NEXT UP... FULL REVIEW OF THE SIGNALYST DSC2 OPEN SOURCE HARDWARE PURE DSD DAC with HQPLAYER

I have had the Signalyst DAC for sometime; actually I am enjoying Akiko Suwanai playing the Sibelius Violin Concerto in D minor op.47 in Native DSD64 (well, oversampled to DSD256 for the slightly long 32 tap (for a DSD Moving Average/CIC FIR) filter.  I would go all the way to DSD512 but my PC cannot handle the conversion.  

With the arrival of the E1DA Scaler, there is no longer an impedance mismatch between the output transformers of the DAC and the E1DA ADC, so its time for some 'real' measurements to see how it performs on paper.  

I can already tell you how it performs to the ear.  It is magnificent.  That is all that matters, but curiosity always gets the best of me.  Besides, I want to see what the (hardware) filter's performance parameters actually are... approximate -3db cutoff and rolloff.

I am really looking forward to this one!
