How are you opening the .iso or .dff files in XLD? EDIT: hmm...weirdly this started working. I have no idea what changed but I now seem to be able to open .iso

"Since version 20141109, XLD is able to open and convert DSD files. It supports DSF (.dsf), DSDIFF (.dff) and SACD .iso formats. For DSF and DSDIFF formats, 2.8MHz (DSD64) and 5.6MHz (DSD128) files are supported."

In XLD how do you open a .dff file? I see the DSD importer settings but when I try to open the .dff I get an error "cannot open the input file". I get the option to open as RAW PCM (but the options there bare no resemblance to the DSD importer settings).

Thanks. I suspect that if it can't read .iso then it can't collect any metadata from the disc. Will look at MusicBrainz Picard. Cheers

Cool - and metadata transfer is good? Does it start with the iso or with .dff extraction?

Thanks. I didn't realise XLD did this now. Do they do multichannel? I see that DSDMaster says it is expected to work but has not been tested.

Excuse me for digging up this old thread and then asking about DSD to PCM conversion on a Mac. I looked at DSD Master and note: It is expected to work with multi-channel DSD files, but this aspect has not been tested. Has anyone tested this?

Hi. It's been a very long time since I looked at all of this. I can play SACD .iso files in JRiver. However, a friend needs files which are converted to PCM (e.g. in a wave container). I used to do conversions of .dff files to PCM with Korg Audiogate ver 2.3.3. However, I don't seem to be able to drop or add .dff files into this software anymore (it is still ver 2.3.3) unless I am doing something incredibly basic wrong. How are people converting these days? PS: OS is Mac OS-X

So Naidiver, what were your experiences with the AB5100 sheets? Night vs day transformation?

Cyan is better. Attenuated more as a result of being thicker.

Not sure what you mean. Look at the connections to ground, both at the rectifier and the capacitive input filter of the regulator. BTW this is a good online resource for learning: DIY Audio Articles

The easy way is the LT1085 No takers for the ATX power management circuit?

The catalyst for what I ended up doing began with asking how to take the Jung/Didden super regulator and make it high current capable. A single BJT pass transistor doesn't cut it. Darlington? Maybe. Or perhaps a super, new, high speed MOSFET... If you need only about 0.5A current capability, just buy and build the Jung/Didden super regulator board(s). It's an awesome, proven design. If you need more current capability, well, then you start a big adventure... I think the measurements you are referring to are the transient response charts. These are pics from my oscilloscope of the output of the regulator when reacting to extremely fast steps in load.

Start by learning the basics of BJT and MOSFET pass transistor regulators. Then learn to model them in LTspice. You'll need to understand, amongst other things, loop gain, phase and gain margin and feedback stability criteria. Only then would I go to a breadboard or better yet a PCB. Then you have the challenge of testing that circuit's stability. It mustn't break into oscillation as a result of a step in load. That was very hard and took me several iterations of transient testing jig. I almost gave up even at this advanced stage. Designing a high performance regulator from scratch is not for the faint hearted.
