HiFi Rose RD160
Didn't initially hear any details given on the type of converter being used, more focus seemed to be on the display and interface. Then I caught an indication of 'Delta Sigma' in the DAC's block diagram on the large display in the background.- audiobill

Thanks to those who have responded, and I do have some DSD512 files but don't run HQP. Trying to confirm the maximum rate of the Harmony's input DSD support.- audiobill

LAiV Harmony R2R DAC Impression and Reviews
The LAiV site shows it supports a maximum DSD rate of 256, yet one reviewer claims he used it with HQ Player providing DSD512 and in another the display showed 1024. Can anyone explain this discrepancy? :thinking: (Btw 6Moons clearly said the Harmony doesn't OS with DSD.) TIA- audiobill

LAiV Harmony R2R DAC Impression and Reviews
One strange thing in the Virtual HiFi review is he claims to use it with DSD512 from HQ Player, yet the LAiV site states it supports a maximum of DSD256 via USB or I2S- audiobill

New Audio-gd R-7, R-7HE R-8, R-27, R-27HE, R-28 Flagship Resistor Ladder DACs and DAC/amps
I think you misinterpreted the text on the website: "Two chassis versions available". This applies to the black or silver finished chassis, not a version with two chassis.- audiobill

Ferrum WANDLA - Impressions Thread
Saw that Herb Reichert reviews the Wandla DAC in the latest issue of Stereophile. In his conclusion he states (paraphrased) that when used with the optional Hypsos power supply and the HQ Player filters it's consistently enjoyable and musically engaging, and easily competes with DACs in the $10K...- audiobill

Good to see that RS130 owners are so favorably impressed with it they're willing to wait for Roon certification and pending software updates. Thanks for your responses.- audiobill
