DSD sample rate displayed in status window
« on: August 17, 2014, 09:54:20 am »

Hi,

I'm trying to understand if MC resamples my DSD files (and do any kind of PCM conversion) or if it is simply a display issue.


When I play DSD files in MC, the status window indicates a sample rate of 352.8 kHz. 

However, as shown in the attached picture, the DSP window indicates the actual [sample rate] of the file as the output (2.8 MHz).
Also, my DAC (iFi Micro iDSD) indicates that it actually receives a DSD stream.

Could it be a simple display issue in the status window ?

The code I use in the status window is the following:
[Elapsed Time] // [Total Time] // [Remaining Time], [File Type], [Bit Depth] bit // Replace([Sample Rate],/,,.) kHz, [Channels] channels, mid(/ / / / , length([Bitrate]))[Bitrate (Labeled)], DRFormatNumber([Dynamic Range (DR)],0)


Thanks !

Looks like a display issue if you are bitstreaming.

That's the internal format we use to store the DSD in the buffer (since storing 1 bit at a time would be insanely inefficient, its packed into bigger chunks), when bitstreaming some internal technical details leak through the cracks, there is nothing wrong with playback.
