Studios have been taking the DSD data stream from SACD's for years. The EMM Labs and Playback Designs machines pass a pure DSD stream in stock form. We had to "modify" the EMM Labs ADC because the SACD Scarlet book spec allows for a +3db signal and when directly converted to PCM, there is clipping. With so many "hot" SACD's, we were getting too much clipping when the EMM Labs coverter did the PCM conversion. This is a moot point now that we just capture the DSD data stream and do SRC using SARACON.
