[How-To] Set up JRiver Media Center 26 in Debian/Ubuntu/Linux Mint

<< < (7/7)

Awesome Donkey:
PCM to DSD conversions are one of the most resource intensive operations Media Center can do, especially multichannel. If going beyond DSD64 causes issues with glitches and whatnot, that means the PC you're running Media Center on isn't powerful enough to handle the on-the-fly PCM to DSD conversion.

kurosawa:
In Windows 10 there is no problem with upsampling beyond DSD64.
But anyway: "
It's one of these (silly) HiFi Myths ... Upsampling audio doesn't make the quality better. The quality is like it is.

In one of the postings here this has been clarified / confirmed also by RME (Matthias Carstens).

It's only marketing to sell you hard- or software on top that you do not require.

It only makes the files longer and creates a bit more system load because more data need to be processed
and send across USB by double / quad sample rates (88.2 - 192 kHz).

Upsampling makes only sense in situations where devices do not support a certain sample rate
which you use in your current project / setup, so this is more related to studio work.

SRC is one of the features, which is typically only required in studios, that had to be "sacrificed"
to be able to offer the ADI-2 DAC for under €1000.

"
So no upsampling for me. If I want DSD256, then I will have to rip it from vinyl or buy it online (Nativedsd, ...)

Tested MC26 on Linux Mint 20 Ulyana and... it works fine. :)
