Title: DSP Studio Quality
Post by: boliver on July 19, 2004, 10:42:12 pm

Could any of the J River engineers describe the quality of the DSP Studio in Media Jukebox/ Media Center?

I think many of us are using this software in high fidelity systems and I'm worried about using DSP technology.  For instance, does this DSP upsample to a larger word length before doing the modifications and then does it use dithering when it brings it back down to the original word legnth(usually 16 bits)? i.e. is this a high quality DSP or a low/medium quality one?

Are there any other options for straight equalization of the music within Media Jukebox?

... MC uses 32-bits for all internal audio handling.  The only exception is Winamp 2 DSP plugin support, since they normally only support 16-bit streams.

I am interested about this too. In my experience MC's signal prosessing sounds excellent. I don't know if MJ is different. I may start a new topic about output formats in the MC forum.
