Upsampling 24-bit files

Thanks to the bug that causes DAC crashes when Linux sources play a mix of 16-44.1 and 24-44.1 into an XMOS USB DAC, I would like to convert a number of 24-44.1FLAC files to 24-88.2 and save them to my hard drive.  I am using JRiver MC24 in Windows 10 for library management. JRiver itself doesn't seem to have this capability, although I would appreciate learning if I am incorrect about this. 

You say that the DA crashes when you play a mix of 16/44.1 and 24/44.1, so why not just convert the 16/44.1 to 24/44.1 (or vice versa) in a batch?  JRiver can do that.

 

What does conversion of 24/44.1 to 24/88.2 have to do with the stated problem?

That's why I wanted software, Kal. It's less work to convert the 24/44 files because I have a million more 16/44's than 24/44's.   Also, having paid for hi-res, I didn't want to downsample to CD quality.  I couldn't figure out a way to change sampling rate in JRiver.

1.  JRMC can convert word length for FLAC files.  Use Advanced Tools/Convert Format

2.  In JRiver under Tools/Audio/DSP/Output Format, you can just set the sampling rate for 44.1 files to 88.2 and it will do it on the fly.  Keeps your original files.

Kal, does the second option affect DLNA streaming playback or just local playback to the device connected to the Windows computer? I was told awhile ago that it was the latter, which is the reason I thought I had to convert the files themselves. 

I cannot say for sure but, depending on your DLNA format options, DSP is possible.

Now, I can say for sure because I just tried it.  DSP is possible with DLNA.
