Follow Source Format

Post by arkcov9 » Fri Jul 03, 2020 12:42 am

While Follow Source Frequency really works but we don't have the option for the format because I have both 24-bit and 32-bit music on my phone and it's a bit hassle to switch from 24-bit to 32-bit when listening 32-bit music, vice versa.

Follow source is with regards to sample rate not bit depth.
( On my device at output it's always padded to 32bit ) regardless of playing 16/24/32 bit source files.

Not to mention the fact that 32bit audio is hardly, if ever, fully resolved by the DAC. 32bit/64bit may matter for precision of DSP and EQ, but DACs may never even see the difference.

I fail to see the point. What has the bit-depth of the input to do with the bit-depth of the output ? The DSP uses 32-bit or if so you choose 64-bit. Why ever would you want to use less whatever the input ? Whether you activate the 32-bit-floating-point-output or not is independent of everything else. Either you have a DAC that can deal with that or you havn't.
