Tech information
- FLAC has 32 bit / 384 kHz technical limitation of audio resolution.
Read more... - SACD ISO, DSF and DFF are DSD (high-resolution audio) files. Their sample rates are DSD64=64fs=2.8 MHz, DSD128=128fs=5.6 MHz, DSD256=256fs=11.2 MHz, DSD256=256fs=22.6 MHz, DSD1024=1024fs=45.2 MHz, DSD2048=2048fs=90.3 MHz. fs is 44100 kHz (CD-audio sampling rate). Technically DSD files may have higher sampling rates. It allows providing wider useful frequency band. These DSD formats uses 1-bit resolution only.
