DSD-Ready DACs

[Updated: 5.1.2013]
Auralic Vega digital audio processor ($3,500) [see review]Another option on the hardware side is the Korg MR-2000S ($1,799). The Korg has an 80GB internal drive so you can send a DSD file from your computer to your Korg MR-2000S via USB and then play it through your hi-fi (Korg > RCA/Balanced > hi-fi). While this isn't an ideal setup, it works and also explains why so many DSD fans are so excited about the $1,695 Mytek DAC.Benchmark DAC2 HGC ($1,995)

And finally where do you get DSD that isn't a SACD disc to play on your computer audio-based hi-fi? Beyond ripping your SACDs (see sacd-ripper), here are a few more sources:
2L (DSD downloads are sourced from DXD masters)For more on DSD as it relates to computer audio, check out the DSD-Guide.com and The Well-Tempered Computer.

Thanks for pointing that out (and I even saw and photographed the actual Mytek DAC at RMAF)!

Isn't the price of the Playback Designs Music Playback System 3 $6,500? That's a figure Jonathan Tinn gave me just a couple weeks ago. The 5 is about $13,000.

I had included the Music Playback System 3 (MPS-3) which is $8,500 but it makes more sense to list the MPD-3 DAC here. Thanks!
I'll check into the Meitner/EMM labs gear.

Looks like Meitner support DoP : http://www.meitner.com/downloads/MA1-Read-Me-First.txt


There is a much better DSD plugin than DSDIFF for Foobar:

I guess you can add the new Benchmark DAC2-hgc.

Our new dac Vega which supports DoP and digital volume control, more infos here:

Auralic Vega $3500 (femto clock, 24/384 and DSD64/DSD128)
Korg DSD-DAC10 $695 !!

Why Esoteric D-03 is on the list?

Hi Michael,
Just wanted to let you know that the new Pioneer VSX-1123 ($599) and the Elite VSX-70 also decode DSD files (2.8mhz) from the USB or network inputs.
