There is a laptop with Windows 8 and I have a Focusrite 2i4 for the ASIO side of things. Although it's a mere dual-core Pentium B processor which might have issues with the power required for Sonar.
Beside that, that would really upset my workflow transferring between systems. Admittedly I never bought Sonar on the premise of encoding DSD files. However with my recent introduction to DSD and PDM it got my curiosity. I always just thought it was something rich people used in their chauffeur-driven cars. Although I do have a couple Hybrid-SACD albums.
Thanks for the support and before someone corrects me, it is PDM (Pulse-density Modulation) which is not the same as PCM (Pulse Code Modulation).
I know because I seen that in a cracker.
One last edit:
I ran the same process on my laptop and it worked without any perceivable problems. So essentially when I want to want to offer an alternative method of download or archive things in a higher fidelity, I may be using this as a way to do it.
I'm using a portable FiiO player to play this stuff back and play it natively, so it's not a complete exercise in futility. Sorry for hi-jacking the thread. Anyway back to the original topic.
