    Hello All, I've searched the site but am not finding any tests for the Shield. Does anybody know if they've been done? I've been super happy with the usb performance using Kodi, Cast and uPnP/DLNA up to DSD128. Just interested in how the audio performance is with squiggles on a screen.

    Would be happy to, but doesn't the Nvidia Shield not have any analog outs?

    How are you managing DSD128? I’ve been running Shields for years and the only usb audio options I get are 44.1 or if I set it to high quality USB mode I get 192k. Is there a way to do bitstream bit perfect USB audio?

    Hi Greg, I'm traveling until next week so I'll check then. Running Kodi my Dacs are lighting up their respective DSD lights when I play my ripped SACDs dsf files, but I can't remember what the settings are. It's been a while since I set it up, it's been running so well.
