What you hear is not a reconstruction. It is a revelation . The 0s and 1s become a standing wave. The ladder becomes a bridge. And for the first time, you realize: the music was never in the file.
So power it on. Let the ladder warm to its stable 45°C. Send it a DSD stream (it will laugh, convert it to PCM on the fly, and still sound better than it should). Or feed it a simple 44.1kHz Red Book file. r2r opus
