We find that if we take a 16-bit/44.1kHz or higher PCM file and transform it to DSD, the improvement is amazing. Not only that, it can also transform them to DSD using a DSD capable DAC up to DSD512. This software is able to take your 16-bit/44.1kHz CD or higher sample rate PCM files and upsample them to the highest sample rate your DAC is capable of accepting. Sound Galleries' choice for the audio engine is HQPlayer from Signalyst. Rather than simply play back the files at the original sample rate, we can use a specialized audio engine which is able to make the most dramatic improvements. Once we have the tracks ripped from our CDs or downloaded on a hard drive or SSD, we can throw all the computational power available to us at the task of improving the sound. Alternatively buy and download CD or higher quality files from a variety of online stores. Even some discs that were unplayable on your CD player now became playable. CD players had to attempt to do this in real time while the disc was spinning and could never catch all the errors. Rip a CD with the right software and you can correct all the errors on it, leaving you with a pristine set of music files. The latter can produce music whose length no longer has to be constrained by the physical media it's distributed on. The possibilities are only just really dawning on both listeners and composers of music. We can also rent access to almost all the world's recorded media streamed to us in CD quality sound for less than €20/$20 a month. We can store anywhere from hundreds to tens of thousands of CDs' worth of music on storage media ranging from USB keys to multi-terabyte hard disks or solid-state drives. Overview: Welcome to the age of computer audio where we are free of the limitations of physical media in the form of spinning optical discs.
