Hi all. I have some 24/88 FLAC files that I'd like to play on my HifiMan HM-801.
My HM-801 is being a jerk and won't play them. I don't know if this is by design or a bug in the firmware. I believe I have the latest firmware. I thought that I had read the 801 would upsample auto-magically, but I could be wrong. Either way, this is more about the process not the player:
It seemed like upsampling might be better than downsampling so I'm throwing my 24/88 FLACs at dbPoweramp, converting them to 24/96 WAV files. Next I convert those WAV files back to FLAC and, like magic, they play on the HM-801.
Possible Questions:
1. Is this the best overall approach?
2. Ideally, I would use Mac OS software to do this, but my app of choice has a bug in it where all 24 bit files end up 16 bit (Max is the app). Is there other Mac OS software available?
3. Should I downsample instead?
That's about it.
Any comments would be appreciated.
