The code for DSD for the M scaler and TT2 is identical. Unfortunately, it is impossible to repair the damage that DSD does; damage to resolution of transients and small signals can't be restored. It's not like PCM, where the original bandwidth limited sampled signal theoretically can be completely restored by the use of a sinc function. Transients corrupted by DSD noise shaping can't be restored. What we can do, is remove the HF distortion and noise that DSD creates, and this is done very efficiently with the DSD filters built into TT2 or the M scaler. By removing this noise we get much better conversion to analogue - the analogue and the original digital DSD64 files measure the same.
