I have bunch of Dsf and Dff files which I want to convert to PCM.
Looking to check if this is good way to do it, and have a couple of questions....thanks.
My preference is to have Weiss Saracon handle the sample rate conversion down to, say, 24/176 or 88, but Saracon only accepts Dff files, not Dsf as input so need another way to convert these files...
Tried Foobar but found it very slow and have a lot of them to do and not a lot of time!
Thinking to use JRiver library tools/Convert Format to extract the Dsf files as Uncompressed Wav, then convert to playable PCM.
A good way to do it?
Two questions on this method though...
1) As Sacd is mastered -6db compared to PCM, will converting to Uncompressed Flac in JRiver affect this or will I add 6db in e next conversion step?
2) Sacd to PCM conversion usually involves some element of Noise Shaping, 30Khz filters etc, which (I'm assuming) is not done in the conversion to Wav?
Any suggestions on this? Any way to do it post conversion to Wav in JRiver?
I know JRiver plays these files natively, but my server is a bit underpowered and doesn't really cope with on the fly conversions.
Thank you.
