Features
Easy music playback with high audio quality
using supported Esoteric equipment
You will be able to enjoy the playback of high-resolution audio files
at high audio quality easily by using this application in combination
with a Grandioso D1 or another Esoteric D/A converter with USB that
supports such files. Unlike specialized applications, this application
uses very simple settings and does not require other plug-ins, for
example, to be installed.
Supported models:
Grandioso D1, D-02, D-07X, K-01, K-03, K-05, K-07
o The Grandioso D1 is the only model with which DSD file playback
is possible (as of March 2014).
o A file cannot be played back if it exceeds the supported format
specifications of the equipment.
Support for playback of 2.8/5.6MHz DSD files using
ASIO 2.1 and DoP
When using Windows with a Grandioso D1, DSD native playback,
which converts DSD directly to analog without conversion to a PCM
format, is supported. Playback using ASIO 2.1 and DoP (DSD Audio
over PCM Frames) is possible, and both 2.8MHz and 5.6MHz DSD
files are supported.
Playback also supported for various other high-
resolution file formats
In addition to 2.8MHz and 5.6MHz DSD files, playback of PCM files is
supported for resolutions up to 384 kHz . Furthermore, the playback
of FLAC files with resolutions up to 384 kHz is also supported.
Supported file formats
DSF (.dsf ) 2.8/5.6 MHz
DSDIFF (.dff ) 2.8/5.6 MHz
PCM (.wav) 44.1 kHz – 384 kHz,16 bit – 32 bit
FLAC (.flac) 44.1 kHz – 384 kHz,16 bit – 32 bit
MP3 (.mp3) 32 kbps – 320 kbps
DSD file playback also supported on Mac OS X
DSD file playback using DoP mode is supported not only on
Windows, but also on Mac. (DoP is the only playback mode available
with Mac OS.)
Simple screen design reduces CPU load
and contributes to higher sound quality
By using a simple screen design, the CPU load is reduced, and
this contributes to higher sound quality. For listeners that desire
even better audio quality, the RAM buffer playback loads the data
temporarily into the computer's memory before playback to enable
playback with even higher audio quality.
