Described how to convert FLAC to DSF, DFF (DSD high-resolution audio) files in audiophile quality via AuI ConverteR 48x44 software. Reviewed matters of optimal configuration for minimal price for your demands.
Look below configurations and user guide.
for:
playback audio files on:
digital audio player (DAP),

converting FLAC audio files
for playback on DSD DAC.
Multichannel and stereo
DSF sample rates DSD64/128/256/512/1024
FLAC sample rate up to 352/384 kHz
Auto loudness normalization
Remark: DSF audio file is high resolution DSD audio file format with bit-depth 1-bit and sample rates from 2.8 MHz (44 100 Hz x 64 = D64). Sample rates are multiply to 44100 Hz x 64: 5.6 MHz (44100 x 128 = D128), 11.2 MHz (44100 x 256 = D256), 22.5 MHz (44100 x 512 = D512), etc.
There is sigma delta modulation used that allow achieve high signal/noise ratio in useful audio band. Read more about PCM vs. DSD.
Audio quality of all AuI ConverteR’s editions is identical. There applied fully identical digital signal processing. The editions are distinguished in functional restrictions and available formats, sample rates, etc.
Provide studio quality of conversion FLAC to DSF (1-bit high-res) audio files.
Stereo and multichannel DSF and FLAC supported. Number of channels for source and target files is identical.
Transfer metadata (artist, album, track name, year, artworks) from source FLAC to target DSF is supported.
Optimized or non-optimized mode is selectable by user.

[Recommended] configuration to convert
FLAC, WAV, AIFF, mp3 other PCM to DSD files (DSF, DFF up to DSD128), WAV, AIFF, mp3, other PCM (up to 192 kHz, 24 bit, 32 bit float)

You can either buy unlimited-time license and pay for major updates (... 10.x > 11.x > 12.x > ... versions).
Also additional modules for extension of a functionality available for separate ordering...
As rule, DSD output is set -6 dB for 0 dB PCM input. It's headroom to protect against broken stability of DSD modulator due to overload. Read more...
AuI ConverteR's DSD output allows -0.4 dB for 0 dB PCM input, as default. The software has own original protection method. It doesn't fully solve the stability issue, but add overload tolerance for AuI's modulator.
If an input signal has very significant spectrum energy and AuI's modulator stability is broken (noise, silence, tone at output), it's need to attenuate output signal manually or set auto normalizing target level lesser up to several dB.
