I just got my Cosmos Scaler so while testing to see that is working, I thought I would see how DSD1024 looks. To be honest when I saw how much worse DSD512 was vs DSD256 I wasn’t motivated to try DSD1024 last week. But here it is and as expected, things again get even worse with DSD1024. Maybe the one wideband plot looks better at DSD1024 but everything else gets worse, so not worth it to me. DSD256 + ASDM5EC-Super = 👌 DSD256: ![DSD256 ASDM5 - MT](https://roon-community-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/original/4X/0/a/6/0a636009c24e581fb98b4c9ef3c0de6df985c9f3.png) DSD512: ![DSD512 ASDM5 - MT](https://roon-community-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/original/4X/0/b/9/0b984c8f4ff01ba63cff4ce43aecad19602aa184.png) DSD1024: ![DSD1024 ASDM5 - MT](https://roon-community-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/original/4X/6/6/a/66ad352483523b3d6a78c357562c8e7d26c51fdb.png) DSD256: ![DSD256 ASDM5 - 1kHz](https://roon-community-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/original/4X/d/0/6/d06e864d2edb270697c55fac4e34e70a3b1b1ee7.png) DSD512: ![DSD512 ASDM5 - 1kHz](https://roon-community-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/original/4X/8/8/2/8827a7b64a4b76350f677acf5ae053a2622132c2.png) DSD1024: ![DSD1024 ASDM5 - 1kHz](https://roon-community-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/original/4X/2/0/b/20bafe70f09b2608445fe432d65bb0b1961a4605.png) --- _[View the full topic](https://community.roonlabs.com/t/best-native-dsd-dacs-for-use-with-hqplayer/132298)._
