I have read many times that PMD100 is supposed to be superior to the DF1704. But it seems that the people at Pacific Valve prefer DF1704 with the dac-19mk3.
So it would be very intersting to see if modding the analog filter gives the edge back to the PMD100 chip

The issue people are having is the analog filter cuts into the audio band, this will affect the PMD100 more, fixing the analog filter will solve this and show the PMD100's potential. In other words the analog filter was designed around the DF1704 not the PMD100. |
