DSF files compressed with WavPack play back as "8/88.2"?
#17
A .wv file can contain other format besides DSD in theory but in practice I would think either DSD or WAV is the most likely. The OP's sample .wv files are about 1/2 the size of the .dff files that wvunpack extracts from them so I can see the allure if storage-bound but I haven't worried about the size of audio files since I stopped using Walkman-like devices. Smile 

Another mediainfo curiosity for me concerns the cover art. The OP's sample .wv files have metadata in both ID3 and APEv2 tag sets at the end. Their APEv2 tag sets includes album cover data properly tagged COVER ART (FRONT). Despite that, mediainfo doesn't report that the files have any cover art.

I note that the current version of mediainfo available on the mediaarea.net site is 23.07 while moOde currently inherits v20.9 from RaspbiOS. If I get a chance today, I'll build 23.07 (complicated by the need for updating some supporting libraries) to see  what if anything is different.

Kent
