VAIOのDSD Direct

 

DSD Direct – I just love it for its speed in converting WAV 16 or 24 bit 44.1khz files into 2.8 DSD64. The SBM-Direct algorithm may have been reversed for it to achieve high audio quality – beyond any of the software for 10 years+. I doubt TEAC algorithms are as good – they are better than AudioGate anyway.

It can create DSD files from a clean CD if you wish to and create DSD Discs – a useless format 10 years on. I can see that it automatically uses the fastest GHz speed which for me is currently 3.08 GHz (for a 3.1 GHz max processor). It utilises 60-71% (mainly 60) which makes me estimate that it uses 100% if it is a 2GHz processor. That was the case with DSD Direct Player on FE4, which due to its reliance on RAM, is something I really want to get on this PC via a USB integrations of the CXD chip. Unfortunately it will freeze in a system without the chip and driver – Realtek drivers worked.

Utilisation of the HDD is periodic – it reads at a constant 500 kb but writes in bursts of 2-3.1 MB and every 3 seconds it writes 0MB – so up and down!

COMPLETED VERSION Charles Perkins and the 1965 Australian Freedom Ride

  Charles Perkins and the 1965 Australian Freedom Ride Charles Perkins was a champion for the rights and justice of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and an inspirational soccer player. He has described the Freedom Ride as the “the greatest and most exciting event [he had] ever been involved with in Aboriginal affairs”. A re-enactment and celebration of the Ride’s 50 th anniversary was held by the University of Sydney in 2015. That’s just last year. The original campaign was conceived and made possible through the occurrence of the civil rights movement in the U.S in the beginning of the 1960s. The Freedom Riders, as they were called in America, saw effective media coverage but were initially slow to achieve their purpose of desegregation on buses. Despite the violence and unrest it provoked, the tradition of direct action in civil rights was formed and solutions to segregation problems were implemented. Originally, University of Sydney students demonstrating out...
