In Reply to: RE: DSD64 Download plays in WM11 with DSD Plugin posted by Michael Bishop on March 20, 2008 at 18:24:44
I just used a download manager; I don't get chareged on connnection time or download size.
Do you know what software is needed to open the DXD files? I can't unzip it because the PC says it does not recognise the format.
Follow Ups:
You can open the DXD files in iZotope RX. If you check them on the spectrum analyzer you can see the rising noise at about 50kHz. DAD sustains the use of this high sampling rate because it allows the use of gentler anti-aliasing filters which will induce less ringing in the AD process, thus better impulse response.Probably the best way of recording would be in DSD128 which wouldn't require any filtering and then convert to PCM in the DAW with Weiss Saracon or something like that and choose your filters.

Conceptually a DXD file is 32bit floating point samples at 8fs per channel block interleaved. You can download their manual from their site (the Document Download section) Chapter 16 of the Pyramix Virtual Studio 6.0 User's Manual talks about file formats...
But on the other hand when I downloaded the DXD files from 2l I found that they had a .wav extension and that I could load and play them with Adobe Audition... So it appears that any software prepared for the data at a high enough rate can understand the DXD downloads from http://www.2l.no/hires/index.html
FWIW I can also play the DSD files with the plugin mentioned...
(Edited here: Oops, I should have read your message more carefully, the file is a simple .zip file (at least my WinZip 11 and WinRar 3.71 both can read them just fine) which contains a .wav file. Perhaps you got a download error. If it helps the MD5 hash of 2L38SACD_tr1_stereo_DXD.zip is 38A56C9E1EBEFFC070911E0C14A39A08.)

Geeeesshh....this is fun....and I don't have the slightest clue what the hell I'm doing. It's like a treasure hunt. I just want to see what I end up with for free.
