You can adjust the following settings from the record mode
(REC MODE) screen.
Project recording format
(New Project Type)
WAV (BWF)
This is an uncompressed linear PCM multi-bit audio file
format. The sampling frequency and bit-depth are selected
by the PCM Format settings described below.
The name is an abbreviation of Wave File Format (file
extension .wav). This format is compatible with the Broad-
cast Wave Format (file extension .wav) used for broadcast
audio.
A higher sampling rate and bit depth allows higher-quality
recording, but will require more hard disk space.
DFF (DSDIFF)
This is a 1-bit audio file format widely used in professional
audio devices for SACD (Super Audio CD) production.
The name stands for Direct Stream Digital Interchange File
Format (file extension .dff).
DSF
This is a 1-bit audio file format used in some "VAIO (A
Sound Reality deployment model)" personal computers
made by Sony.
The name stands for DSD Stream File (file extension .dsf).
WSD
This is a 1-bit audio file format as defined by the "1-bit
Audio Consortium."
The name stands for Wideband Single-bit Data (file exten-
sion .wsd).
Settings when WAV (BWF) is selected
If you select WAV (BWF), you can also select the sampling
frequency and bit depth. At sampling frequencies of 88.2 kHz
and higher, the bit depth will always be 24.
Settings when DFF, DSF, or WSD are
selected
If you've selected a 1-bit format, use the 1bit DSD Format: Fs
setting to specify the sampling frequency.
In order to synchronize with a digital audio device other than
the MR-2000S, both devices must be synchronized to the same
clock (
→p.29).
