I know the C2C stuff was OT, but I received a follow-up email from Kingwa, and have edited my post above accordingly.

If it is correct, then the more sophisticated PSU in DAC19MK3 may not be the big selling point of the DAC |

[size=medium]Mode A:[/size] HDCD 24Bit DAC, because the PMD100 so only support to 32-55K. PMD100 sound better than DF1704, though playing normal CD format (Redbook CD). [size=medium] Mode B:[/size] Support 24Bit/96KHz , apply DF1704 as digital filter, can't support HDCD. |
