Weiss SARACON DSD - Sample Rate Converter

Saracon Sampling Rate Conversion Software

A versatile multichannel file format and sampling rate conversion tool of utmost sonic quality and unprecedented conversion speed. All standard sampling rates between 44.1kHz and 384kHz are supported, including DXD. And DSD too. POW-R dithering is also standard procedure of course.

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.
