Hires FLAC files are identified as 320

[Carlos Osornio]

Newly processed files, 16 & 24 bits, 44100 and 48000 are being identified wrong, as fakes. Checked them with spectrum, spek and MediaInfo... Reverted to b5.4 for testing with the same result.

Could you please upload the spectrum here or send me that file to [e-mail] for further invesigations?

Hey Carlos,

thanks for the file!

From what I can see, FTF is right: This file is NOT a true 48kHz/24 bit file.

A true 48 kHz file should show a clean specrum up to 24 kHz.
But as you can see in the spectrum, there is a clear cutoff at 22 kHz
This is a strong indicator that the source was a regular 44.1 kHz CD rip.

This does NOT mean, that it is bad quality - the cutoff frequency of 22 kHz is a good indicator that it is a high quality file. But to be honest, it looks like a fake: It claims to has a samplerate of 48kHz but it is only 44.1 KHz.

Please refer to the user guide available at https://fakinthefunk.net/userguide

Since the file still is good, you might want to accept this: That's why there is the option "allow cutoffs above ... Hz" in the settings dilaog. From my point of view, files >= 19800 Hz are good.
