My DAC's (Schiit) don't support playing a DSD file, so I convert them to PCM. I have less then 20 SACD's compared to hundreds or standard redbook CD's, so it wasn't a concern to buy a DAC to play the few DSD files. The PCM 24/88.2 actually sound great too, so I don't feel like I am missing out on anything.

It's pretty easy and not too expensive to own a DAC that plays just about all digital formats and even sounds great doing it. I discovered FiiO about two years ago and they make little portable digital players that actually sound just as good if not better than full size DACs. I own a Mytek Brooklyn Bridge and it sounds superb, but it cost $3000. For $450 you can buy a FiiO M11 digital player that sounds almost as good and plays all the digital formats up through DSD256. If you want one that does sound just as good as my Brooklyn Bridge, both the FiiO M11 Pro and the FiiO M15 will provide absolutely awesome sound quality. However, the standard M11 is just about as good and it has ports for two 1TB micro SD cards so you can store your whole digital library. The best part is that it plays all the formats directly from its plugin micro SD cards so there's no need for a computer. You'll see all your albums on its one-megapixel touch screen display.

I now own the Flagship M15 and it has become my main digital player. If I'd discovered FiiO before I bought my Brooklyn Bridge, I'd never have bought it.

Happy listening!

Thanks. Guess I Should Count Mine Before I Decide What To Do. (nt) - Sibelius 11:47:40 03/07/21 (0)
