Three apps, one engine

You do not have to hire us: convert, author and play it yourself, on the same in-house dpdo engine.

Engine specs

DpdoAudioTools, DpdoPackSACD and DpdoPlayer share one in-house dpdo engine; the numbers below describe the engine itself.

7
order
MASH 4-2-1 equivalent noise shaping
Modulation noise in the audible band stays below -140 dBFS — no audible hiss at normal levels (peer reference: Saracon / HQPlayer)
65,536
taps
Kaiser sinc upsampling filter
Images above 20 kHz are pushed below -100 dB instead of folding back into the audible band; FFmpeg sits around 30 dB, sacd_extract around 40 dB
64
bit
Double-precision internal arithmetic
IEEE 754 double precision throughout: noise shaping iterates thousands of times, and 32-bit float or 24-bit int accumulates rounding error
< -120
dB
THD+N @ 1kHz
Distortion is below the measurement floor — a 65536-point FFT cannot resolve it, which is not the same as “just meets spec”
64x–1024x
oversampling
Engine oversampling: DSD64–DSD1024
2.8 MHz to 45.2 MHz in one step, without multi-stage resampling; mastering deliverables default to DSD512, higher tiers on request
512–65,536 taps
lead
DSD→PCM reverse FIR taps
Competitors 32-128 taps vs DpdoAudioTools 512-65536 taps, stopband >160 dB (incl. Biquad)

01 Three steps

Three steps — and you never have to install anything; if you prefer to do it yourself, use the three Dpdo apps.

01

Upload files

Send us your finished mix as lossless WAV/FLAC/AIFF. Singles or full albums welcome.

→
02

DSD mastering

Noise reduction, dynamics, DSD modulation and SACD ISO authoring; every track comes with a report (tier used, noise-shaping order, peak and loudness).

→
03

Deliver & pay

You get the DSD master and the SACD ISO, listen, then pay; one free revision after delivery.

02 Choose your spec

The three tiers differ in noise shaping and filter settings — audible in detail and noise floor, not in marketing terms.

🎵

DSD Mastering

Convert your Hi-Res lossless audio through a 64-bit double-precision floating-point pipeline into DSD64/128/256/512, supporting both 44.1kHz and 48kHz base rates. The resulting DSD files can be authored into SACD ISO or played back directly.

  • ✦ Source noise reduction & dynamics optimization with noise analysis + adaptive algorithms
  • ✦ Multi-stage MASH noise shaping: equivalent 7th order, inter-stage TPDF dithering eliminates idle tones
  • ✦ Upsampling filter: single-stage Kaiser sinc, 65536 taps / stopband >100 dB
  • ✦ Delivery in DSF / DFF / DFF+DST (24-bit precision output)
💿

SACD ISO

Author your lossless album into an ISO image compliant with the SACD Red Book specification. Supports both 44.1kHz and 48kHz base-rate systems (48k-base DST compression is a proprietary technology), with full metadata and ISRC.

  • ✦ Stereo + Multi-CH support, up to 6 channels of DST lossless compression
  • ✦ 48kHz base-rate DSD/DST SACD — proprietary technology not available in mainstream toolchains
  • ✦ Complete SACD metadata: album/artist/cover/genre/year/ISRC
  • ✦ Delivery as .iso file (compatible with 48k-base SACD players)
  • ✦ SACD ISO available on custom USB drive, plug-and-play
📋

Mastering Report

Every project includes a professional mastering report PDF showing before/after spectrum comparison, dynamic range (DR), THD+N distortion analysis, noise-shaping curves and 20+ technical parameters, following the IEEE 124 standard format.

  • ✦ Spectrum analysis comparison: FFT 65536-pt, 0.67Hz resolution at 44.1kHz
  • ✦ Dynamic range metrics: DR statistics + peak/true-peak table + loudness (EBU R128)
  • ✦ Noise-shaping curves: MASH residual noise spectrum + psychoacoustic weighting
  • ✦ PDF report delivery with full processing-chain documentation

DXD Mastering

Upsample PCM to DXD format (352.8kHz/384kHz 24/32-bit) using the same engine-grade FIR upsampling chain as DSD (65536-tap Kaiser sinc), outputting WAV/Wave64/FLAC — compatible with all major DAWs, no special player required.

  • ✦ Same 65536-tap Kaiser sinc upsampling filter as the DSD engine, stopband >100 dB
  • ✦ Output 32-bit float WAV / Wave64, 24-bit FLAC — directly editable in any DAW
  • ✦ Steep Kaiser-sinc low-pass + downsampling to 8x original rate (44.1k→352.8k, 48k→384k)
  • ✦ Skips noise shaping and Σ-Δ modulation — preserves pure PCM precision as an alternative path

03 Transparent, no hidden fees

Priced per track and duration, and the quote states exactly what you get: DSD tier, whether a SACD ISO is included, and how many revisions.
