Re: RTZ SDM (DSD) DAC

I don't know where this evening has gone! I prefer the JLSounds USB board to the Amanero but it would complicate matters with connections to the PCM2DSD module.

My preference has been a modified AYA2 I've been using for 16 years so looking forward to properly comparing the RTZ . I can only listen to DSD files at...
