How do they do DSD if it is true ladder dac? Do they oversample. This would ruin it for me

HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner.
Many manufacturers are going back to R2R Multibit d/a conversion, a good portion of audiophiles are saying it sounds better than the cheaper d/a conversion of Delta Sigma, (1 bit), Bitstream, Saber. etc.
And it says it uses dual R2R’s Multibits to support DSD natively!!?
Product Description:This new DAC.”Spring” is the first design of a new era, a milestone for HOLO Audio’s own Jeff Zhu. It’s a full discrete R2R type of audio decoder and does not have off the shelf-DAC chip! This is a bespoke custom-designed core DAC module and truly a breakthrough with technology for any DAC chip today. The Spring is here to achieve new heights, new dynamics and simply a full spectrum of audio to please the aural senses. This Dac has been called the poor mans Total Dac / MSB / Wavedream / Chord Dave Etc. It plays with the big boys.

ahendlerI’m no digital expert, but I think it’s the same way as MSB do it on their mega dollar flagships with multiple multibit dacs, that are also discrete multibit, yet able to do native dsd. But there's no decent music available on native dsd anyway so why bother. And the PCM redbook 16/44 or 24/96 that's been converted to dsd "Hirez downloads to me sound at best average. Cheers George |
