Hi
I know, how to apply the DSP-options, but still, in my case, there are some questions.
I'd rather not apply resampling, but whenever I switch between different bitrate/bitdepth recordings (ranging from 22.5KHz Audiobooks to 96k/24bit HiRes-files), I have to put MC into stop-mode by deliberately clicking the stop-button, and then play the next album/file. It seems, that my soundcard needs some sort of "stop" trigger, so that it can adjust to the new bitrate/bitdepth. Unfortunately, it also does not support bitrates of 22.5K (my audiobooks). So the only solution to play back all files without manually intervening is to choose resampling to 96k/24bit to not degrade the quality of the 94/24-files on my computer.
So my questions are as follows:
If I set DSP to resample to 96k/24 bit/stereo:
- is a 96k/24bit-file also "resampled" by the DSP or does it
pass the DSP "untouched" (remember: I cannot choose the option "use sourcedepth" due to my soundcards behaviour)?
- In case a 96k/24bit file is "touched": in what way?
- how are 16 bit-recordings resampled to 24 bit - are they just "shifted" to the range 9 - 24 bit or are they evenly "distributed" to the range from 1 - 24 bit?
Thanks for answering the questions!
