New to NativeDSD? NativeDSD Music sells high-resolution music downloads: over 4,000 albums from more than 100 record labels, all recorded in DSD, DXD or high-resolution PCM, or transferred directly from analog tape. Available in DSD 64 up to DSD 1024, DXD and FLAC.
The last few years many different manufacturers have produced DACs that understand a DSD bitstream.
We created a handy google sheet document to figure out if your DAC understands DSD, and at which rates and channels.
Why a DAC is not listed in the database
Usually when a DAC is not included in the list at www.nativedsd.com/database it is because it does not employ a separate chipset for the DSD signal. There are many DAC's that indeed decode a DSD bitstream, but will convert to PCM before they can make the signal analogue.
