Software and website Copyright AlpineSoft, 2023. VinylStudio can, however, import DSD files once recorded. Only their proprietary software can do that. Please note: VinylStudio cannot record DSD from the Sony PS-HX500 turntable on the Mac. You can also convert between these formats if your needs change. VinylStudio records to both DSF and DFF (DSDIFF) files, as well as being able to record DSD as DoP (DSD over PCM) in a range of uncompressed file formats. DSD files generally cannot be played on such devices - instead you will need a DSD-enabled player, such as Foobar 2000 with the SACD plugin installed, or a DSD-capable DAC. Files saved in this way can be played on mobile devices and streaming media players. Tracks generated from DSD recordings can also be saved as PCM files, and VinylStudio's full range of editing features are then available. VinylStudio's 'needle-up' detection feature, which stops recording automatically at the end of the album side, will also work. VinylStudio can monitor your recording while it is in progress and allows you to play it back while you are working on it - when splitting tracks, for example. You should also be aware that (unless yu wave the results as PCM) you can't edit your recordings in any way, although you can split them into tracks and save these as bit-perfect copies. Firstly, you will need a USB ADC which supports DSD recording, such as the ones above. Under Windows, 'DSD native' recording is also supported devices tested include the Korg DS-DAC-10R (DSD supported on Windows only), the RME ADI-2 Pro, Mytek's Brooklyn ADC, the Ayre QA9, Pro-Ject's Debut Carbon RecordMaster HiRes Turntable and Playback Designs' Pinot ADC.ĭSD, it should be said, is not for everyone. With a pair of Seaton Submersive subs crossed over (low pass only) via DBX PA2 drive rack.Recording DSD (Direct Stream Digital) (VinylStudio Pro only)Īs of version 8.6, VinylStudio Pro can record DSD from a suitable ADC, such as the PS Audio NuWave Phono Converter or (with a firmware upgrade) the Ayre QA-9. Given I have two subs that go pretty low (15Hz ish) the bass seems cleaner and better defined (slightly) when I play the rip, expecially at higher volumes even though my turntable is on a wall mounted 3 inch maple shelf sitting on Stillpoints.īTW - the rest of my 2 channel system is TRL Dude Preamp, TRL Samson amps, Green Mountain Audio Continuum 3 speakers But since when I rip vinyl I go from the Phono preamp directly to the A/D there is no potential for acoustic feedback. Since my Lumin A1 does not play DSD128, I have Minimstreamer transcode to 24/384. Includes a full set of sound cleaning filters. VinylStudio is the easiest way to convert your records and tapes to digital format and CD. I have found that my rips at DSD128 are as good and sometimes better than playing the direct vinyl. VinylStudio - the easy way to digitise your records and tapes. I forgot to mention a comparison to direct vinyl. I really love the MQA version of Yello - Toy.It is killer good fun. The ripped vinyl just seemed a little more real and 3-D than the MQA.although I can image MQA being preferred in many cases. The MQA seemed more focused than the high res download.Sort of like someone used a fine focus on a camera lens. In all three of those cases my order of preference was Ripped vinyl, Oscar Petersen - We Get Request 45RPM vs MQA 24/26, vs HD Tracks 24/96 Norah Jones - Come Away with Me LP vs MQA 24/192 vs HD Tracks 24/192īeck - Morning Phase LP vs MQA 24/96 vs HD Tracks 24/92 I have only done this for 3-4 albums so my sample size is small. My streaming front end is a Lumin A-1.So I have had the opportunity to do a little comparison of the same albums that are Ripped DSD128 vs MQA vs High Res Download. My front end is a refurbed Technics SP 10 MkII with Basis Vector arm and Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC through a Tom Tutay tube phono preamp. I have started to rip my vinyl to DSD128 via a Korg DS-DAC10-R.
