#AUI CONVERTER 48X44 REVIEW PRO#
Not only that, quite a bit of pro DAW software has built in resampling which is actually quite pitiful. However it is not done well at all times. Now done well downsampling is not a problem. Getting that and resampling to suit my needs is what I do with such offerings. In this case the cost for DXD isn't all that much higher. A general principle is I want to hear it in the native format, and the native format it was mastered in. Though DXD is getting close making me disagree. You can choose from the following formats: When you compare different sample rates always start with the lowest resolution.ĭuring listening don't focus too much, hearing is as individual as taste but hearing is also something which can be acquired, like the taste of good wine. We used the AUL ConverteR 48x44 for the conversion to DSD and Wavelab for the conversion to the other PCM formats and FLAC. It’s taken from the album 'Carmen Sings The Blues'.Īll the different formats have the same source file, DXD 352kHz (Studio Master). The song is called 'A Fool For You' and is performed by Carmen Gomes Inc. Here on this page is a list containing 2 minutes of a song in 11 different formats. Some people find the convenience of FLAC files more important.
