Reimagine your DAC with PGGB•IT!a professional Windows application for offline upsampling using renowned PGGB technology. PGGB•IT! works with local music files, processing them to high resolution WAV, FLAC or DSF for playback. If you listen exclusively to streamed music (as from Tidal or Qobuz) you will need to obtain digital versions to take advantage of PGGB•IT!. AudioWise is a Licensee Partner of remastero (www.remastero.com) and PGGB•IT! is updated with the latest PGGB core software libraries to ensure quality and performance.

PGGB•IT! incorporates many powerful features:

  • PCM up to 64fS or DSD up to DSD1024 to/from any sample rate or bit depth
  • Multi-threaded modeless user interface with a separate console/logging window
  • Robust and efficient .NET application
  • Simultaneous processing of tracks on performant multi-core CPU systems (i7, i9, Core Ultra, Xeon, Ryzen, EPYC, etc.)
  • Azure (Microsoft cloud) processing using powerful virtual machines
  • FFMPEG processing of audio and video files including multi-channel (up to 7.1)
  • Gain (volume) control: automatic, peak normalize, fixed
  • 100% lossless equalization using imported convolution (WAV), parametric (TXT) or an integrated 4-band EQ
  • Folder monitoring for automatic processing of added files
  • Keyboard remote control for headless operation
  • Preview/analyze to assist with workflow and settings
  • Full support for international language filenames, including double-byte Japanese

PGGB•IT! is available in LITE, PLUS or MAX versions - differentiated by precision(bits), DSD Support and Azure Compute:

PGGB•IT!  Precision DSD Support Azure Compute
LITE 64,107 None No
PLUS 64,107,128 128,256 No
MAX 64,107,128,256 128,256,512,1024 Yes

Higher precision processing greatly reduces digital artifacts (noise floor) and improves reconstruction accuracy. Refer to the plot below showing the error energy spectrum for PGGB sawtooth waveform reconstruction at varying precision.

A download link will accompany your order - please provide an email so you can be notified of updates. The LITE version is price-discounted with 'DEMO' access to PLUS or MAX features with a restriction of 3 minutes per track. Order LITE to evaluate PGGB•IT! then obtain a paid license to PLUS or MAX for unrestricted operation. Include the PGGB•IT! Hardware ID (reported in the user interface) in the notes of your upgrade order or just send an email to dan@audiowise.ca.

The latest version is 7.1.76. User Guide is here. If you are upgrading from an older licensed version, just order/download the current LITE version and your license key will be recognized.

NOTICE PGGB•IT! uses dynamic PowerShell/.NET scripting technology that is erroneously flagged as malware by Norton, BitDefender or TotalAV.  This false positive is due to over-zealous virus detection heuristics. Windows Defender Antivirus (standard with Windows) and other antivirus applications are fine. PGGB•IT! is safe to use: it is built on a virus-free computer with virus-free commercial tools. While waiting for Norton, BitDefender or TotalAV to update their database and/or detection algorithms, please do the following:

  1. During PGGB•IT! installation, select the option for 'Open Anyway' after the antivirus warning/action dialog. This will allow PGGB•IT! installation to proceed.
  2. Update the antivirus app 'Exclusions' tab. If you have installed PGGB•IT! in the default location and <user> is the name of the user account, please add two exclusions:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Programs\PGGB-IT!\*
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp\.net\PGGB-IT!\*

For example, with Norton on my test system, I have set the following:
