Multi-format + DXD

Input FLAC / WAV / AIFF, output DSF / DFF / DST + DXD (WAV64/WAV/FLAC 32/24-bit) — one engine covering both DSD and PCM domains

Real-time DSD recording

PCM→DSD real-time conversion recording and native DSD capture (DoP / Native ALSA), with monitoring, headroom and duration control

High-order filtering

Kaiser / Remez / Blackman / Hamming / Hanning windows; CIFB modulator and MASH hybrid topologies

Batch mode

Multi-file batch conversion with per-track parameter overrides, CUE splitting and custom naming templates

Sound enhancement

Automatic panorama correction, harmonic saturation (tape/tube emulation), look-ahead limiter, psychoacoustic noise shaping

SACD authoring + DXD workflow

Pair with DpdoPackSACD to package DSF/DFF directly into SACD ISO or Dpdo DSD Disc; --dxd mode outputs DAW-readable DXD files

FAQ

How do I get DpdoEngine?

DpdoEngine is part of the Dpdo product suite. Visit dpdo.cn for more information.

Which operating systems are supported?

Linux (x86-64) and Windows (x86-64). A macOS version is coming soon.

What hardware does the recording feature need?

An audio interface supporting ALSA or PortAudio. Native DSD recording requires a device supporting DSD_U32_BE via ALSA. DoP mode can transport DSD through any interface supporting 176.4kHz.

How compatible are DST compression and large files?

DST is compliant with the SACD ISO standard. The compression ratio depends on material complexity, typically reaching 50–60%. DST-compressed output in DFF format is supported. Recommended for archiving and SACD authoring.

Can it be used with the DpdoAudioTools GUI?

Yes. DpdoAudioTools invokes the DpdoEngine CLI internally for conversion and recording. You can also use the CLI standalone for batch processing or server-side automation.
