Mike replied to a thread Esoteric DAC type, DSD or PCM? in Esoteric

It’s both, but their strength is DSD (SACD). They still dominate by a country mile for SACD (which is DSD on a disc). In my opinion…. Best DAC’s for DSD: - Esoteric - Lampizator - Meitner/EMM (not my kind of sound, but they execute it...

Brad, while still steam powered, the days of coal fired locomotives on the D&S have come to an end. To the best of my knowledge the conversion to oil fired is complete. Regardless, a great ride up along the Anamas river as you know !
