Digital Speech Decoder is an open source software package that decodes several digital speech formats. It uses the mbelib library (a separate open source package) to.
My new amp has an integrated DAC that can play DSD64 and 128. I have never used DSD files before.
I know nothing about streaming. I have downloaded some files on my mac. How do I make it work? I connect the mac via USB to the DAC, I assume, then use the DAC as sound card.
What software should I use to play the DSD files? (first question was easy) Second question: What is the easiest was to create a home network with a NAS to stream to the renderer that is also integrated in my amplifier?
Thanks in advance and apologies for my immense digital ignorance Edited August 9, 2016 by o2so. I dont know your amp, but accessed the Hegel website. There is a lot of info on there that explains what you wish to know. This looks like a fantastic amp, you have all the normal stuff of an integrated, but have a built in dac, so can take various inputs. Also has network compatibility. As it is a renderer it can access files somewhere on your network. To play DSD files your DAC must support it, or your software can convert from DSD to PCM, I do the latter just because I have an old Dac.
You have several options. • Put Audirvana on your mac, connect that to the amp via usb set the software to play via your dac, Works great. Free sims 4 download for mac all expansions lonnie. (I am using jriver on Windows and can unfortunately not give an opinion on its abilities on Mac.) • Another alternative is to connect it to a NAS (with LAN) and with Audirvana play the music files from the NAS. • What could further be possible with the right software and NAS is to play files from the NAS directly to the Hegel using a phone or computer.
