Aurender App Update
Thx for the heads up gentlemen. I wonder exactly what the MQA update means ... now 24 bit vs 0 padded 32 bit?? I’ve always wondered what the 32 bit meant. Overall, the update descriptions looks like a nice update. I have been so pleased with my experience owning the N10 and X100L.
Well ... a quick google search answered my own question.
“Well, it outputs 24 actual bits of sound data, but puts it in 32-bit chunks, because often soundcards with 24-bit dacs only have 16 and 32 bit modes to work in (like the RME), so if you want to use the full 24-bit capability of the dac, you must trick the card by sending it 24-bit padded to 32.”
“The driver deals with 16 and 32 not 24 so that's why you must pad it. Padding means adding 0s. A 24bit DAC takes 24bits of input and gets rid of the extra 8 zeros.”
