DSD from a Server to dCS Delius via Firewire?
I've been looking at the dCS Delius, which has firewire as an option and is DSD compatible. Since I'm in the process of ripping all of my CDs to hard drive (again, last time to make mp3s, this time to make wavs). I started wondering... If you have a firewire out, could you run firewire from the computer to the Delius and theoretically get jitter-free playback?
I realize there isn't (or at least I don't know of any) software to upsample 16/44.1 to DSD on a WinXP box, but some bright bulb will do that eventually, right? Is there enough processing firepower in a generic (or even higher end) WinXP box to do that kind of upsampling? You know, kind of a software dCS Purcell?
On that note, but on a more practical theme, any dCS Delius owners able to comment on whether you can run firewire from a music server directly into the Delius? Is the firewire port DSD only? I'm guessing the firewire version of the Purcell is a firewire output only to connect to the Delius?
