False advertising

“I’m looking for a dac that can do 512 dsd natively eg no dop”

FYI, There are no 512dsd ‘native’ files…the pro studio recording standard is resolution upto 256dsd. Anything above 256dsd is upsampled. 

There are many DAC’s that will do native DSD upto 256dsd, unfortunately your current DAC isn’t one of them. 

There are lots of DACs that handle DSD 512.  That said, certainly not every DAC supports it.  Audiobyte HydraVox has a DSD 512 mode that is quite good and I have others.  Playback designs at a higher end certainly does.  

The d1100 specs claim DSD up to 256. It will playback up to 128 DoP.

In my experience, it can only do DSD 64 natively, unfortunately. The dac is unable to playback higher DSD. 

I found a posting from Innuos related to native DSD playback.

Hi fellow audiogonians. 

I bot a Bryston BDA-3 dac, lo and behold it plays up to dsd 256! While it's an older dac it serves my needs. Good reviews including one from stereophile aka the bible. 

I'm streaming from a G2.1 via USB to the dac. Initially, the dac stalled when playing dsd 64 and 128 files. I swapped in a dsd 256 Bill Evans album that the BDA processed, though there is a subtle pop sound before locking in. 

I activated the upsampling option on the G2 but left the playback unchanged (eg. native not dop). I was able to playback the DSD files. Later, I disabled upsampling option on the G2, and got the same result able to play back dsd while mixing in hi res PCM streams. 

Tech is a biotch. 

I read a very informative review by AS. He walked thru his experience with DSD which was spot on.

Needless to say, I will list the D1100 but need to fine a suave analog preamp unfortunately.
