Discrete output

No worries. It’s just some things like this are easy to test. Others eg audiophile network switches, cables can get pretty pricey!

I got a question if there are any analog filtering in the output stage on dCS dac’s or is it only digital FIR filters in the FPGA chips that is used to filter out the high band noise, if dCS can tell us?

Then there is 8 OP amps in the output stage probably only for the RCA’s unbalanced, but i cant see any discrete components for the balanced section that dCS states ?
