The result was zero! All converters that I found (a dozen of free and paid) couldn’t eliminate the click between the tracks! You know that a DSD file is simply ineditable on home laptops, so I started to look for a proper converter on the web. Every time the track ended I clearly heard the click between the tracks, and the louder was the ending the louder and more unpleasant was the click. I was quite happy until I faced the problem with the gapless playback of the music.
The problem with space was minor however the resulting DSD file is approximately 5 times bigger than the original 48k24 AIFF, I simply added some “DSD air” to the music information and kept it on the USB flash drive. It was clear at that moment that my DAC likes to eat DSD128 better than any other formats and that all my hi-res library needs to be converted into DSD128. I made comparisons between a 2019 recorded track (Steve Hackett’s Fallen Walls and Pedestals) encoded in PCM 48k24 (all my hi-res files are AIFFs 48k24) and DSD128, and clearly heard a better sound in DSD version! I also encoded and compared the track in question in DCD64, PCM 44.1k24 (original), PCM 88.2k24, PCM 176.4k24, and understood that DSD64 sounds poorer, and all others PCMs sound just like the first PCM ordinary and plainly.
Being an owner of a net player with the CS4398 DAC onboard (Marantz NA8005), which is a sigma-delta DAC, I realized and clearly heard that this DAC plays 1bit data (DSD) better than multibit ones (PCM). * Headphone DSP makes listening more natural and comfortable.I have recently dug up the PCM vs DSD problem for my personal thorough understanding, for there are a lot of articles, points of view and explanations that can be found on the web. * Audiophile - Support for high end USB DAC's with WASAPI * Audiophile - Added ability to play files from memory instead of disk * Audiophile - WASAPI exclusive output using high-end USB DACs * Native support of DirectShow DSP filters The most powerful media database available an essential tool for large collections.
