Decoding/encoding DSD with foobar2000

2017-09-11 10:06:48

Now it is possible to encode DSD audio with latest WavPack, here I found the tutorial:
https://diyaudioheaven.wordpress.com/digital/pc-software/compressing-dsd-files-with-wavpack-5/

And I wonder is it possible to do the same with foobar2000 converter? As I see, although I've enabled DSD-only decoding of SACD-R images and disabled the post-processing, the foobar2000 converter gives me 24 bit 352.8 kHz files at the output. Is it possible for foobar2000 converter to keep audio in 1-bit format or convert it to DoP (24/176.4) to have an ability of encoding them to WavPack?

Here is instruction how to convert DSD to DoP with foobar2000 - http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=119364.0 (paragraph 3). But DoP is almost incompressible.

Audio path in foobar2000 supports only PCM.
