I had something similar for DFF, but I can't easily google it now and I'm pretty sure I was not supposed to have it back then (it was from some insecure FTP server).
Some years ago, I wanted to write a simple converter between DSF, DFF and DoP FLAC as all three should carry exactly the same unmodified DSD bits and be mutually compatible, but I never really found the time to do it.
Both formats store the same "raw" DSD bits, just in a slightly different structure (and DSDIFF has the option for compression that I don't think anybody supports). Thanks again for the CODEC, I've now avoided the need to convert any of my DSF files, but will still be using Foobar to do the tagging of the DSF files I think as it looks to be the best option for managing DSF tags.Click to expand.Sorry, but according to my memory (and the "research" I did a few years ago), this is just not true.
Incidentally one of the reasons I have the Perreaux DP32 above is specifically because it has an analogue stage volume control. I think the volume control makes a better solution for the sound level than normalising the file - as that keeps the data bit perfect (which the LMS needs anyway to do the PCM thing for non-DSD DACs). I've been ripping my SACDs to dsf and then converted a file (song) to flac via Foobar2000, just to see how easy it would be (it was simple and fast.) I noticed (as been mentioned) that the file size. Once I did that realised that all the DSD titles I had were at similar loudness levels. bmoura said: I convert the ISOs to DSD 64 Stereo and DSD 64 Surround Sound. I have since got my Vortexbox (LMS) and Perreaux DP32 playing DSF files using the LMS PlayDSD function that pushes out a bit-perfect DSF file as a PCM stream that shows up as 176.4kHz sample rate to my non-DSD capable DAC in the Perreaux (and will stream DSF natively to DSD enabled DACs). Thanks for the response Spoon - yep agree definitely not interested in any loudness race and associated compression, etc. It is how DSD is mastered, there is not a loudness race like on CDs, it is how it should be. Is this first converting to 96 kHz and then resampling to 88.2 KHz, which would be bad as two approximating conversions are occurring, in which case I should stick to the 96KHz for now? Do realize that converting to flac will provide a 6 -8 dB drop in SPL versus playing the dsf/dsd files, unless you use the +6dB setting in Foobar. I did manage to get an 88.2 KHz file by setting your DSD to FLAC convertor to keep the same sample rate and channels but then added the "resample" filter set at 88.2 KHz Is it possible for you to add an 88.2 KHz field for the primary conversion, please? Thirdly, DSD is best converted to 88.2 KHz (rather than 96 KHz) as the native SACD DSD rate of 2.8224MHz is an exact 32x multiple of 88.2 KHz so the conversion involves a more accurate and simple "decimation" rather than resampling as such, which is needed for 96 KHz. Secondly, it seems to have correctly converted a 5.1 DSF to FLAC. I installed this today from the link at the top of the thread but it still says version 1 - is this the newest version, please?
