MC 22, Playing DSD files with a non DSD DAC?

(1/1)

Todd R:
Got a new DAC (Schiit Gungnir) that does not do DSD, but does support 24/192. I'm trying to figure out how to configure JRiver to hear my DSD files. I'm not going to be converting the files as I use 2 other DACs in different systems that are DSD capable, I just need to customize the output for the Gungnir. 
Can anyone help?

Awesome Donkey:
Actually, what happens when you attempt to straight play the DSD files? They should automatically be converted to PCM on-the-fly as long as DSD bitstreaming isn't enabled.

At least it works that way with my Schiit DAC.

EDIT: You should also open DSP Studio > Output Format and set all sample rates above 192,000 Hz to resample to 192,000 Hz (like so below) and it *should* output DSD files fine at 24/192 PCM.

Todd R:
Thanks,
They still play, but I wasn't sure if the files were being output at the best setting. I'll try your suggestion.

Yep, that works  :D
