I am confused by some of the things that I have heard about the Super DAC. One Big thing is Two chassis one analog and one digital. I find that very interesting as in all actuality there is no Analog stage in the Direcstream DAC. What it outputs is the result of filtering the digital wave produce…

The press release pre-AXPONA gives a better idea of the price range, and I guess this is where I opt out (with distributor premium, will be at least 3M JPY in Japan). I will probably live without an upgrade for a while until there is either a successor to the DS DAC (or a one box TSS light) I have…

I too use a DS Sr. without a Bridge. I use a Sonore Signature Rendu SE as a Roon endpoint, USB to the DS. I have no intention of changing that setup if I don’t have to as it is excellent. I don’t use the volume control on the DS as my setup uses a pre-amp (even though I only have a single input, …

For Chord DAC owners wondering what optical isolation of their MScaler from their DAC would sound like, there is a product coming out in June that does what TSS does: electrically separate the noisy digital side from the necessarily quieter analog side. OPTO•DX is coming! PM me if interested to be…

Hey @tedsmith , any updates on the project?

It’s working reliably on my bench and I listen every chance I get while I’m working (Charlie Musselwhite at the moment.) It takes a while to write the control software and test every piece of hardware: I still haven’t started any new TSS FPGA code/features: I wouldn’t feel bad releasing essentiall…

That’s awesome news. I too am blessed with wife and kids that join in hearing and evaluating sessions. My wife is one of the best analytic listener I have ever met. Beats me by miles.

Ted how is the TSS development affecting the next Direct stream version? Do you expect to have a new mountain in the next six months magicknow

I’m not looking at them as vying for resources, the new TSS code will inform the next DS software release. After the TSS is released (or at least after the new software is ready) then I’ll be backporting the new code to the DS and DS Jr. Almost all source files are shared between the three at this…

Ted would there be any benefit to separating the DAC out into even more boxes beyond just two? I know some of the super high end brands like DCS do this.
