In Reply to: Does SBM work at higher bitrates? posted by Eric LeRouge on October 22, 2003 at 01:17:23:
Hi Eric,I'm not familiar with the inner workings of the Sony SBM Direct process to know if it could support PCM rates outside of direct integer relationships. The implemtation of it in the Sonoma workstation seems to be specifically for DSD to Redbook conversion, which it does very nicely!
The PCM output of the Meitner DSD AD is a realtime downsample of the DSD AD conversion, via the Sony 'E-Chip' to 24 or 16 bit at 44k1. I use this for a backup to the DSD recording chain and it sounds great, for what it is.
The Philips 'Audio Format Converter' software definitely converts DSD to *any* of the standard PCM sampling rates/wordlengths. A DSD to 24/96 conversion is done by multiplying the DSD rate x5 and then dividing by 147 to reach 96K.
This tool can also convert PCM to DSD (from any rate/wordlength) as well.
I agree with you about 'mastering once' and delivering on multiple formats - makes a lot of sense to me (and it's how I like to work.)
