Weiss SARACON DSD - Sample Rate Converter

Runs on Windows or OSX platforms.

Saracon comes in two variants: SARACON PCM and SARACON DSD. The latter also supports DSD conversion. SARACON is a batch processor working on source and destination files. It does not support streaming modes.

Features:

• Sampling Rates (input/output): 44.1k, 48k, 88.2k, 96k, 176.4k, 192k, 352.8k, 384k, DXD, DSD
• Wordlengths (input/output): 16/20/24/32 bit fixed point, 32/64 IEEE float, DSD
• File Formats (input/output): Microsoft-Wave (*.wav), Sonic Foundry w64 (*.wav), Audio Interchange File Format (*.aiff), Sun Audio (*.au), Broadcast-Wave (BWF), Sound Designer II (sd2), Apple Core Audio Files (caf), Ensoniq PARIS audio file format (paf), Matlab 4 and 5 files (mat), Header-less raw audio files (*.raw),  dsdiff
• Wordlength Reduction Methods: Flat TPDF dither, POW-r 1, POW-r 2,
  POW-r 3
• THD+N PCM to PCM: better than –180dB for 32 Bit fixed point I/O, unweighted
• THD+N PCM to DSD: better than –147dB for 32 Bit fixed point Input, unweighted
• Number of channels: PCM to PCM: unlimited, DSD to PCM: unlimited, PCM to DSD: up to six
• Weiss quality conversion algorithms
• Ergonomic user interface
• Built in sine-generator for testing purposes

Furthermore:

• Extensive DSD Conversion analysis

• Selectable interpolation / decimation filter sets for DSD conversion
• Flexible input to output channel routing
• Different modulators selectable, each with its own options like gain, dithering etc.
• Upsampler characteristics selectable (different interpolators)
• Log window shows time tagged events (e.g. overs)
• Non-volatile level / peak meter / history with full featured viewer. See screen shot example here.
