In the mood for a bit of folk.

Update: - Aqua DACs - Armature (some models): Asterion (similar to Holo Spring) and Cronos (similar to Denafrips Ares) - Audio-GD (some models) - Audiobyte Vox - Border Patrol - Bricasti M21 and M3 - Denafrips - Esoteric (some models?) - Holo Audio (some models) - iFi micro (some models) - Lampizator - Metrum Acoustics - MHDT (some models) - Phasure NOS1 DAC - Singxer SDA-x family - RME ADI-2 DAC, ADI-2 Pro ADC/DAC - Rockna DACs - T+A (some models): DAC 8 DSD, SD 3100 HV, SDV 3100 HV, HA 200 -

Listening to Sibelius' 2nd:

I looked in the manuals and it seems like they can be run digital filterless when fed DSD (NDSD DSD mode). Can you confirm that? Unfortunately its input is limited to DSD128 but that doesn't mean it won't perform brilliantly.

@Miska, in regard to CPU load which of the following are more taxing? Upconverting PCM to DSD 16/44.1 vs. 24/96. Upconverting PCM24/96 to DSD 44.1-rate vs. 48-rate. Thanks, Ricardo

I am really enjoying today’s daily deal: https://www.eclassical.com/labels/bis/yevgeny-sudbin-plays-liszt-ravel-saint-saens-1.html

Maybe. English is not my first language...

I’m sure the book is mistaken. It mentions several scholars...

Even if you are right, the video is interesting to me because it analyses some aspects of the composition that are ignored or perhaps not obvious to some of us. Regardless of whether Time Out is commercial and kitsch and it’s racist to like over black jazz. I am currently reading The Oxford Companion To Jazz and it looks like jazz, from its onset, is as much white as it is black...

Can’t rebate you on those “set straights” but it’s disappointing that the clickbait tile claim is all that you got from the video (if you even got to watch it)...

I wonder if increasing the buffer size would get rid if the drop outs... Will give it a go. . . . Edit: it does work! (50ms is enough)

For what it’s worth, I can upconvert 16/44.1 to DSD256 using ext2 + ASDM5EC and gentle EQ convolution with a 2018 i3-8100B mini. If I use ASDM7EC instead then there’s the occasional drop out. Temperature stays below 80ºC so the fan is at the lowest speed and thus silent.

Sad news indeed.
