That said, some DAC designers feel their DAC sounds best at a certain sample rate, in some cases a sample rate that is not an even integer of 44.1kHz. the DSD64 sample rate of 2.8 MHz is 64x that of CD's 44.1 kHz, so the even order multiples of 176.4, or 352.8 kHz are logically the best as they are the cleanest math (they leave no remainder). Conventional wisdom says to re-sample to a perfect even integer of the source sample rate, i.e.

Software based re-sampling and DSD to PCM conversion of a high quality is nearly imperceptible. I'm not a Roon user and so I don't know what Roon uses for re-sampling however it is likely something very high quality such as SoX, which is what Audirvana+ uses. This is an interesting topic and probably one that has no single "right" answer, it can depend on a number of variables including:ġ) the actual playback software in use (Roon in this case)Ģ) the DAC in use and whether or not it sounds "better" to any one set of ears at a particular native sample rateģ) whether the DAC does any kind of native non-defeatable hardware based re-sampling Fragile is one of my favorite multi-channel SACD's. Many pre-exaSound experiments into multi-channel playback that I'd prefer to forget :-)

ISO files years ago but never could get it to work.ġ0. I followed a few theories about Oppo playing from. Using an Oppo 105D to playback DSD audio in the theater - also worked great, but I had to convert everything to DSF. I would have stuck with this if Fiio hadn't released the Pentaconn option for the Q5.ĩ. Also worked great - with the occasional need to power cycle the DAC to get Windows to recognize it. Using an iFi iDSD Nano Black Label USB DAC at my desk. But the micro-USB jack on the first one stopped working after a few weeks, and ultimately I really wanted to standardize on Pentaconn balanced audio.Ĩ. Using a SMSL iDEA USB DAC at my desk - Worked great for both DSD and gaming, especially for the $85 cost.

The Sony ASIO driver can be a bit flakey though, and even when it works it has too much latency (about 600ms) for gaming use.ħ. Using the NW-WM1a as a USB DAC at my desk - Works pretty well for DSD. In reality, it won't play any ISO with DST compression and it was more work to go through all my ISOs and figure out where DST was used or not than it was to just convert everything to DSF.Ħ. In theory, this player is ideal because it can play straight from ISO files without conversion to DSF.

Fiio X7 Mark II portable audio player with the AM3B amp module for Pentaconn support - Loved that it could use two MicroSD cards. Sony NW-ZX2 portable audio player - worked well for its time. Many thanks to Nyal Mellor from Acoustic Frontiers for turning me on to exaSound after years of working to get a great multi-channel SACD playback solution and for the acoustic optimization of this room.Ĥ. I put theater in quotes because this room was primarily designed for multi-channel SACD listening with movies being the second priority.

(This is the only "expensive" DAC I own, everything else is less than $500.) The exaSound has 8 channel output via Mini-XLR balanced audio jacks, which goes to two Anthem P5 amps and a 5.2 Paradigm speaker setup. In my "theater" - I use JRiver on my music server, playing direct from ISO files out to an exaSound e38 multi-channel USB DAC.

I found this is the best solution for both listening to DSD music (great ASIO driver and DSD support) and PC gaming (low latency) with Pentaconn-cabled IEMs.ģ. At my desk - I use JRiver on my desktop PC as a "client" to play from the ISO files stored on my JRiver "server", out to a Fiio Q5 USB DAC with the FiiO AM3B (Pentaconn 4.4mm) amp module and my JHAudio IEMs. I just started testing the TraX SACD Extractor from Bytewizard.Ģ. I haven't tried JRiver for this task since 2016, it's possible they've fixed it by now. I originally tried using JRiver to convert from ISO to DSFs but it was an ugly mess.

I use the sacd_extract command line to convert SACD ISO's to DSF for playback on the Sony. A key feature for me is the built-in 4.4mm Pentaconn balanced audio jack - I've converted my IEMs to Pentaconn with Moon Audio Dragon cables. I've tried other portable players (see below), but I love the sound, UI, solidity, stability, and battery life of the 'WM1A. On the go - I currently use a Sony NW-WM1A portable audio player (with JHAudio IEMs). Almost all of my DSD audio is from ripped SACD, stored in ISO format.
