If you are using asio output devices, that setting will be disabled. > Choose 32 bit, the maximum allowed by your DAC.

For my case the output device should be foo_dsd_asio and in the File/Preferences/Output/Asio menu, your dac's asio driver should be selected as the output device and "Asio Native" should be selected in the drop-down list as the DSD Playback Method.ĭon't use DS (Direct sound) they are managed by the operating system of your computer. > I think you have chosen the right device, unless you are planning to use dsd transcoder to unwrap the DoP output by the sacd decoder and send native dsd to your dac.įor my case I wasn't able to make the dsd transcoder work so I'm using an older version (0.8.4) of the sacd decoder with its asio proxy. > I think dsdiff is redundant as sacd decoder can play dff files as well. But I think you'd better use the maximum setting your DAC can handle > I don't know exactly where in foobar did you see that setting.

Foobar2000 dsd how to#
If I don't know the answer to something, I know how to find it online. This is especially frustrating because I have a background working in both tech and audio. Last question: under that same SACD section, there's another option labeled "DSD processor" with the options "DSD processor". What do each of these do, and what's the best one? Online I found instructions saying to choose "DSD", but does that convert everything to DSD? Does PCM+DSD allow for both codecs to be transmitted without any kind of conversion between the two? The choices are "PCM", "DSD", and "PCM+DSD". Under preferences>tools>SACD, there's an option labeled "output mode".
Under preferences>tools, there's a section called "DSD processor" with a box labeled "Use DSD Processor" that I can select. Will that make Foobar automatically upconvert anything that's not already 32-bit, and if so does that affect sound quality? Also, does this affect DSD files? Under preferences>playback>output, I have to choose between 8, 16, 24, and 32-bit for output data format. What do all those settings mean, and do I have it in the right one? I don't want to click through them all and test because last time I tried to, it screwed with playback and I started getting error messages, no matter output I chose after. I also have the choices of "ASIO: DSD Transcoder (DoP/Native)", "ASIO: Sony Audio Driver", "DS: Primary Audio Driver", and "DS: CAS-1 (Sony Audio)". Under preferences>playback>output, I have my output device set to "DSD: ASIO : Sony Audio Driver". Are any of those redundant/unnecessary? I've tried playing around but can't figure it out. I have ASIO support, DSD Processor, DSDIFF Decoder, and Super Audio CD Decoder installed into Foobar. I downloaded and installed a few Foobar components to support DSD playback. Will I affect anything by changing it to 192khz? In Foobar, the default maximum sample rate is 88.2khz.
Is that the right setting to be in? When I run foobar, will it automatically change the output based on the track, or is everything going to get converted to 32/192?
Foobar2000 dsd pro#
In Windows, I have the USB audio output of my Surface Pro set to 32-bit/192khz. Here's a list of issues I've tried to research on my own but can't find answers to: Unfortunately the CAS-1 doesn't support DSD playback beyond 2.8Mhz, so my DSD 128 files can't be played. I have a couple 32-bit WAV files too, but they're 48khz. Right now the best files I have are DSD 64/128 and WAV 24-bit/192khz. It supports DSD, FLAC, and PCM up to 32-bit/192khz. I have a Sony CAS-1 DAC/amp, which is powering a pair of LS50's. I'm trying to set up playback of hi-res files using Foobar2000, but I'm having a really hard time figuring out what all the settings mean, and what options to choose.
