Tascam has released a free program designed to convert and edit hi-res DSD: DSF, DSDIFF, and PCM/.Wav files.

I don't know anything about it - I've downloaded it to see what potential benefits it might have for me - but I haven't actually used it yet, so don't kill the messenger. I'm posting this strictly as a forum/public service announcement. ;)

(installation note: when I installed it, it seemed to "hang" for a little bit on the "finishing installation" status bar. I was just about to go to Task Manager to manually stop the process, thinking it had frozen, when it did actually finish the install on its own... so be patient at the end of the install, it may take a few minutes.)

For DSD, it supports 2.8, 5.6, and 11.2 MHz, and for PCM/Wav, it will support rates from 44.1kHz up to 384kHz, at 16, 24 and 32 bit. (Further details below)
