96khz 24-bit support on the ipod?

(1/3) > >>

dewdude:
I've got some 96/24 FLAC files..and just to see what would happen, i copied them to my rockpod and loaded it up, and, ok, it skips on really high bitrate files...the higher the worse...naturally..stuff over 2500kbps is almost unbearable..pausing the unit for a bit helps...however, that's not my issue.

while searching for something similar..i picked up a recording question stating (well, it was a quote from something else) that the hardware should be capeable of 96/24. now, i know that's recording, but, obviously if they're going to slap a 96/24 ADC in there...then it wouldn't be hard to believe they'd slap a 96/24 DAC in there too. now, i could probably ask stuff like, is there any truth behind this..however, all i want to know is what is the 5.5 30g capeable of doing...and if so, does rockbox still resample or send as is?

saratoga:
If it skips, I'm guessing you're resampling.  Flac playback is very quick normally.

linuxstb:
The Rockbox playback engine currently resamples everything to 16-bit/44.1KHz Stereo - because it was written for the iriver H1x0/H3x0 which can only handle that samplerate.

The DACs in the ipod should be capable of a range of samplerates up to 96KHz, as well as 24-bit output.  But the playback engine needs adapting to use it.

dewdude:
alrighty. thanks. i shall wait in hope that someone fixes that one day.

aarongoltz:
Is adapting the code to allow the playback of 96k 24-bit files on an Ipod very complex?  I've never actually worked with coding in Rockbox but I'm wondering if its a matter of changing some variables or writing all new code.

Thanks, Aaron
