Hello @goofyfoot. Thanks for reporting on the BDP Pi! I'll have to look into that. Am considering a JCAT USB card and doing Mac Mini > JCAT > QB9 Twenty, but will also look at the Bryston unit.
HDCD To MacMini To Ayre QB9 Twenty DAC
Here I am, waiting as patiently as possible to receive my newly upgraded Ayre QB9 Twenty DAC. With the upgrade comes the ability to playback HDCD cd’s. The only HDCD’s that I’m aware of owning are the Rhino releases of Grateful Dead shows. What I don’t know about is whether I just rip the HDCD onto my hard drive and then my DAC will read it that way? Also, I’m thinking that Audirvana won’t transport the HDCD signal even though it will with DSD files. Any insights would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
Thanks!
