SPDIF has limited bandwidth

SPDIF can not support the higher data rate DSD and PCM formats that are coming into use and which are now supported by some DACs, e.g. DSD256, DXD, 768Khz/32 bit, etc... There are good reasons for doing digital signal processing outboard from the DAC and sending a higher datarate stream to the DAC. These formats are interesting even if little or no music has been released in them.
