[SurroundSound] Re: How to identify

I don't use dBpoweramp (Xrecode3 is a far more capable audio conversion program, available in GUI and command-line forms), but I suspect it is not doing the FLAC conversion correctly.  First thing to check is, open the FLAC file in MediaMonkey and check whether it does have Track or Album ReplayGain (MediaMonkey has columns to show those values, if you have enabled them).  But if neither of those tags is present, then dBpoweramp is probably doing something else wrong (like normalising the audio).

I would then suggest you use the official FLAC converter, namely FLAC (which is free), and though essentially a command-line program, comes with a GUI front-end.  You just need to be careful to turn off the ReplayGain option, which (I think) is on by default.

Hello all,

I did download a track from a dts newsgroup to try it out.

Convert with dbpoweramp a DTS.wav file without ReplayGain or any other DSP effect activated.

The original DTS file played perfect with vlc (use normally only for movies) but the converted  FLAC file was only noise with VLC, like a DTS file with Winamp.
