Remarks
JadeAudio markets the JIEZI for PCM 32-bit / 384 kHz and "DSD256 decoding" — naming the DSD rate without naming its transport. The descriptor settles what the copy leaves open: PCM to 32-bit / 384 kHz, and native raw DSD to DSD256 on a dedicated alt.
The vague "decoding" undersells the silicon. DSD arrives natively here, not folded over PCM — witnessed, not merely claimed.
