Good Morning, when playing SACD files, the subwoofer outputs remain silent. If I understand correctly, this is due to the design. Since I have semi-active speakers, I need the subwoofer outputs. Separate subwoofer outputs were one of the reasons I chose the A10. Is there a way to convert the files to PCM "on the fly" during playback? Thank you.
Good morning, I too have lost my subwoofer after the most recent update. Is it recommended to do a reset?
Hello Karl, my apologies. I didn't catch that your subwoofer issue was only when playing SACD files. No, my subwoofer issue occurs when simply streaming. All I did was update my DMP A-10 to 1.5.10.
Are you sure? (not doubting you, just looks weird to me...) Anyway, then I'd suggest you CONVERT your DSDs to linear PCM with a tool of your choice (maybe foobar2000 can do it, I use ffmpeg under Linux, there are tens of tools for that...) Usually s DSD gets converted to PCM at 384kHz, but probably you can chose 764kHz. Nevermind, though... 384 is s high enough a sample rate. The resulting files will also be smaller, so you get two pigeons with a stone...
Also consider that you cannot apply any RC or EQ to DSDs, as the stream itself, due to its architecture, cannot provide frequency information straight away. (DSD was a clever idea to fight copying, which it did, in the times... nothing special about sound quality...)
