In Reply to: Upsampling everything to DSD SACD posted by bullethead on November 17, 2020 at 17:13:47:
Well, my Marantz Ruby SACD player upsamples to DSD at 11.2 MHz all PCM input internally. That output sounds very smooth and clean, but I still prefer an exteral DAC for PCM conversion. Marantz must have made that design decision for some good reason (to them). I like it with aggressive CDs. And the SACD performance is outstanding.
