I always recommend to rip and convert a dts cd as a entire single file, then when it's converted to flac use the cuesheeet to split into tracks. using the exact same converters with the data stream) in both systems, the results would be identical. I fully expect that if I were able to compare apples to apples (ie. using a stand alone hardware player, the sound quality increased by magnitudes as you would expect.

So back to your question, when I switched to more pro gear with ripping the disc vs.

It's analog outputs were unbalanced rca jacks.Ī couple years later DVDAE came along and I was finally able to rip the discs and listen to them with my Apogee converters in full pro quality. It had no digital output capabilities for surround program. Clearly a consumer level machine but high end enough to be reasonable (or so I thought at the time). Years ago I picked up a Dennon DVD-3800 when DVDA first hit the store shelves. I have no direct way of A/B-ing the ripped file with the disc directly of course. Same with the MLP compression used on DVDA - it really works like they say it does. I verified the lossless-ness of flac a number of years ago for myself - converting back and forth, subtracting the results and getting perfect null every time. If you want to, you can also use this method with lossy audio sources but you will need the foobar plugin for AC3.I've pulled tracks into a DAW before for examination. I would hope it works for surround but cannot verify it personally. I don't have surround so I've only been doing this with discs that have lossless stereo. (I guess DVDAE sometimes save you the trouble of doing that.) Once the mkv is converted to individual flac files I go on to the task of typing out all titles and album name. This will give each chapter a unique name when converting to flac, assuming that tracknumber is part of your file naming scheme. Unfortunately the mkv title tracklist comes out as all identically named tracks and with no tracknumbers.Īt this point if you were to convert them all, each chapter would wind up with the same name so I use the masstagger plugin in foobar2000 to autonumber the chapters. Usually each chapter represents a song in a concert disc, for example. It will show the audio broken down as individual chapters for that mkv title. Then you drag the resulting mkv file into foobar2000. To be safe I usually only select the one audio track I want and leave all other audio tracks unchecked. When you do this MakeMKV flags the lossless audio track(s). In MakeMKV, you need to save your mkv file with the FLAC profile (drop down menu under the 'Make MKV' button, in expert mode). If it works for you it may save you having to backup the entire disc - you can simply pick individual titles of interest.

I've had trouble on my Windows 10 machine trying to run DVDAE so I've found a method to bypass it by using MakeMKV and foobar2000.
