A DAC That Converts PCM To DSD 128

.
Neal, below is an excerpt of a review from What Hi-Fi?

Part of the Sony’s internal wizardry is its DSD Remastering engine, which converts all music files to DSD, supposedly improving sound quality in the process.

Thanks to the latest software update, you have the option of turning it on or off, so during testing we experimented to see if we could hear any differences.

Turned off, music seems to have a slightly edgier, more attacking character. Switched on, the Sony goes for a fuller, slightly smoother sound with greater body.

You lose a little in terms of attack, but we preferred the balance with it switched on.

Even compressed tracks and internet radio stations sound relatively luxurious through the HAP-Z1ES.

I recently built a quiet PC and for kicks decided to run JRiver on it.

I enabled DSD2x up sampling of all media (a mix of CD lossless quality, HD material as well as DSD 1x) and was pretty amazed at how much better they sound than sending it natively to my own DAC (which also purports to convert all incoming signals to DSD2x)

The new Sony HAP-Z1ES HDD audio player can convert any signal to DSD 128. Are there any DACs on the market that can do this?

Both DSD-M and the DSD-S convert PCM to DSD.
While the latter converts to DSD64 and DSD128, the reference DSD-M can also convert to DSD256 at 13.5MHz. :-)

On the top of DSD64 or DSD128, the DSD-S also takes up to 384kHz/32bit from USB that is further converted to DSD64 or DSD128, user selectable.

Best wishes,

Doggie - what DAC do you have that converts all signals to 2xDSD?
