Sony: How to install a Super Audio CD Decoder component
I’ve successfully followed these steps to get DSD (.dsf filetype) and SACD (.iso filetype) playing at high bit rate using foobar2000 on my S.M.S.L M500 DAC.
This has been adapted from “SECTION II” of this page, thanks to “sirblew” for the tip!
Introduction
DSD stands for Direct Stream Digital and it is a high-definition lossless audio format with a twist. PCM signal solutions (like FLAC, TTA or APE) measure a set of bits multiple times per second to capture the audio data, hence the 16/24-bit parameter. On the other hand, DSD uses only one bit but samples it 2.8 million times a second to capture the audio signal.
ASIO Output (Required)
Download and extract foo_out_asio – ASIO Output
Install the asio component:
- File > Preferences > Components
- Click Install.
- Select “foo_out_asio.fb2k-component”.
- Click OK, then OK again to restart Foobar2000.
Set the asio component as the output device:
- File > Preferences > Playback > Output
- Device: “ASIO : USB DAC ASIO” (or name of your device)
Optionally, disable all other devices:
- File > Preferences > Playback > Output > Devices
- (uncheck all but “ASIO : USB DAC ASIO”, for example)
SACD (ISO) Playback
Download and extract foo_input_sacd – Super Audio CD Decoder. This decoder is capable of playing back Super Audio CD ISO images, DSDIFF, DSF and DSD WavPack files.
Install DSD SACD component:
- File > Preferences > Components
- Click Install.
- Select only “foo_input_sacd.fb2k-component”.
- Click OK, then OK again to restart Foobar2000.
Set plugin for “PCM” as output mode:
- File > Preferences >Tools > SACD
- Output (per device)
- Type: “DSD+PCM” (was PCM). Note: DSD+PCM will send a converted to PCM stream to Foobar so graphic add-ons like VU-meters, spectrographs and so on will work as they do when playing regular PCM files.
- Samplerate: 384000 (was 44100)
- Converter
- DSD2PCM Mode: “Direct (64fp, 30kHz lowpass)” (was “Multistage (32fp)”). 30KHz low pass filtered means all DSD noise above that frequency is removed and does not reach the amp.
- Input
- Preferable Area: “Stereo” (was “None”). Only stereo tracks are displayed.
- Editable Tags (was unchecked).
- Store Tags With ISO (was unchecked). Stores tag info in the plugin folder.
- Linked 2CH/MCH Tags (was unchecked). Tags added to a SACD ISO will be shared between stereo and multichannel tracks.
- Click OK
DSF Extraction (optional)
This can be useful if you open an ISO file and want to extract the contained files to DSF.
Download and extract foo_dsd_converter.
Install DSD Converter component:
- File > Preferences > Components
- Click Install.
- Select only “foo_dsd_converter.fb2k-component”.
- Click OK, then OK again to restart Foobar2000.
Ensure “Convert” menu item is enabled:
- File > Preferences > Display > Context Menu
- Ensure “Convert” (and child items) are checked.
Now right click a file in the playlist an choose “Convert > DSD Convert”.
- Output format: DSF
- Path:
- Output style: “…” then choose file name: “nn. title” and close dialog.
- Click “Convert”.
Red Dot Forever is an extremely simple program to record MIDI files. It has no advanced editing features — but if you just want to RECORD, listen back to what you PLAYed, and finally SAVE your recording to disk, then Red Dot Forever is all you need.

This component provides an editor for title formatting code [mainly targeted at title formatting beginners]. The editor includes syntax highlighting, a preview of the selected fragment of the code and a view of the code structure. The idea behind the component is to allow users to explore title formatting scripts by exposing aspects which are normally hidden on the user interface of foobar2000 and its components.

Bluemindo is a really simple yet powerful audio player in Python/PyGTK, using Gstreamer. It’s a free (as in freedom) software, released under GPLv3, only.
Bluemindo’s user interface consists of a main view of all your digitized album discs, which is searchable and filterable. The playback mode is gapless and support ReplayGain (it can also automatically choose to switch between Album and Track modes, depending on the kind of music that’s being played). Last but not least, it brings playlist (automatic and user-made), MPRIS/MediaPlayer2 support and lyrics/artwork downloading.

Features:
- Up to 128-bit (internal) Multi-Stage Guitar Amplifier Layered Distortion, also runs in 64 and 32 bit modes
- Native Mac and Linux ports coming soon
- Advanced maths for tube-like guitar amplifier distortion, doesn’t use cheap waveshaping

SimpleTag is a cross-platform desktop tool, which allows to update the labels of all your music before incorporating it into a musical library or cloud service.
Nowadays, the amount of music we have in our equipment is large, it is no longer possible to manage with the traditional system of filenames and directories. The most convenient way is to use the concept of libraries that handle the big market music players: iTunes, Amarok, Windows Media Player, Google Music, … etc.
The labels of music files contains all the information on artist, album, genre, title, lyrics … etc, associated with a song. This information is used by music players to manage their libraries. A good labeling enhances the user experience.
Do you want your music in the cloud? Then before, you have to check the tag information is correct before incorporating. If you do not, you will be unable to locate many of your songs.
Features:
- Complete file information from audio fingerprint (AcoustID database). This uses the service provided by AcoustId (http://acoustid.org). One colors simple system gives you information about your search results
- Locate the covers of your songs by the artist/album the song. The location of the cover image, uses Google image services. It also incorporates images that are in the directory you’re processing, treating them as potential cover images.
- Allows mass renaming music files on disk, based on the tag information. If in addition to either your tagged songs, you want the file names follow a pattern that identifies them, you can use this feature.
- Supports MP3, Ogg/Vorbis formats
- Mass-tagging of multiple files
- Auto enumerate the selected songs. In many cases, the songs do not have track numbers. With this feature, you can set the sequence numbers for all the songs on an album.
