Is there even any readily available DSD hardware?  I'm aware of some
Sony prototype gear, an editing system called Pyramix, and Sonic Studio,
and I don't imagine that any of those would sell just the hardware or
open up the specs of the hardware for writing drivers.

Additionally, is there even a standard yet that would be the DSD
equivelent of AES or S/PDIF?
