I use a vertere acoustics double d-fi cost me about £150/m, data and power on the cable run on seperate lines.

Since when nordost odin sells 3.5mm to 3.5mm?

Get the benchmark dac 1 on maybe the audiolab mdac, both have the same sound signature, with the mdac being more aggressive

I would like to have followings for my dream DAP 1)supports 24/384 pcm and 1x and 2x native dsd bitstreaming 2)longer battery life than the current fiio x5 3)balanced line out 4)more responsive ui 5)way cheaper than the ak240

You could update your asio proxy(foo_dsd_asio) to version 0.66 to get DSD512 option under 'PCM to DSD method'

Take a look at these sites, u may have to google translate as they are in Chinese I think:   http://www.hiendy.com/hififorum/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=56817 http://www.hiendy.com/hififorum/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=56788

Change the 'pcm to dsd method' setting to either SDM type A, B,C or D under ASIO proxy settings

But it is stated in the the specifications that it could support

Thanks for your reply. Maybe you could report back after you get a new set?

It matters, your ipod has to be above 6th gen to bypass the dac. In your case, it should work.

Which generation ipod?

Hi guys, I am considering to buy this dac for a secondary system   Is the Yulong DA8 able to upsample PCM to DSD256 or DSD512 in foobar2000?
