Re: HDCD DSP not working

In what way is it not working?

Re: HDCD DSP not working

As per second image. No conversion has taken place. Have converted in place (as I usually do) - no go - then converted to a new folder. No go. Never seen this before.

Re: HDCD DSP not working

I just tested with one of my Grateful Dead HDCD disks. I converted with the HDCD DSP and it did convert the flac files to 24 bit flac files (as expected). I'm running Win 8.1 and dbpa 16.1 (64 bit)

Re: HDCD DSP not working

Never had a problem before, many GD HDCD discs as well. Mate with this in the USA had a perfect conversion. Happily, he's sharing his output - still think this is odd as I have never had a DbPowerAmp conversion problem before. And I've been using it for years.

You are sure the tracks you are converting are HDCD encoded?

Re: HDCD DSP not working

See above. That was my first thought, as most all Gdead discs are now HDCD. Checked with a mate in the USA, and his converted fine. Anyway, he's sent me a copy so I'll put this down to one off

See above? What am I looking for?

Re: HDCD DSP not working

My copy of that album ripped correctly and the HDCD DSP correctly converted it to 24-bit. So it's not CD Ripper, but maybe the copies sold outside of the USA (and Canada) are not HDCD encoded (even if the packaging says they are).

Re: HDCD DSP not working

OK. Deffo a problem. New release from dead.net, Dave's Picks 21, ripped straight Flac to disc, also not converting to HDCD. Am going to reinstall

Re: HDCD DSP not working

Reinstall need no difference. So where do I do I go to get this fixed?

Something is wrong here. I have Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, running dBpoweramp Music Converter R15.3 and have over 100 HDCDs.

Running the HDCD DSP on my HDCD tracks creates 24-bit files everytime HDCD tracks are detected. On completion, when I click the Finished button, the following info window is displayed:

Re: HDCD DSP not working

I'm not having that problem using the 16.2 Beta 3 (64bit) release.

Re: HDCD DSP not working

Phew. Am pleased to note that the guy who shares these with me, whom I have just managed to catch up with, realised he did not rip them properly. I found an option in CueTools to check a file for HDCD, and in both cases it was not ON. So mea culpa (sort of!) and not DbPowerAmp, which is my ultimate go to guy for all this work. Sorry for the misdirection, at ease!

Re: HDCD DSP not working

But I thought you were ripping the actual CDs yourself. Are you saying instead that you are illegally obtaining FLAC copies instead? Note that in most countries, it is illegal to share rips of CDs, even one copy among friends.
