dsfTAKSource is a DirectShow push source filter for Tom�s lossless audio files
(TAK).
It performs decoding of .tak audio files using Tom's decoding library v 2.2.0
(tak_deco_lib.dll).
TAK (Tom�s lossless Audio Kompressor) is a
lossless audio compression algorithm and file format, developed by Thomas Becker ( http://thbeck.de/Tak/Tak.html ).
Audio compressed in a .TAK file requires about half the space required by
a .WAV file, but the quality remains the same, all the bits are the same when
playing, there is no loss in quality (lossless compression).
Encoding end decoding with Tom�s codec is very fast, with good compression
ratios. This is a good result for a lossless audio compression algorithm.
Tom�s package
for TAK codec does not provide a DirectShow filter, so you cannot play .tak
files in standard players such as Windows Media Player.
dsfTAKSource (actually a DirectShow source filter, wrapping tak_deco_lib.dll
library) provides this, so that you can play .tak file in any player supporting
DirectShow (not only WMP).
TAK compression
format is developed by Thomas Becker
( http://thbeck.de/Tak/Tak.html ).
Tom is active at Hydrogenaudio ( www.hydrogenaudio.org
).
