There are two types of DSD music playback on computers: hard decoding playback and soft decoding playback.

The specific introduction is as follows:

Hard decoding:

In order to achieve hard decoding and playback, an external decoder that supports DSD decoding is required, so it requires hardware Require.

Soft solution:

1. First download foobar2000

2. After installing foobar2000, you need to install another ASIOProxy thing and download the latest version of zip compression After packaging, unzip it and just choose Next to install.

3. After installation, open foobar2000, select [File]---[Parameter Options],

4. Browse to find the previously decompressed foo_input_sacd-0.7.1 directory, which There is a file that can be selected called "foo_input_sacd.fb2k-component", just select it.

5. Then select "Apply" and confirm to restart the software.

DSD is the abbreviation of Direct Stream Digital, which means direct bit stream digital encoding and is the encoding mode of SACD (Super Audio CD).

Using 1-bit bit stream sampling with a high sampling rate of 2.8224MHz[1] (64 times the CD 44.1kHz sampling), it directly converts the analog music signal waveform into a digital signal in a pulse manner. , uses nearly four times the space of a CD to store music, so it can provide better sound effects. Due to the high number of samples, the sampled waveform is very smooth and closer to the original analog waveform.

Furthermore, since multiple bits are not used, the bit conversion process is omitted, which reduces the distortion and noise that may occur due to digital filtering. In addition, because it is not as susceptible to power supply or external interference as multi-bit systems, the quality will be relatively stable in theory.
