Hi all,
I’m currently using:
Output: SDM
Rate Limit: 24576000 (DSD512)
Bit Rate: Auto (Auto Rate Family on)
Modulator: AMSDM7EC 512+fs
1x: sinc-MGa
Nx: poly-sinc-gauss-hires-lp
DAC Bits: 20
DAC Correction on (Holo May NOS mode)
I’ve been reading the subjective impressions of modulators with interest. I keep coming back to AMSDM7EC 512+fs. It’s older than the v3 EC modulators but in my system it gives a heft to the music that offsets the tendency for DSD to sound ethereal or light. Its also a bit lighter on the computation than the v3, which assists with sinc-MGa for 1x with DAC correction.
I recently tried PCM upsampled to 1536000 for a time using closed-form-M and sinc-MGa but found it a bit flat and reverted to SDM as above.
If people have the time I’d be interested to know how they hear AMSDM7EC 512+fs compared to other mods.
