Description

Tested Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon SACD on this, and get a loud persistent hissing noise throughout.

Using Windows 10 (2004) 64bit Matrix 19.0 version and the 0.1.2 SACD encoder addon to an Onkyo HT-R390 reciever.

Attached a sample of the issue.

sacd-hiss.zip

Edit: Hiss goes away if set the Output Configuration to Fixed rather than Optimized or Best Match. And also set Limit Sampling rate to 96 or below (higher and it hisses again). Hope that helps in tracking down issue as didnt need to do this on the Leia build.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the hissing with the attached sacd-hiss.zip sample on Windows 10 using the SACD encoder addon, comparing Optimized or Best Match output with Fixed. Check behavior at sampling rates above and below 96 kHz; done means SACD playback no longer produces persistent hiss with the affected output settings.
