I love DSD because it’s most analog of all the digital formats. “For easier comparsion(lower is better), we overlay the two phase noise graph at the same scale, under 25khz(human listenable range) over 25khz(human unlistenable range)” crystek is better with with lower ppm IMO. Some believe lowering the kHz and not using nyquist doubled sampling 44.1 in playback is better because it focuses on the frequencies of what people can actually hear. There are also debates about crystek vs silicon I believe crystek is better! The clocks that give off Ultra low phase noise oscillation work best in real time playback! And a rule of them you never want introduce unintended noise to the audio signal. The clocks are what a great needle is to vinyl players and lasers are to cd/dvd players. However, there’s been huge improvement in this with clocks and buffering with heavy cpu intensity especially upsampling in real time (that’s why the Ashton and Kern portable flagship player cost 3 grand!) Digital errors in files or how things are processed is huge problem. I absolutely agree with the conclusion on the “Problem”. There are better mp3s players for that with better apps like upsampling the files to play at CD quality. Not sure why people buy this player or any dac with the akm4497 when all they play on them are mp3s. High-end Audio, Professional Audio, AV Receivers, CD/SACD Players, Network Audio, USB DAC’s The digital input supports up to 768 kHz PCM and 22.4 MHz DSD (Direct Stream Digital), recreating high-resolution sound that is as close as possible to the original acoustic source. The first in the industry, a 22.4MHz DSD input is supported. That’s why you buy a dac with chip like the akm4497 and that’s why they advertise it to play DSD NATIVELY and PCM at up to 768 kHz PCM at 32 bit.įrom the offical Akm page of the Ak4497eq: They like DXD which is PCM in higher sampling and higher resolution. Moreover, many jazz enthusiasts (myself included) and recording studios favor DSD over any other format. The player believes it’s in PCM container but that’s a longer more older method process not used in many modern dacs and requires a lot of cpu power. The DSD sounds fine and maybe they convert the Native files and trick to player as in DoP. If you played dsd at PCM red book -0.1 it would clip on the peaks in many recordings! I honestly don’t know what you are talking about it being played at a higher volume that’s actually how they normalize many mp3s by jacking up the volume. You actually the opposite you have lower the dB either -3 or below when converting PCM to DSD. It’s not the same sampling rate nor process. One is streamed with more information on one bit and the latter PCM (Flac) depending on resolution is generally 44/16 that means it streams at 44.1 in 16 bit resolution. No! It is entirely different way the file is a processed.
