Loading to memory setting
DomieMic65:
Which setting is supposed to be better sound wise?
Load to memory full file not decoded or decoded?
Does it have to do if DSP for upsampling or for converting to DSD is used?
Awesome Donkey:
IMO, it all sounds the same to me.
I guess try them and see for yourself.
DomieMic65:
Thank you for your reply...
OK .. this is the easy answer though!!
There should be a technical explanation ... otherwise this option is pointless!!
I want to believe that it is not there just for satisfying audiophile myths!
Awesome Donkey:
Personally, I use the load full file into memory option (without decoding) so the OS/MC isn't locking the source file(s) while it's in use being played. This comes in handy when I have an app scanning and syncing my music library with the backup music libraries (in the past if it saw the file was in use and not accessible while playing, it'd sometimes remove the file from the backups until I stopped playback - granted, I replaced that app with a better app that actually could tell a file was in use, but still).
Manfred:
I have also had several listening sessions, but I could find no differences regarding sound quality.
If you have stored your media data on a NAS, loading the full file into memory for DSD files takes some seconds. So I use load decoded file into memory.
