How to convert FLAC to DSF, DFF (DSD files)
To convert FLAC to DSD files (DSF or DFF) with high accuracy:
- Launch AuI ConverteR software
- In the main window, click Open files button. Appear Open dialog.
As an alternative, it's possible to click Open dir button. If Subdir button is checked (led is lighted), AuI ConverteR will scan directories for all files with allowable extensions.
If CUE files are placed in the directory, it is recommended to open each .cue separately for avoiding conversion audio files that are linked with the .cue twice.*
- Select output directory
In the main window of the converter (left lower part), look for Directory output files field.
It can be as absolute as relative (source FLAC file) directory.
- In AuI ConverteR's main window (right middle part), Format field, Select target format of audio files: DSF or DFF.
- Click Start button.
- Wait until the conversion ends. Look for converted files in the directory selected in goal 2.
* WARNING:
DVD-audio/video, Blu-Ray, DVD/BluRay/CD ISO are NOT supported.
For Modula-R version, SACD ISO, DSF, DFF are supported in proper configurations.
For ISO tracks, DSF, DFF longer than 3 minutes, FREE edition mutes 2-second silence in the output middle and has other restrictions. In batch conversion FREE version mutes 2 seconds in the output middle for second and the subsequent files.
Free version has processing sound quality identical commercial editions.

What is DSF file
DSF audio file is a high-resolution audio file in DSD format.
Its sound content is based on:
- sigma-delta modulation;
- bit depth: 1-bit; and
- sample rates: from 2.8 MHz (44 100 Hz x 64 = D64).
Sample rates are multiply to 44100 Hz:
- 5.6 MHz (44100 x 128 = DSD128),
- 11.2 MHz (44100 x 256 = DSD256),
- 22.5 MHz (44100 x 512 = DSD512),
- 45.2 MHz (44100 x 1024 = DSD1024),
- etc.
There is sigma delta modulation used that allows achieving high signal/noise ratio in useful audio band. Read more about PCM vs. DSD.
Audio quality of different editions
Audio quality of all AuI ConverteR’s editions is identical. Digital signal processing is applied the same way. FREE edition is restricted in functionality.

AuI ConverteR is a configurable software that lets you choose the features you need and pay only for them. A "module" is a part of AuI ConverteR's functionality that you can buy separately. You can buy new modules later to enhance your Modula-R major version (details). Each module is a license key that you get by email and enter in the software. A "major update" is a change in the first version number of the software version (for example, from 10.x to 11.x) and it is not free. However, your license is unlimited-time, which means you can use the software as long as you want without any subscription fees. (details)
IMPORTANT: The Free version of AuI ConverteR does not work with any modules. You need to buy a CORE module first, and then you can add other modules that are compatible with it (details). If you buy all the modules, you get the same features as the PROduce-RD version, which is a complete and cheaper package. You cannot exchange your Modula-R license for a PROduce-RD license.

Read about DSD and PCM comparison...
When DSD64 to DSD256 is converted, why output level is -12dB?
As rule, DSD output is set -6 dB for 0 dB PCM input. It's headroom to protect against broken stability of DSD modulator due to overload. Read more...
AuI ConverteR's DSD output allows -0.4 dB for 0 dB PCM input, as default. The software has own original protection method. It doesn't fully solve the stability issue, but add overload tolerance for AuI's modulator.
If an input signal has very significant spectrum energy and AuI's modulator stability is broken (noise, silence, tone at output), it's need to attenuate output signal manually or set auto normalizing target level lesser up to several dB.
