dvdaudioextractor is the one I use as well... If you like Neil Young, he's been releasing disc's with 24/96 dvd video tracks lately. Of course the original source material for these 35 year old concerts wasn't always state of the art, even then! -- DCtoDaylight Audiophile wish list: Zero Distortion, Infinite Signal to Noise Ratio, and a Bandwidth from DC to Daylight DCtoDaylight's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7284 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68092 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

Worth looking out for DAD 24 bit discs such as the one below. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Last-True-Believers-DVD-AUDIO/dp/B5N8LD/ref=cm_cr_dp_orig_subj Despite Amazon's description of it as DVD audio it isn't encoded as mlp. It can be ripped with DVD audio extractor.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Questions re 24 bit audio
I've found a fair number of music/concert dvd's have a 24/48 PCM stereo soundtrack, which can be ripped fairly easily. So that's one source of higher res content. SPDIF is a format that's evolved over the years, but just about any current product will pass 24/48 without problem. Better hardware will to 24/96, and the best will do 24/192 but that's pretty rare in my experience. The Duet is hardware limited to 24/48, so you'll always be down-sampled to that limit. -- DCtoDaylight Audiophile wish list: Zero Distortion, Infinite Signal to Noise Ratio, and a Bandwidth from DC to Daylight DCtoDaylight's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7284 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68092 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Questions re 24 bit audio
Hello- I have recently found how to decode HDCD into 24 bit FLACs using dBpoweramp, and they sound very good, much better than the 16-bit, non decoded FLACs of the same CDs. Close to my SACDs, and I am done with that format, for reasons not worth getting into here. Based on this, I naturally want to get more 24-bit material. 96kHz is fine too, but 24 bits (20 really, for HDCD) made enough of a difference that 44.1/48/96 are all OK to me. Which leads to a few questions; any help appreciated: 1. Where can I get more 24 bit material? HDCDs, obviously. HDTracks downloads at 24/96, which I believe the Duet will downsample to 48 kHz using Sox, which would be transparent to me. Ripping DVD-A to FLAC is presumably the same in that regard. Are there other sources, especially for rock & things not classical? I am confused by the various DVD standards, and do not want 5.1 surround. 2. SPDIF appears to be designed for 20 bit transmission, w/a non-standard 24 bit implementation (cf wikipedia). Should I care about this, or do all decent high end DACs (I run an external 24 bit DAC) accept some 24 bit "non-standard (as in not IEC)" standard here, and so it'll work fine? HDCD is only 20 bit anyway, so if the 4 LSB are being cut off I wouldn't know, whereas for real 24 bit material I presumably would. 3. If I got 24/192 material in FLAC, will the Duet downsample THAT to 48 kHz? Or will I have to find some other way to get that to my DAC? Any help appreciated, & thanks! -- lork lork's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17438 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68092 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
