orgel Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Seems like a bargain price for BitPerfect + DSDMaster, if you're in the market for those two items. --David Listening Room: Mac mini (Roon Core) > iMac (HQP) > exaSound PlayPoint (as NAA) > exaSound e32 > W4S STP-SE > Benchmark AHB2 > Wilson Sophia Series 2 (Details) Office: Mac Pro > AudioQuest DragonFly Red > JBL LSR305 Mobile: iPhone 6S > AudioQuest DragonFly Black > JH Audio JH5 Link to comment

Paul R Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Sounds very intriguing... I wonder if it is available on the App Store, or just though LH? -Paul Anyone who considers protocol unimportant has never dealt with a cat DAC. Robert A. Heinlein Link to comment
orgel Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I wonder if it is available on the App Store, or just though LH? Just through LH, I think. The two separate apps are available on the App Store, but they will set you back additional dollars. --David Listening Room: Mac mini (Roon Core) > iMac (HQP) > exaSound PlayPoint (as NAA) > exaSound e32 > W4S STP-SE > Benchmark AHB2 > Wilson Sophia Series 2 (Details) Office: Mac Pro > AudioQuest DragonFly Red > JBL LSR305 Mobile: iPhone 6S > AudioQuest DragonFly Black > JH Audio JH5 Link to comment
Bob Stern Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Seems like a bargain price for BitPerfect + DSDMaster, if you're in the market for those two items. Geek Perfect includes only a crippled version of DSD Master. Geek Perfect can play DSD files natively on a DSD-capable DAC, but otherwise it converts DSD to Redbook PCM. (Geek Perfect user guide, page 18, first paragraph.) For owners of non-DSD-capable DACs, to convert DSD to higher sample rate PCM you need "DSD Master" (which I recommend as sounding better than the Korg Audiogate DSD-to-PCM conversion software).

orgel Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Thanks for the correction, Bob. Serves me right for trusting what I read on the LH page without investigating further. Also a good conversion tip. I've asked these guys if they could add the capability to convert DSFs (rather than being limited to extraction/conversion from DSD iso's), but no response yet. --David Listening Room: Mac mini (Roon Core) > iMac (HQP) > exaSound PlayPoint (as NAA) > exaSound e32 > W4S STP-SE > Benchmark AHB2 > Wilson Sophia Series 2 (Details) Office: Mac Pro > AudioQuest DragonFly Red > JBL LSR305 Mobile: iPhone 6S > AudioQuest DragonFly Black > JH Audio JH5 Link to comment
