DSP Sample rate in MC 19
« on: January 17, 2014, 11:19:46 am »

Thinking about up grading to MC 19. However, the DSP stops play every time it encounters a sample rate higher than 48khz and states that "Playback could not be started using the format 64khz 24bit 2ch." Offers a solution: "This format would work: 48khz 24bit 2ch", Asks " Would you like to have your DSP Studio > Output Format settings changed automatically? and gives 2 options. "Change Settings & Continue Playback" or "Cancel Playback".
When you choose to "Change Settings ..... " it plays the cut, but when it encounters the next cut with that format it stops play and  asks the same thing again. 
So, 2 questions.
1) Why doesn't it allow the change of output sample rates? (like MC 17 does).
2) How do I fix this?

Thanks

1) It should.  Once you select "Change Settings & Continue Playback," it should changes the sample rate settings, and they should stay that way.  Are you sure that the next time you get the pop-up, it's not a different unsupported Sample Rate?

2) The key is to make sure the sample rates are set correctly in the first place.  Tools -> Options -> Audio -> DSP & output format -> Sample rate table.  Change the Output for any Sample Rate Input that your Sound Card/DAC does not support to one that it does.

Native Sample Rate for Redbook CDs is 44.1kHz.  There are respected engineers and audiophiles on both sides of the oversampling argument (Google, start reading, and I guarantee your head will start hurting in about 30-minutes).  At the end of the day though, what matters is what you like to hear (or what you think you hear).  Since MC can handle 44.1kHz and DSD128 in DoP as well as everything in between, I recommend you start out at the native Sample Rate, then mess around with DSP Output till you find what you like best for your ears.
