SARACON - sampling rate conversion software for Windows ®
for PCM and DSD

Finally - the last Sampling Rate Converter you may ever need: SARACON from Weiss.

A versatile multi-channel file format and sampling rate conversion tool of utmost quality. All standard sampling rates between 44.1kHz and 384kHz are supported. And DSD too. POW-R dithering is also included of course. Runs on Windows platforms.

(If you rather prefer a Mac version, email weiss@weiss.ch
