Frequently Asked Questions
What is WAV format?
WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is Microsoft's standard for uncompressed PCM audio. It's the most widely supported lossless audio format, compatible with virtually all devices and software.
Should I choose 16-bit or 24-bit?
24-bit provides greater dynamic range (144 dB vs 96 dB) and is ideal for professional work, archiving, or further processing. 16-bit is CD quality and sufficient for final listening copies. For DSD sources, 24-bit better preserves the original quality.
What sample rate should I use?
48 kHz is recommended for excellent quality and broad compatibility. 96 kHz preserves more of the original DSD high-frequency content and is ideal for archiving or professional use. 44.1 kHz provides CD-quality output.
How large will WAV files be?
WAV files are uncompressed and quite large. A 3-minute song at 48 kHz/16-bit will be about 30 MB. At 48 kHz/24-bit, it's ~50 MB. At 96 kHz/24-bit, it doubles to ~100 MB. This is much larger than compressed formats but preserves full quality.
DSD to WAV vs DSD to FLAC - which should I choose?
WAV offers universal compatibility and is perfect for editing or immediate playback. FLAC provides identical quality but with 40-50% smaller file sizes, better for archiving. Choose WAV for maximum compatibility, FLAC for efficient storage.
