Technical Quality Assessment
DTS Core: up to 1,509 kbps for 5.1 surround Proprietary format optimized for low-bandwidth streaming These technical characteristics influence how quality is preserved during conversion. For audio-to-audio conversions, Xonvert applies format-aware algorithms that respect the unique characteristics of both DTS Audio and RealAudio. Converting within the same category means most properties transfer naturally. Sample rate and bit depth are preserved during conversion. If the target format has limitations, Xonvert downsamples using high-quality dithering algorithms.
Audio conversion from DTS Audio to RealAudio focuses on preserving sonic fidelity while adapting to the target format's characteristics. Both formats use perceptual audio coding. The re-encoding applies RealAudio's compression algorithm, which may handle certain frequencies differently than DTS Audio's encoder.' Sample rate, bit depth, and channel layout are preserved when supported by the target format.
Bitrate consideration: For lossy RA output, Xonvert defaults to a high bitrate setting that preserves audio transparency. You can adjust the bitrate in the settings panel — higher values mean better quality but larger files.
