Title: Convenient Playback --a feature request
Post by: charliemb on January 16, 2013, 09:32:27 pm
Why not do a table like JRiver for specifying interpolation rates.   Something like this.

SourceOutput rate
442x
962x
1761x
1921x

Without this, there is no way to enjoy top sound quality for each type of source material when playing back tracks of different sampling rates (as in random playback from Nice Stuff directory) without playback stopping with a sample rate change warning for 176 and 192K tracks.

Hmm Charlie ...
It won't cover for more complex situations, but when you activate the fx button and set the upsample slider to 2x, you'd be having the exact situation as you just put in that example table ...

Sorry, that was a bad example.  Here's what sounds best with my 192K DAC, cables, amps, speakers...

SourceOutput rate
442x
482x
882x
961x
1761x
1921x

...and there's no way to get it.

I don't know what you mean by "more complex situations" because a table like JR's covers all situations; and if not you can add more columns for like PE etc.

You may not need fx for deciding on 1x 2x 4x 8x 16x.  Fx can still be used for other things like gain control.

Not to mention that people with 96K DACs may need something like this:

SourceOutput rate
442x
481x
881x
961x
1760.5x
1920.5x

And it's so easy to specify with a simple table.

I do. Your first example was too simple not to be covered already. That's all !
