It seems there are so many playback ways, different PC's, different software playback. If you follow QQ enough there is certainly no correct answer as you can already tell. Thanks !Ĭlick to expand.Chas9496, thanks for reaching out and trying, ripping can be sometimes easy and sometimes very hard and asking for help is a good thing. If anyone can help that has knowledge to how these work, please let me know. Sorry if I'm confusing anyone or have this Topic in the incorrect Forum. This has been very frustrating that I can't get these files to work correctly so they can be played. I've downloaded a few programs like isoimage burner and Roxio and have Winrar downloaded on my PC. So far I've gotten nothing trying these for 2 days now. They have 4.0 and stereo mixes in the file. The problem is that I'm not getting anything converted or extracted to play these but a non-readable file error.
These appear to be iso files that need either extracted or converted from rar files to iso and can be saved to a new folder or burned to disc.
I'm talking about dtsmusic.top or download files. I'm trying to convert or play iso sacd download files and can't get any music information extracted from the files. I'm a sucker for good soundstage, perhaps I'd be the perfect candidate for the Smyth Realiser (the more I read about it the more I want one) but for now this will suffice.I'm kinda new here and did a search and didn't find much to my problem. With the increased "headstage" and added clarity from 5 separate channels I find that if I turn it off my previous setup sounds uninvolving and lifeless, at least in comparison. Perhaps not but I think it goes a long way in bridging the gap from headphones to speakers, at least for those of us that can't invest $3,000 in the SmythSVS Realiser.
It's similar in performance to Astound sound DSP I tried before (except, that Astound sound does more of a "sphere" of sound rather than traditional 5.1 set up). The localization is noticeable, but nowhere near the clarity and precision of excellent speakers or my Smyth Realiser. Making it sound like it's around my head. It doesn't make it sound like there are real speakers out in space around you, but it certainly increased the size of the "headstage". Thanks for posting the step by step guide.
