PGGB•IT! Offline Upsampling

Regular price $199.00 $0.00 Sale

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, DSF or WV format compatible with dedicated servers and playback software. If you listen exclusively to streamed music (as from Tidal or Qobuz) you will need to download versions of your music to take advantage of PGGB•IT!. Offline upsampling is beneficial for sound quality—improved reconstruction accuracy and, versus real-time upsampling, reduced RF noise in the signal chain. 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:

  • Output up to PCM 64fS and DSD2048 from any format, sample rate or bit depth
  • FFmpeg processing of audio and video files including multi-channel (up to 7.1)
  • 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 Compute using using powerful virtual machines and pay-as-you-go billing from Microsoft
  • Gain (volume) control: automatic, peak normalize, fixed
  • 100% lossless equalization with adjustable (linear, minimum) phase response: imported convolution (WAV), imported parametric (TXT) or a 4-band fixed
  • 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 Output Support and Azure Compute:
