NEW: SoX Resampling
sorepinky:
I've been using SoX resampling for some months now and there's absolutely nothing wrong with the sound when resampling any FLAC - be it 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96 or 192 - to 176.4. It sounds extremely crisp and clean to me. Then again, there is no way to listen to SoX in isolation from a complete sound system, its environment or my mood, so that perceived clarity probably has very little to do with the resampling algorithm - and I wouldn't claim to hear resampling differences buried deep below the noise floor of any sound system and beyond the threshold of human hearing anyway! ;D

I didn't listen under double blind conditions so, yes, I am skeptical of my own perception. And you are right about the noise floor and our hearing threshold. Still, I thought a heard a difference when I turned SoX off after a day of listening to it but I can't be sure. I only installed MC22 a day ago and will continue trying SoX but I think it wise for JRiver not to be too hasty to make it the default just yet.
Blaine78:
I'd like to see more high-quality upsampling options, e.g. minimum phase apodizing. I have an R2R non-oversampling DAC, and these options are very welcome, they replace the average oversampling that 90% of DACs have. Enjoying greatly the high-quality upsampling options that other software vendors have implemented, be nice to see JRiver do the same. High-quality upsampling audio for videos would be a dream come true.
Eisenhart:
Simple request.
Can you add a checkbox in SoX to either enable or disable de-emphasis?
Also,
Are the default setting using dither, and if so, can it be disabled/enabled as a checkbox?
thanks
Thouston:
Dither can be disabled under Tools-Options-Audio-Advanced.
