Dsd files - any way to open?

dsf or dff formats - apparently aren't supported. Any way to open them in audition? Or will there be in the near future?
Thanks

Just FYI, there is quite a bit of music, mostly classical, being recorded in DSD and released as digital files, not only as SACD.  In addition, a lot of catalog material originally recorded on tape (all types of music) is being remastered to DSD and released for download. In  a  quick search, I came up with about 500 titles, all from the last year or two, with more on the way. SONY, among others, has begun marketing home equipment capable of playing back DSD files; they also have all of their music archives (thousands of titles) in DSD, so if these start to be released in large numbers for download there will be no lack of material.
SACD is a proprietary closed format which can't be copied under normal circumstances. Probably one of the big reasons it didn't succeed outside of classical recording and in Japan, where it is still quite a viable format. There are though, about 8000 SACD titles available, and the number is still growing. The advantage of dsf and dff releases is that they are DSD without the copy protection, and can be manipulated, played back, and copied just like any other digital file.
As far as how it sounds, you'd have to listen for yourself. I think there quite a few people that can hear that DSD playback sounds different from SACD playback and also from PCM playback. There's no reason it houldn't, as the filtering used in recording (none for DSD in recording) and playback is different than PCM.

  • Is there any way to open a file with a .msi extension on my new mac?

    I have Camtasia from the pc I was using. It has a .msi file extension for the installation file. Is there any way to open the Camtasia installation file with the .msi extension on my new Mac?
    Thanks,

    That's a Microsoft program which requires Windows. You could run on your Mac if you install Windows on it.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • Is there any way to open .mts files in Qicktime and FCPX?

    Is there any way to open .mts files on the Mac? I am reffering ti opening them in Quicktime and in FCPX. My camera costs a LOT, and I think it's ridiculous that I can't open these files. I can't even find a decent conversion tool to do it for me. Please help!

    I just checked this link and it's looks like FCPX have no problem to open it.
    http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/mts
    .mts is also called AVCHD.
    I also check FCPX Documentation here : http://help.apple.com/finalcutpro/mac/10.0.6/#ver2833f855
    And it say it can support AVCHD videos.
    VLC also support it for watching the video and anyway Quicktime X is useless with many codecs.
    Check again to import files in FCPX as i can't test i don't have any .mts files.
    Hope this help.
    You can read this also if you want to convert them : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1412182?start=15&tstart=0
    I will say it's better to use Handbrake, anyway it's what i use.

  • Is there any way to open an .xlsb file in numbers?

    Our ad department has recently upgraded their windows PCs, and it seems the new default for Excel to save is .xlsb (excel binary workbook). Is there any way to open this in Numbers, or is my only answer to go over to them again and again, to get them to resave in .xls or .xlsx?

    Ask them to resave as .xls
    If they are polite enough, I'm quite sure that they may change their default format to .xls.

  • HT4642 Dear Support team,   There are any way to open Microsoft Excel - Office by using CSV format

    Dear Support team,
    There are any way to open Microsoft Excel - Office by using CSV format
    best regards

    For the record, this is a user-to-user support forum. You aren't actually addressing Apple.
    I'm not clear what you are trying to do, but Numbers will open a CVS file adn will export to CVS (as well as Page, Numbers, and PDF) using the document function (looks like a box with an arrow; upper left). If this isn't what you are looking for, perhaps you could provide a bit more detail.

  • Any way to open v3 project in v2?

    If you create something in version 3 of Animate, is there any way to open it in v2, or a way to save it so it is compatible?

    Hi Bob,
    No problem, but let your supervisor know the latest version is a free upgrade if you're a CC customer, and it has some awesome new features.
    Anyway, I couldn't find my original post on this, but here's the workaround for EA3:
    Close EA3 if it is running, and make a copy of your composition folder for safety on your system
    Go to your composition folder, and open your compositionName_edge.js file in a text editor
    Do a search for the word "source" (sans-quotes) - you're looking for a line that looks like this: source:['83px','','',''],  note: (your pixel value will vary)
    Delete that entire line. Search the rest of your document for any other similar lines that begin with "source", and do the same
    Save the file
    Re-open your composition in EA3
    That should solve the problem, allowing the composition to load fully. For anyone else reading, there's no need for this workaround if you open the composition in Edge Animate CC 2014.
    hth,
    Joe

  • Is there any way to open Internet Explorer?

    I wonder if there's any way of opening Internet Explorer up, together with the specified URL without the user clicking on the IE icon using Java??
    Thank you in advance.

    IE (Internet Explorer) is fused into Windows and so Windows will always be able to access it, thats right, you can NEVER really get rid of it. That's because Microsoft decided for you that YOU want their browser and no body elses. Either Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera, or HotJava will be installed on a Windows-based system so do this to get IE running.
    String theURL = "http://java.sun.com"; // chnage this to whatever URL you want.
    try {
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec("c:/program files/internet explorer/iexplore.exe " + theURL)'
    } catch(IOException e) {
    Now it runs IE, netscape is something similar.
    MacOS will be different, also Unix/Linux.

  • Any way to open new browser window without using image maps?

    Is there any way to open new browser window without using image maps? My code works fine in Firefox, but not in IE. There are 2 problems in IE: 1st is that the thumbnail images move up within their own borders & 2nd that when you click on an image it does open up a new browser window, but also redirects to the index page (in this case it's just a placeholder index page - the new one I've called index_new.html for the time being).
    Here is the link:
    http://www.susieharperdesigns.com/gallery_beads.html
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Your missing a value on the HREF.  In your code you have this:
    <area shape="rect" coords="-24,-9,106,144" href=" " onclick="MM_openBrWindow('gallery_bead1.html','','width=255,height=360')" />
    </map></div>
    and it should be this:
    <area shape="rect" coords="-24,-9,106,144" href="javascript:void()" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('gallery_bead1.html','','width=255,height=360')" />
    </map></div>
    If you fix the code on all your beads, it should work.

    Is there any way to open an VB6 execulatble application via a Sharepoint application page?

    No, only thing you can do is add a link to a sharepoint application page that points to a vb6 executable, once the end user clicks that one, the client OS and end user decide what happens next.

  • Any way to open port for all computers?!

    Hey folks,
    I'm using an Airport Extreme as the router for a small network. It's been performing fantastically.
    But, something I can't figure out is:
    Is there any way to open a port for all the computers I have hooked into the Airport?
    I can of course open ports per internal IP address, but what I'd really like to do is just open up a slew of ports for all of the machines. This way I can leave them grabbing DHCP-provided, non-static IPs, but they can also get access to the services they need to.
    Tried the old asterisk in the host IP field (like "192.168.1.*") but no dice. Actually I can't even find a yes or no answer on if this is even possible...
    Thanks in advance!

    Sorry, but the AirPorts do not support a feature to forward a port to multiple IP addresses; only multiple ports to a single IP address.

  • Is there any way to open a previous version of a psd?

    While I was trying to convert an image to a pdf it would not save the item correctly. My computer was having problems with the large size of the item so I was going to restart. I saved the image as a psd so I would not lose the final version of the document i was creating and now that I have opened the psd again the image is flattened to just one layer instead of the 35ish layers i was playing with. Is there any way I can recover the psd that was previously made before the last save.

    No, not unless you use something like Time Machine (Mac) or File History (Windows).
    From my own testing, File History doesn't actually work very well, and isn't a good substitute for a regular backup process.
    You could recover your file from your last regular backup.  You are doing backups, right?  You should be; I recommend nightly.
    There is a gotcha reported from time to time where when saving files as PDF, then later saving as PSD, the layers end up getting flattened (or maybe it's an option that gets turned off, I can't recall).  I remember the takeaway was that it pays to look at the Save As options ([ ] Layers setting?) as a habit when saving.  I'm sorry I don't remember the specifics any better right now.  Maybe it will come to me.
