#9340: SACD/DSD decoding support ------------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: forart.eu | Owner: nobody Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Unscheduled Component: Audio & Video/Codecs | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: SACD Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All ------------------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by bonefish): Replying to [comment:4 pulkomandy]: > And if we make the decoder itself downsample everything, then the high quality of the format is lost and I don't see much point in the whole effort. AFAICT, wrt. quality it doesn't have any practical advantage over 32 bit FP @ 48 kHZ. The latter has a (much) smaller frequency response -- but it is beyond human hearing anyway -- and a greater dynamic range. So transcoding should be just fine. Besides, the "point of the whole effort" is to support the format at all and the easiest way is to decode to a supported standard format. -- Ticket URL: <https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/9340#comment:5> Haiku <https://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
