It seems like the resulting WAVEform cannot be higher than -6dB even in 32 bit float. If the DSD is mastered higher than that the WAVEform is simply clipped unless you convert the WAVEform to 352K. Can it be corrected?
Playing (with ASIO) - DSD to PCM are 6 DB lower than native DSD
Playing the two channel set of a 5.1/2.-0 SACD are generating "overs" / clipping on RME ADI-2 FS very often - not the case with PCM, that represent a DR scan fairly well.
2.0 SACD's are often clipped as well, playing in native DSD - modern masterings (like japanese) are more prone to clip than older ones as they go closer to 0 db.
Again - not a problem with PCM playing which apparently are 6 DB lower out of the box.
The PCM setting "Volume [x Db)]" should VERY seldom be set to more than +4 Db to avoid clipping.
Playing single 2.0 DSF files from ripped sources, will produce overs/clipping as well, playing in native DSD.
Commercial DSD files usually are way below 0 Db, like - 6Db.
According to the SACD Scarlet book "0 dB Super Audio CD”,
corresponds to a sine wave with a peak amplitude equal to 50% of the theoretical maximum DSD signal level"
That so - 100% modulation level is +3Db?!
Anyway, thanks for all your affords programming this software, much appreciated
