    Re: Flac 24 bit to 16 bit

    Is it only the latest Reference version that does this? I reinstalled my Reference version R17.2 (dMC-R17.2-Ref-Registered.exe), and it still does not offer this option that I can see.

    Flac 24 bit to 16 bit

    I've searched the forums and found a few answers, but I'm still confused.
    I am using dbPoweramp 17.7
    I need to convert a flac 24 bit, 44.1 kHz file to 16 bit, 44.1 kHz.
    I assume, since I am not...

    Opus conversion problem.

    Newbie help

    Re: Frequency output issue

    That's very interesting. I'd never heard that before. Is this a matter of convention or that at lower bitrates there is no meaningful increase in quality by using a frequency above 32 KHz? I listen...

    Frequency output issue

    I am having an issue which is confusing me. When I rip audio CDs, which MediaInfo tells me are encoded at 44.1 KHz, dbPoweramp outputs mp3 files which are only 32KHz, despite having selected "as...

    Secure rip log question

    Lossy to lossy conversion via wav

    If I am converting from one lossy format to another (say, .aac to .mp3) I have been in the habit of first converting to .wav, and then converting the .wav files to .mp3. My thinking has been that...

    Stereo to mono conversion

    As I understand it (correct me if I'm wrong) a 64 kbit/s mp3 file comprises two channels, each 32 kbit/s. Does that mean that, if converting to mono, the maximum bit rate, without up-sampling, is 32...

    What's happened to m4b?

    Is there a reason that m4b no longer appears in the available codecs? I know that all you have to do is rename m4a files, but that is one extra step that never used to be necessary. I've got all the...
