I posted this on the hydrogenaudio forums, and one answers from the admins was following: It seems to me like the DSD -> PCM conversion is flawed. The conversion settings, as far as I can see, don't play a role, since I tried with external flac.exe, internal FLAC encoder and WAV. Here is a also a pic of my conversion settings in Foobar: So, I'd call that cheating, not a solution. HOWEVER, comparing the files in Audacity has shown that AuI actually shortened the track by a sample or two, basically the length of the tick (see picture).

The only program I found out converted the DFF cleanly into FLAC is "AuI ConverteR 48x44". In the Audacity, the "phenomenon" looks like this:Īnd, it's happening with most of the tracks (if not all?). also, the problem existing with older versions of the plugin and DSF files, seems to have been resolved, besides, it's happening with direct ISO-conversion and with DFF. Is it normal that SACDs have clicks between tracks (or at the beginning of a track)? I do read some posts on the net about this phenomenon. I haven't got much experience with SACDs, ISOs I got are merely to test the surround capability of my system for music. I am currently unsure if it's fault of SACD plugin or something else.

However, when I attempt to convert an SACD ISO - and here it doesn't matter if I load the ISO in the Foobar, or I previously convert via Sonore GUI to DFF/DSF - to FLAC (and/or WAV for instance), I get a very annoying "tick" on the beginning of many tracks.

I am using latest beta version of Foobar2000 and also latest 0.8.4 version of SACD plugin.
