Resampling my music collection

Onhwy61, this is not rocket science. Any other DSP process will do its own resampling if it encounters 44.1 kHz audio, and the quality of that resampling will be entirely unpredictable.

That's nonsensical. Even if your statement were true, which it's not, then wouldn't it be more elegant to find some software based DSP that also uses a quality SRC?

Dnewhous, do explain this statement of yours as you seem to have lost me w/ your argument.
According to me, any other DSP process could be, say, a Meridian 808 CD player that upsamples to 176.4KHz OR, say, a Emm Labs CDP that also upsamples to CD format & even to DSD format. These are just 2 products that come to mind ASAP. what is

entirely unpredictable

about their resampling process?? Also, what makes you think that the software you will get your hands on will have some hidden gem software algorithm in it that has not yet been incorporated in these 1st-class products??
It's entirely possible that I'm missing something here.
Thanx.

I didn't know this thing had a quote feature.

Learn to read by inference. By "any other DSP process" I mean any other software based DSP process, and I'm obviously excluding resampling when I use the phrase.
More explicitly, "any DSP process that is software based and not resampling," but it isn't elegant to write that out.

I don't really understand the question. I think that Adobe Audition has the best resampling based on the link that was provided earlier in this thread. That's what I intend to use.

Adobe Audition can do de-emphasis with the Q10 plugin, but Q10 is only 32 bit. I have resigned myself to doing de-emphasis with sox, spitting out a 24 bit file, and then resampling it with Adobe Audition. Of course, not every CD I own has pre-emphasis, but a lot of the best ones do.

then wouldn't it be more elegant to find some software based DSP that also uses a quality SRC?

Wouldn't it be more powerful to use the best software resampler there is so I can then use whatever DSP I want?
