DFF & DSF Support (AKA DSD, Super Audio CD file format)

<< < (3/5) > >>

JimH:
How is DSP set in MC?

Matt:
First, make sure other audio plays like from an MP3, WAV, etc.

Then try setting the Sample Rate in DSP Studio > Output Format to 44.1 or 48 and test DSD.  Does that work?

mantis07:
It plays fine with the DSP set to default in MC - ie: no resampling or bit depth change or to 24/192 etc.  What I'd is to be able to play it via the DNLA server on my PS Audio PWD with does 32/192

thanks

chrisr:
This is great.  Thanks for adding DSD playback. 

Do you convert to PCM, or is the DSD stream left unaltered and bit-perfect?

Also, will you support DSD128 in addition to DSD64?

Thanks again.  Happy user for many years - now even happier.

Yes.  DSD is converted to high sample rate PCM.  An 8:1 sample rate conversion is performed, and the bit-depth is increased from 1-bit to 64-bit.

So the total size is 8 times as large when it's PCM, meaning the transform is effectively lossless.
