A DAC That Converts PCM To DSD 128

.
The new Sony HAP-Z1ES HDD audio player can convert any signal to DSD 128. Are there any DACs on the market that can do this?

Arh, the Sony player upconverts the file to DSD on the fly, and you can switch it back to play its native resolution if you don't want to listen to DSD. So, no matter the file type, the Sony will play it in its native state or upconvert it during playback...without changing the file type on the hard drive. I'd like to have a DAC that goes both ways like the Sony player. The Sony player will not operate as a stand-alone DAC. .
