REVIEW - Yulong Audio Sabre DA8 Reference DAC
If I even partially understood what that meant, I might try it, Lol. Anyways, not really interested. I am content with what I am getting with current capabilities and settings. Thanks anyway for the suggestion/help.- mrcasey

REVIEW - Yulong Audio Sabre DA8 Reference DAC
Yes, 2 X DSD is 128. Not 256 like I stated in my first post. I have yet to see any 512 files. Playing a native 512 DSD file would be the best test. I wouldn't worry about anything at this point.- mrcasey

REVIEW - Yulong Audio Sabre DA8 Reference DAC
I am using JRiver, Yulong Asio and converting to 256. Can't see any option to convert to 512. No issues here at 256- mrcasey

REVIEW - Yulong Audio Sabre DA8 Reference DAC
Perhaps some clarification from those "in the know" because the specs do seem to indicate that the DA8 will play DSD256 and DSD512: Technical Specifications : USB Input format support: PCM 16-32bit 44.1Khz 48Khz 88.2Khz 96Khz 176.4Khz 192Khz 352.8Khz 384Khz DSD64,DSD128 - On Windows...- mrcasey

If I didn't have the D8 on order I would get an A18 again. At times I regret selling mine. Not because I am unhappy with the A28 (I prefer it overall for my headphones) but because it has such a sweet sound to it. I am regularly tempted to get an HD800, just to have around, and I think it...- mrcasey

Although I sold my A18 to a friend and do not have it here for direct comparison, I find the A28 suits my Audeze headphones better. Just my take on things. It may not be the "better' of the two amps as project86 detailed above (and I agree with) but synergy makes up for things in my case...- mrcasey

This could be a strong contender for ultimate amp, especially if Yulong voices it a little more towards neutral than he did the A18:- mrcasey

REVIEW - Yulong Audio Sabre DA8 Reference DAC
I believe if the DAC was malfunctioning it would not play DSD either. I say Mac drivers or the computer is likely to blame here.- mrcasey

REVIEW - Yulong Audio Sabre DA8 Reference DAC
I am actually looking at a pair of Dynaudio BM15A's. The speaker chat here inspired me. I have a nice 2 channel (external amp powered) set up right now but I have always been interested to try out some powered monitors. I will run them through the DA8 for now and then down the road with...- mrcasey

I just downloaded four albums from this site: http://www.soundliaison.com/ Absolutely amazing recordings in 24/96 for anybody looking for some good material to test (and enjoy) with their gear. Amoung the best I have heard. Up there with BlueCoast and dsdfile.com.- mrcasey

Although the input in the above photo reads 44.1khz, I have only been listening to DSD so far. In particular the Music from Blue Coast Records and dsdfile.com. Either direct to DSD recordings or direct to DSD from analog masters. Amazing stuff if you like the genre of music these sites offer...- mrcasey
