Enabling playback with even higher audio
quality
Selecting the DSD decode mode
With the TEAC HR Audio Player, you can choose the playback format.
Select [Device] from the [Configure] menu to open the [Configure]
window.
Set the [Decode mode] item to [DSD over PCM] or [DSD Native], as
you prefer.
ATTENTION
o To play 11.2MHz DSD files when a UD-503 or another device that
supports DSD native playback is connected, select “DSD Native”.
o When a device that does not support DSD native playback is
connected, “DSD Native” can be selected and 11.2MHz DSD files
can be played, but no sound will be output from the connected
device.
DSD over PCM
Using the DoP (DSD Audio over PCM Frames) playback method,
the DSD signal is embedded into an ordinary PCM format signal
for transfer.
o DoP is not compatible with 11.2MHz DSD file playback.
DSD Native
Using the ASIO 2.1 driver, the DSD data is transferred directly
without PCM conversion or other change.
Selecting the data loading method
You can set how files are accessed for playback.
Select [Device] from the [Configure] menu to open the [Configure]
window.
Set the [Audio Data Handling] item to [Normal] or [Expand to RAM].
For playback with even higher audio quality, select [Expand to RAM].
Normal
Data is loaded in the same manner as ordinary file access.
Expand to RAM
The file to be played back is loaded into RAM once before play-
back. Playback can be made more stable because loading does
not occur at the same time,and this enables playback with higher
audio quality.
o When [Expand to RAM] is selected, it may take some time to
start playback if the processing speed of the computer is slow.
