Overview
Playback Designs' MPD-3 DAC is the same construction internally as the popular MPS-3 CD Player, but without a disc transport.
Designed by Andreas Koch, a discrete digital circuit performs the D/A conversion using an FPGA with an original algorithm.
The MPD-3 achieves it's "analogue sound" by converting all incoming PCM signals, including USB signals, to a 5.8/6.1MHz DSD format before outputting them as analog signals.
An apodizing upsampling filter for 44.1 and 48kHz sample rates helps compensate for some of the ringing effects caused by brickwall filters in the Analog to Digital Converters used during recording.
AES/EBU for PCM up to 24 / 192kHz
