How do you convert down to 24/192?  I use foobar and it only allows me to set 44/88/176 for playback.

My DX100 has been costing me more $$$. I've re-lit that fire in buying SACD's, ripping & converting them "down" to 24/192. Now I really wish iBasso will tweak the OS to accept DSD since the ES9018 is already capable.

$38 very, very well spent I believe.

I'm on a Mac. I use Korg's AudioGate mainly for converting. I also have Audirvana Plus which allows me up to 352.8kHz but I've never tried. I use A+ only for listening.

What do you mean by converting down ?
Surely not even sacd is higher than 24/192 to start with.

It's 1-bit 2.8224Mhz :-

Oh yes, I forgot that sacd is DSD and not PCM. My bad

Does this app allow you to mount SACD isos?

No I'm afraid it's only for converting different sound formats. Mounting SACD isos is a completely different task and quite frankly I've never had to do that.

On the desktop/PC Mac at least, Audirvana+ can mount an ISO file (which is great, cos I don't have to extract individual DFF files). I don't know about Windows DSD software.

As for portables, I think even the Korg MR2 can't mount a DSD ISO file. It'll have to be individual DFF or DSF tracks.

Edit: apologies if it wasn't clear but I thought I just wanted to illustrate that this isn't a DX100 player app problem not being able to mount SACD ISO files.

Here is my cheap self made DX100 bubble wrap case -

One more so you can make one haha -

How does it affect the sound?

 

[bmiamihk]

I store the Dx100 inside and throw it into my backpack but when in use its in my pocket or hand.

Ya, I was just kidding.

Though I bet if you replace the bubble wrap with foil it will brighten the treble up a bit ...
