Weiss Saracon Light - PCM Sampling Rate Converter for Mac/PC

Weiss Saracon Light 

Saracon - a versatile multichannel file format and sampling rate conversion tool of utmost sonic quality and unprecedented conversion speed. All standard sampling rates between 44.1kHz and 384kHz are supported, including DXD and DSD. DSD in both 2.8224 MHz and 5.6448 MHz variants. POW-R dithering is also standard procedure of course. Saracon runs on Windows or OSX platforms and comes in two variants: SARACON and SARACON-DSD. The latter also supports DSD conversion. SARACON is a batch processor working on source and destination files. It does not support streaming modes.
