I ask because I've done option #1 with both no SoX and with SoX and they both yield 44.1 files so it seems like SoX is redundant in this case.or probably not even being used?īasically is SoX better than the SACD input conversion.I've read that as long as the sample rate for DSD64 is a multiple of 44.1 then it should be good to go so I was planning on using option number one. Video playback programs like VLC, or JRiver or XBMC give you the option of decoding these files on the PC, or passing through untouched to be decoded by some downstream device.

That is a subject for another thread.but it's simply another tool that also creates a large flac file but uses the Arcsoft decoder to grab the full 24/96 or even 24/192 5.1 content. This is something we've always done when playing back DVD rips with Dolby AC3 or DTS audio. SACD input settings PCM & 88.2 (or 176 for that matter) and then foobar2000 convert->wav (auto), no dither and SoX resample to 44.1. BTW, if you want multichannel flac AND the disc is in DTS HD MA then DVDAE will not get the highest sample rate, it defaults to the DTS core. SACD input settings PCM & 44.1 and then use the foobar2000 convert function using wav (auto) and no dither Using foobar2000 and the SACD input component which is the more accurate conversion (or better math) in your opinion: Make sure to check "don't reset DSP between tracks…" if converting from a tracks view, otherwise resampling could be not gapless. You can also specify if you want the surround or stereo tracklist. Make sure you put your plugin settings to get rid of short tracks which are just 1 or 2 second clips for menus.

All other settings can be left as defaults. I use Foobar2000 with the DVD-Audio plugin and downloaded an ISO file of the album, load it in the Foobar music player and convert the files to Flac. That said, for all practical purposes, converting DSD to FLAC in foobar2000 while resampling with SoX resampler to 44100Hz should produce completely fine results, as long as there's no clipping.
