I was talking about the methods in which to transcode to a different bitrate. I think you may have misunderstood my question, but are pointing out a fact that JRiver does not transcode to from PCM to DSD? It depends a bit of the filter used but analyzing a DSD to PCM conversion with Musicscope, there isn't much live above 44kHzHi Vincent, If you don't JRiver produces something ridiculous as a 24/352 pcm file and that is a huge one indeed. In the Format Conversion dialog you can invoke DSP studio. If you convert to PCM you need one to get rid of the quantization noise.Īs far as I know this setting is honored when transcoding on the fly or converting DSD to a PCM file. In Tools > Audio > Advanced > Configure input plug in, you can set the filter to be used. However, by upsampling we are presenting high bitrate music with the maximum signal to noise ratio and bandwidth- and that a good thing! Remember bit depth is just how low the noise is from the maximum level and sample rate is the bandwidth, neither one alone or together can tell you if a recording is good or not. Hence, the subjective responses to better sound. There is a part II to this, that Jriver or HQ Player may be more precise and use the computer's ability to do "slow math" (lots of calcs) much more than the DAC can muster. Most DACs go even higher bitrates internally. Also, by doing the upconverting in the PC (Jriver) one can take advantage of the PC's ability to "lighten the load" of the DAC resource limited capacity. My understanding is that most DACs internally up convert from the native bitrate. A lot of people think this does the best PCM->DSD conversion, but it is not as flexible as JRiver.I do the same. I am using JRiver to transcode on the fly, sounds pretty good! I want to try HQPlayer.
