Yes. And this is also the reason I will be there, *if* I am there, which is not 100% sure yet. And Phasure will be ... Not. The decision (luckily) wasn't taken by myself but by external forces. Don't tell, but this is all too close to Switzerland, the home of Weiss. And Venture is to showcase Weiss for historical reasons. And now there's no way around "him". I hope it is clear a bit without too many words ... So no NOS1a in that room either. Sorry for that ! But if you are there anyway, do not hesitate to have a chat with Didi, the owner of Venture. Just be careful that D.W. is not in the room at that time ... Peter PS: Just heard this today. Peter, I am deeply grieved, but I am looking forward to listen to your new (DSD)DAC and as you know D.W. hates DSD..... Matt |

It just occurred to me that it should still be possible over time to offer his new dac circuitry in a standalone unit without the additional DSP and amplifier modules which might make it affordable enough to those who must have the absolutely latest dac.
If I understand Peter correctly you can get this DAC with line outputs and without any amp and DSP modules: The new Phasure Modular Distinct can just be a 2 channel with line outs (RCA, BNC, XLR).Matt |

Ultimate Audio Playback / Phasure NOS1 DAC / Re: New Phasure Modular Distinct D/A converter

I like the unique DSD capabilities of the new DAC:
"What I feel is that DSD in the end is the better format, BUT when used as upsampled means of 16/44.1 and when done right. So indeed, nothing like "only when DSD remains unmolested right from the recording" it is right. It doesn't exist anyway (when analog mixing was used Yes, but what to say ...).
So just for your information, our D/A converter is 24/768 input-capable for this filtering reason (choose any filtering means you like in-PC). Still this is not enough in my view, which is why I meantioned the 24/11.28 MHz PCM input in near future (PCM x256).
That this is also DSD x256 capable is another matter, but crucial for apples and apples comparison; now all goes through the exact same electrical means and speed and current draw etc.
What I'm also saying and "claiming" thus far (I mean, as long as the real physical thing is not operational yet) is that DSD will be the better format than PCM, when upsampled/filtered from 16/44.1. But I also said (above) "when done right". The difference ?
No noise shaping into the HF regions, no matter many will say it is harmless. So DSD as we are used to, but now without all the HF noise."
I am very curious.

Peter,
a short question only:
Is this the DAC you mentioned here and on the CA forum, which gets running DSD256 and PCM256 through the same hardware?
Matt
Peter, please, a short answer. YES or NO. Thanks Matt |

My hunch would be some kind of discrete delta sigma DAC.
Makes a lot of sense to go that route.
So for that reason, Phasure Sigma would make a lot of sense as a name.
Michael
Yes, Phasure Sigma or NOS Sigma or NOSigma Matt |
