RE: Upsampling everything to DSD SACD

Posted by zacster on November 18, 2020 at 05:49:19:
I've been dabbling with upsampling to DSD on the fly using Audirvana on my iMac. It can do up to DSD256 without issue, I've tried 512 but it couldn't keep up.

It does make any lower res recordings sound better to my ears as my DAC has native DSD conversion. Much smoother on CD and even on 24/44 or 24/48. I've even left it on for 24/96 but at that rate I didn't think it was better. It wasn't objectionable either. The only issue is that it won't switch the conversion on the fly based on the bit rate of the source. I'd have to get up from the couch...
