I'd like to add some personal info about DSC in Pavel's implementation.
First of all I'm a big fan of this DAC. 🙂
I bought DSC v2.5 version in December 2017. Few weeks later my Auralic Vega DAC had been sold 🙂.
Since then with help of Pavel and Russian DSC community I've tried variety way of PCM-DSD conversion: off-line Saracon and AuI ConverteR 48x44, on-line sox resampler (Daphile), Roon engine, HQPlayer, hardware AK4137EQ converter.
From my point of view HQP offers the best possible sound quality and flexibility.
My choice is HQP DSD512 with poly-sinc-xtr or closed-form filter. Amanero firmware for now isn't very well optimized for DSD512, but it is the best SQ I've heard.
I had an opportunity to test LL 1527XL last month. IMHO it’s slightly better then stock Chinese transformers, but sound slightly “colder” with less “soul”.
Pavel decided to stay with Chinese transformers, I’ll try LL1684 in a week.

Dear Pavel and Vit123,
Please add me in the request list for a v. 2.6.2 board without transformers.
Also I prefer RCA output only.
(My request on the old DSC1 thread can be found at post #671)

Is this thread the right place to discuss alternatives (non-transformer) for the transformer output stage?
