DSD audio DAC
testing 'DSD audio' using firewire and a special DAC.
left to right: ac power, firewire audio (up to 192k/24bit), standard line-out RCA pair.
this uses the new linux 'snd-dice' pseudo sound driver. it sits on top of regular firewire but provides a more 'HD audio' interface that some DACs can understand. I believe you can also send this data over usb2 and even spdif.
this is a pretty nice sounding and feature full DAC. too bad it has a horrible front panel user interface and display.
