Can one add DSD capability. Will the DAC be automatic and sense the signal? What needs to be done? Is there a USB card I can use directly? Currently using Offramp 3 which will not accommodate DSD. (24/96 max) Thanks, Jeff

Offramp won't handle more than 24/96. B3 has no usb input. Any ideas?

Just trying to give the best info I can.

Will the BIII decode the new DSD over USB protocol using your proposed new USB receiver ? Thanks, Crazy Bill
