Encode problem from dsd64 MULTICHANEL to Flac in Foobar2000

[radmax]

Hello,

I used an ampli 9.1.2 Pioneer LX78 in DAC mode and i have a problem with Flac 5 or 5.1 channel.
Source : NAS network QNAS
File 1 : PinkFloyd - The Dark side of the moon 6769kb/s 96 Khz,24 bits, 6 canaux, FLAC  PLAY GOOD IN Multichannel
File  2 : Native DSD Music - Skidmore  Transcode from DSD 64 5CH with footbar2000 2.1 and Free encoder 2023-07-05 FLAC v1.4.3 to FLAC 6281 kb/s 96 khz, 24 bit NO ERROR FORMAT BUT DON'T PLAY
DAC : Pionner Lx78

I have also test other format transcode 44khz 16 bit , 24bit, 48khz 16bit 24bit, 88khz 16bit 24bit  NO PLAY

With source PC windows 11 and Footbar2000 in HDMI To the DAC pionner the 2 files play in PCM MULTICHANEL

In pionner manual FLAC 5 or 5.1 in 96khz 24 bit are compatible.

Is it a transcode problem? Do you know other plug in transcode DSD to FLAC

Foobar2000 can transcode DSD to FLAC using https://sourceforge.net/projects/sacddecoder/

DSDTranscoderInstall-1.2.0  transcode from Dsf to Dff or WAV but not FLAC

You need to configure foo_input_sacd for PCM playback, that's all.

It decodes DSD file formats and allows playback to PCM DAC as well as offline conversion to FLAC:

Hello,

Thank you for your help. I have test with other DSD 5CH convert in FLAC 5CH and it s work s. I think it's a performance of the ampli witch sometimes bug. It's and older like 5 years ago.

If you don't mind having the Windows machine running at the same time as you are playing the transcoded multichannel files on the Pioneer LX78, you may be able to save yourself the hassle of having to manually transcode every DSD file & physically storing the resulting FLAC files for later playback by instead using foobar2000 as a proxy server for 'live' transcoding as and when you need it via UPnP/DLNA streaming.

 

However, you first need to test if the Pioneer LX78 is able to play the continuous FLAC file stream that is produced by foobar2000's foo_output_upnp plugin, as some UPnP renderers don't support playing FLAC file streams that don't have a defined length.
