    DSD (DSF) 5.1 Files

    Good afternoon, first post but I've been using dBpoweramp for years now (I own the Reference package). With that said, I am still confused on how to convert DSD/DSF 5.1 files to PCM 5.1 (176kHz/24bit as an example). Every time I try this, mostly all I get with the file is noise (with very little audible audio from the track). What I am doing wrong in trying to convert these 5.1 DSD files to 5.1 PCM?

    In the release notes, this is what it states (maybe I'm reading it wrong):

    Release 3
    Fixed Issue where DoP encoding could add erroneous data
    Fixed issue where could give slight blip at end of track (where end chunk is encoded as zeros)

    Release 2
    Can convert 5.1 DSD
    DSD256 supported
    Able to embed DoP (DSD over PCM)

    What am I missing? Appreciate any help/feedback.

    Perhaps best to upload one of your dsf files, to dropbox or similar and message me a link,

    Here's what it looks like in spectral view for reference when I try to convert to PCM (WAV or AIFF).

    The file you provided converts fine to wave (latest version of dBpoweramp on Windows).

    Ensure in dBpoweramp Control Centre >> Audio Codec settings that under DSD Decoder

    DSD Processing is 'Decode to PCM'
    Decoding Down Sampling is 96Khz
    and 24 bit

    Thank you very much for your help. I don't know how I've missed that over the years but that was a simple fix.

    Re: DSD (DSF) 5.1 Files

    Hi. I also have a question regarding DSD 5.1 files. I would like to down-mix some DSF multi-channel files to (preferably DSF) stereo files to play through a stereo DAC. In dBpoweramp Music Converter, does setting the Channel Count (Fixed Channel Count) to 2 'stereo' do this down-mixing? Many thanks.
