Does a SACD Download need to be converted to a DSD File with dBpoweramp to play on the Sony WM1AM2?
Sometimes the CODEC on the download page reads FLAC(most of the time), but sometimes it says DSD64 & other times DSD64 & FLAC. Do I need to handle these files any differently to play them in DSD format on my WM1AM2?
After some of my SACD downloads were finished downloading, they fell into 3 categories.
1) FLAC files which is PCM & not DSD.
2)Hybrid- (SACD CD Layer)( flac files)/ (SACD DSD layer) DSF Files
3) Just DSF files
Which file types have the best sound quality?
From what I understand it will be scenario 2 or 3 which are DSD files & hybrid DSD files but not scenario 1 which is PCM.
Using dBpoweramp, am I converting scenario 2&3 to DSD files?
If so, in scenario 2 am I also converting the flac files to DSD?
I am a bit confused as you can tell but believe there is an easy answer to all of this. I really appreciate any input I can get on this topic.
I'm new to SACD & DSD...
Thank You for the help.
