DSF to FLAC conversion issue

--- Quote from: ArtK on February 27, 2024, 02:09:19 pm ---I created the dsf files by ripping SACD's using a program called iso2dsd.
If I hover over the file in JRiver/32, I see:
5644Kbps, 1bit, DSD64 (1x).
I can play the dsf file on my Oppo but not the converted flac file.
I play the files on my Oppo via an external hard drive connected thru the front USB connection on the Oppo.
How do I determine the DNLA settings so I can let you know?
thanks for your help,
Art
p.s. sorry for my late reply.  I was away visiting a sick relative.

Ok, you aren't using DLNA then.
So if you look at one of the files converted from dsf to flac in MC what are the Sample Rate and Bit Depth of it?
If you look at the tags (right-click on the file and do Tags) is the cover art image embedded in the tag (if so it will say: Inside file) and if it is what are the dimensions of the image?

ArtK:
There is no image associated with the converted flac (from dsf) file.
It says bitrate is 6338.
On another converted flac file, the information is:
5105kbps, 24 bit, 352.8khz

I converted Bob Dylan's Blowin In The Wind (from SACD)
the dsf file 5644 bitrate, 2 channels, 352.8 to 192khz with SSRC
the converted flac is: 6949 bitrate, 24 bit, 2 channels, 352.8KHz
  maybe the 352.8kHz is too high.

Yeah, it's likely the sample rate is too high for the Oppo in a flac file at any rate. It looks like 192k might be maximum. I'd convert them to 176k. Use SoX for the conversion, it's higher quality.

ArtK:
Thanks.  I'll try 176k again. 
What is SoX?

JimH:
Google JRiver sox.
