- DSD vs PCM: can you hear the difference? - Steve Hoffman Music Forums
It converts DSD into a multibit format and performs some operations on the stream -- but it remains in the DSD sample rate domain Also very important, being a fully balanced design it maintains a very high SNR -- I have heard it claimed that DSD needs 120 dB of dynamic range, which automatically puts it outside the performance of most SACD
- Mconnect - What are the differences between the various apps? Any DSD . . .
DSD sounds much better than PCM, at least through my current DAC I was able to get Foobar2000 to work, but with the same results as Mconnect Lite (i e no apparent DSD support; folders with DSF or ISO files but with no other types of audio files don't show up)
- Just How Good Is DSD, Is It The Highest Fidelity Possible, Here is One . . .
DSD only makes sense if recording, mixing and mastering was done in analogue and only converted through DSD ADC at the very last step before distribution Even then it should be at least DSD128 If recording was done in PCM, then there is no value from converting to DSD at all
- Can You Play DSD Files from Synology NAS using Sony BD Player?
To enable high quality output or DSD over PCM output: Go to Settings > Advanced Once you have ticked Enable high quality output for USB speakers, you can then tick Enable DSD over PCM (DoP) output for USB speakers Click OK Note: Only 2-channel DSD64 and DSD128 files are supported if you enable DSD over PCM (DoP) output for USB speakers
- DSD with Foobar 2000 - Steve Hoffman Music Forums
Explain please Are you talking about what the DSD files look like in spectral analysis software? If so they are probably upsampled PCM Note that the only pure DSD recordings - by that I mean recorded, mixed, mastered, etc in DSD with no PCM are going to be classical recordings and mainly of solo classical instruments
- DSD over PCM Vs fake I²S to DAC. - Steve Hoffman Music Forums
With DSD audio data, It can also convert It to DSD over PCM to be output via an S PDIF coaxial output This doesn't mean that It convertís DSD to PCM, It "encapsulates" DSD on PCM frames, and when this kind of digital Signal is detected by an DSD over PCM DAC, It reverts the process and recovers the original DSD data Stream
- How do you convert DSD files to Lossless ALAC or FLAC?
You can't convert from DSD to PCM and back to DSD and end up with the same DSD file after that round trip conversion It is not a lossless process You will lose bits And you won't be able to convert back to the original source file So don't convert your DSD files to PCM then delete the original DSD files
- DSD Over PCM (DoP) Idiots guide - Steve Hoffman Music Forums
The purest common DSD recordings come from modern DSD masters which are recorded in 5-bit to 8-bit Wide-DSD, which is in fact a 5-bit to 8-bit parallel Delta-Sigma encoding As you can see from the above flow chart, most commercially available DSD recordings have to be converted back and forth to a PCM format in order to do post-production
