Does the Devialet decimate an incoming DSD signal during it's processing? Also, after the initial conversion to PCM are DSD files converted back to DSD since the Devialet DAC is capable of native conversion of DSD?
I am thinking about purchasing a D200 and since I have a large number of DSD files, I would like to understand how they are handled by the Devialet. I don't quite understand what this passage in their white paper means:
MAT DSD Core technology converts the DSD format into Expert internal native PCM 40 bits / 384 kHz format thanks to an optimized algorithm, limiting the amount of computational operations on the audio stream. Using only 15 bit perfect additions (no multiplication, no storage), the MAT algorithm performs a 128 taps, linear phase FIR (Finite Impulse Response) digital filter ensuring the conversion of the DSD format into internal native PCM format with truly outstanding performances.
