Dither Noise Shaping Filter This is based on MT-r Dither using Triangular Noise with the choice of None, High
Pass or Equal Loudness
SRC filter type For appropriate formats the drop-down offers the choice of :
Linear Phase Features constant group delay, thanks to the linear phase, and has a sym-
metric impulse response, but also longer rings. This offers the best preser-
vation of stereo image. There will be a minimum of phase distortion from
the anti-aliasing filter.
Minimum Phase Features an asymmetric impulse response with minimum phase response.
This gives the lowest amount of phase variation along the frequency spec-
trum and allows slightly better results for transient sounds.
Apodizing Offers the steepest response around the Nyquist point and linear phase. It
offers the best of both worlds for the about the same computational effort
as the 2 other designs. There is a steep transition band in the LPF filter using
an almost linear phase. Arguably this is the best compromise between lin-
ear and minimum phase types.
Sigma Delta Type For appropriate formats the drop-down offers the choice of:
SDM D
SDM Trellis E (8paths)
SDM Trellis E (16paths)
SDM Trellis E (24paths)
SDM Trellis E (32paths)
Click on OK to add the format to the Output list and close the dialog.
Click on Cancel to close the dialog without adding a new format to the output list.
Settings for (format name) export
One contiguous audio file + Cue File When ticked a single contiguous audio file and a Cue file will be generated.
Unicode (UTF8) encoded CUE Sheet When ticked a Unicode CUE Sheet is also generated. (CDEx generates CUE
files this way while ExactAudioCopy uses ASCII/multibyte coding.)
One audio file per track When ticked an audio file is produced for each track in the Album.
Include Pause When ticked (default) CD pauses are included. Untick to produce CD Pause
free exports.
Compression Setting :
The slider varies the compression settings.
For FLAC the choice is on a scale between 0 - Fast Encoding and 8 - Best compression.
For Ogg Vorbis the choice is on a scale between ~64kbps - Lower quality - smaller files and ~500kbps - Higher
quality - bigger files.
For MTFF the choice is between Not Compressed and Lossless compressed.
For LC-AAC the choice is on a scale between 8kbps - Lower quality - smaller files and 320kbps - Higher quality
- bigger files.
For MP3-ABR the choice is on a scale between 32kbps - Lower quality - smaller files and 320kbps - Higher
quality - bigger files.
File Naming and Destination
Contiguous audio files convention :
For a Single contiguous file the file naming can be specified by typing in the field and tags (e.g. <TagName>) can
be used (information will be retrieved from the Disc info. Use upper/lower case for tag names to change the
default capitalization :
• <FileFormat> When substituted by the name of the output format a subfolder is created for that format.
• <DiscTitle> Album title
