Devialet Dialog

[madumm]

Quick question, does dialog playback DSD file like DSF or DFF?

Quick answer: I guess not. May be after an upgrade in the future this will be possible. Same goes for MQA. 

Isn't it more the case that Dialog can, or may be able to, accept/read DSD files, but at present the Devialet "expert" range DAC cannot decode them because it is limited to192hz? My W4S Server's USB output supports up to 32/384, and  DSD128, but I cannot play files at this resolution via my D400 USB input. I have a few DSD music files which I can only play via my W4S DAC (which also supports up to 32/384 and DSD128) via the D400 line input, where, I believe, they are "re scaled" to 192Hz before output. This is very annoying, because I do not have the opportunity of hearing what these, supposed hi res music files, sound like through my D400 - is it all hype, or is there a difference? Perhaps, as we understand, Devialet will add DSD capability to the on-board DAC with the next Firmware update, so giving the opportunity to at least compare and contrast differing standards!

You will not be able to playback 384. DAC supports till 192
However, DSD can be done since 172 is more than enough bandwidth for it.

Need to resample for dxd.
