Also, our experience gained during development of the Pacific Microsonics Model Two (and during extensive research into DSD conversion) is that high resolution 176.4 kHz 24 bit or 192 kHz 24 bit recordings are capable of sounding significantly better than any DSD recording, although DSD can sound very good if not edited or converted from PCM.īecause of this, we currently produce D to A converters designed to have the best possible fidelity with PCM files even at the expense of native DSD compatibility. In our experience, modifying the Alpha DAC Series 2 to also accommodate DSD files would compromise the ultimate quality of PCM reproduction.
Here is the answer I got from Michael Ritter regarding the Berkeley and DSD:Ī number of things we do in the Alpha DAC Series 2 with filtering and clocking (some are tricky and aren’t quite what they might appear to be) are optimized to produce the best possible audio quality with PCM recordings.
