Data Disc Playback Issue On PST

Audio Components DACs
4

This is what I found out during early day of beta testing last year.

  1. usb/ data disk play back follows the file created time not the filename order. Basically, FIFO. - first copy in, will be first playback.

  2. also did a non scientific “response time” counting from disk start to spin to the display show track

  • Music CD. 13 tracks. 7 seconds
  • Music SACD 12 tracks 7 seconds
  • DVD+RW. 4 tracks 22 seconds
  • DVD-R. 18 tracks. 17 seconds
  • DVD+R. 32 tracks 57 seconds.

In my opinion, PST is primary designed as SACD/CD transport for DSDAC. And with Octave Music Player | PS Audio in the pipeline, supporting the music data file playback in PST is secondary.
