My hardware device supports DSD512 and DSD1024 decoding, and I also have some DSD512 and DSD1024 audio sources, I hope Audirvana will also update the support for DSD512 and even DSD1024 as soon as possible

If you mean upsampling and modulating to these resolutions, here’s the situation at the moment: Limit from MacOS is DSD256 with most DACs, DSD512 from Windows or Linux. (Linux if you are using UPnP/DLNA to a Linux endpoint.) MacOS does DSD over PCM, which halves the bit rate used for music, so unle…

How strange - in 2020, someone reported in this forum that they had been doing DSD512 on a Mac with the Ares II, but could not get their Holo Audio May to do more than DSD256 from the same computer. Edit: I think if you look at the PCM specs, you’ll see what they mean is that you can be assured of …

[IMG_3758] Reynaldo, you probably need one of these for your collection :wink:

I’m not sure about this as there is a also a limit the upsampling algorithm can handle it. Does anybody tried to upsample a track to DSD 1024 using HQPlayer for example?

[image] Reynaldo: Because I don’t know of any DAC that does DoP512. It’s unlikely you will find one but would be interesting if this is something that appeared in a spec sheet of a DSD 1024 device (which by the way, giving the number of those devices on the market, could probably be counted w…

The Holo May states it could do DSD 512 in it’s manual, you are right. Does @sridavid can maybe tell us more about it if he still got this unit?

The May manual does say DSD512 over DoP, though I wonder if that is exclusive to Windows, or Windows and Linux. There are a number of DACs that will do DSD1024 over native DSD to Windows, or Windows and Linux, but are limited to DSD256 over DoP with MacOS. I’m supposing it’s a matter of driver/kern…

I want to see the results of any listening tests using multiple subjects (subjective or double-blind) that will provide definitive evidence that modulating PCM to DSD512 or DSD1024 provides a tangible level of auditory/sensorial perception in contextual harmonic and dynamic energy; in direct compari…

[image] Agoldnear: auditioned through the average audiophile playback system… I don’t think that people who prefer listening to PCM modulated to DSD512 or DSD1024 do this via a set-up which is comparable to the “average” audiophile playback system. So in this point you might be right. Matt

Holo May DAC, DSD512 USB DAC

Cannot get playback at DSD512 with the Holo May, although it is capable of PCM1536/DSD1024. From a MacBook Pro. No problem with the Denafrips Ares II: excellent playback at DSD512. What could be causing this?
