To TEAC:
Could you briefly explain the process by which TEAC Hi-Res
Editor is able to convert PCM to DSD and vice versa? I would like to know the
exact tap no. of, say the FIR filter among other processes. Is DSD to PCM
conversion done in one stage like SBM Direct?
And after: [Our reply]
TEAC Hi-Res Editor is possible to convert PCM(WAV) and DSD
mutually.
However, we have not published any information about
conversion process and so on.
We would like you to understand it.
Well I frankly don’t understand it and would like a proper
answer from the engineering faculty. Please refer to this media article in
which Sony in 2005 released specific information regarding their processing: http://av.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/20050905/dal204.htm
DSD DirectではPCMの信号を30,000タップのFIRフィルターで高精度演算
I utilise TEAC DSD DACs here in Australia professionally and my clients
have at times spoken of conversion quality. It is imperative that TEAC releases
some bare essentials/specs in order to gain our trust and show that TEAC is as
diligent and worthy of support as Sony.
