Converting DSD64 to DSD128

(1/3) > >>

Hello,

I noticed it is possible to have MC convert a DSD64 file to DSD128.
During this process, will the DSD64 file be converted to PCM first (which would defeat the purpose)?

-R.

blgentry:
As far as I know, all of MC's audio conversions go through PCM in the middle.

But really, "upconversion" is kind of a weird thing to begin with isn't it?  I mean, you can't create new data where there was no data to start with.  So, by definition, any conversion from DSD64 to DSD128 is artificial and "made up".  You can't create new data.

rovo:
DSD128 has advantages over DSD64. Obviously not in creating data that's not there to begin with but much more in terms of where noise resides. DSD128 doesn't need quite such an aggressive filter as DSD64 does, when it is converted to PCM.

-R.

I take it though SACD ISO -> DSF conversions don't go PCM first?

They do actually. Converting SACD ISO to DSF or DFF (or DFF to DSF or vice versa) will also go through PCM.
