1. yes - Cyan2 does no digital processing on data (for both PCM and DSD inputs) - it is pure conbverter. Better said - it is two converters in one case.I have a few questions, 1. the cyan 2 will natively convert DSD to analog, without converting to PCM first?
2. As far as I know the R2R is for PCM, not DSD. So if my focus is to use HQplayer an convert all PCM to DSD, I should not care about R2R, right?
3. Then how is the quality of the cyan 2 on processin the DSD signals??
2. yes - R2R PCM converter is not used for DSD input and vice versa.
3. DSD part measures excellently at DSD256.
