What’s NEW in dBpoweramp Reference Portable:
New Resampler! we have worked hard for the last 3 months to bring this to fruition. The resampler is called ARDFTSRC and has many advantages over SSRC, which is one of the best resamplers out there. ARDFTSRC is able to specify arbitrary sample rates to convert to, such as 123456Hz. New global options for resampler used (Control Center >> Adavanced), also options for Maximum Bandwidth and Minimum phase (less pre-ringing) options available. The DSP effect Resample allows selection of modes to override the global setting.
