Has anyone tried this software?  http://www.cirlinca.com/

One of the things it can do is burn a 24/96 music DVD from a standard CD.  I am curious if anyone has tried this software and if there is a difference in performance between the original CD and burned DVD.  I could not get the software to work but that is not unusual for me.

I use Cirlinca and only play discs burned with it at home anymore. You can also burn 24/192. The discs are played as DVD-A on universal players and use can use either the digital out or the players built in DAC. I use EAC to burn CD's to a .wav file and then burn the .wav to DVD using Cirlinca.

24/96 yields two hours of audio on a single DVD and 24/192 yields one hour.

A word of warning: Use high quality blank DVD (Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim) otherwise you get a large number of coasters.

HMMMMM,  I am not getting coasters.  I get all the way through the final build and then I get an error message when the program tries to burn.  I do not think it even starts to burn so the Maxell disks do not become coasters.

I was trying to find out if the program was an improvement over standard CDs.  Not sure how much more blood, sweat, and tears I want to put into the project.

You can't improve the original file if that's what your trying to do.   If it's oversampling your after, a hardware solution is the better answer. That or by doing by using your computer as a source with Foobar and possibly Secret Rabbit Code...


I've tried using that program with great results. (The DVD-A proggie)  I do needle drops on occasion of some of my rare LPs. If it has a major fault, it's not being able to do go gappless.   

Someone a while back on the Hoffman forum, suggested I might try Audio DVD Creator.   So I did.  I love it.  No need for a DVD-A player. Any DVD player should be able to play back the 24 bit 96kHz files.  I haven't tried this to see if it can burn gappless but I'm guessing it probalby cant' either. Sample rates don't go higher than that but for needle drops, it suits me just fine.
