Playback Designs MPD-3

It seems like there's not much info on it, all i find is info about the MPS-5.

Ghasley,

Thanks for the response! You said more in a few paragraphs than I was able to find on the entire internet.

There was one for sale just a few days ago that piqued my interest, but it appears to have disappeared just as quickly.

Considering this DAC appears to have all the bases covered regarding possible future resolution advances, I thought there'd be more articles/comments about it. Playback's website is sorely lacking any real info on it.

Again, I appreciate your comments. Sounds like a real player in game.

Ghasley....one more thing: How does it sound vs something like the Berkeley on redbook and 24/96?

Thanks

It kills the Berkeley on rebook but again, it's apples to oranges. The playback designs upsamples everything to 6.1 MHz DSD so it sounds amazing, spacious, ALOT of air around the performers.

Ghasley, how do you playback DSD from computer file? PC or Mac and which software? I am in the process of getting may be a Korg MR-2000s to digitalized my LP and am debating about 24/276 vs DSD/DSD2 format. My understanding is that, at least for PC, all software pretty much much convert DSD to PCM first so you can't stream native DSD to Playback and there was a question whether PureMusic on Mac does the same thing or convert it to PCM first as well. I am using my computer server with MPS-5/ USB-X currently.
