That's my reading of it. Makes no difference to me KPIP v1, v2, v3 or whatever. It's not an attribute I care about.

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

No. There is only one DAC. It accepts PCM or DSD signals. PCM upconversion, and PCM to DSD conversion happens in a FPGA prior to the DAC. The DAC is just a software algorithm in an FPGA. So there are two FPGA's one of which is dedicated to the...

They are sigma-delta modulator DAC's with flow pass filter. PCM signals are processed as PCM, or PCM signals can be converted to DSD before being converted from digital to analog. Esoteric also give you the choice of upconverting PCM signals before...

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...

Since they are the same DAC, perhaps you may look into upgrading the CD transport or/and clock. Also note that you can power down the network board in N-05XD when you're using a non-network digital input.
