TAK DirectShow Source Filter 0.0.1.6

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). Using this filter you'll be able to use ".tak" files as you use regular ".mp3" or ".wav" audio files, for reading and playing. 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 media player supporting DirectShow.

Features of TAK DirectShow Source Filter:
- Playback TAK audio files in any DirectShow Player (Windows Media Player, MediaPlayerClassic, …)
- Now supporting TAK 2.2.0 (multi-channel audio, …)
- Support UNICODE filenames and Sample Rates > 44.1 KHz
- Now correctly works in Windows 7 64bit ! (and other 64bit Windows versions)

TAK (Tom's lossless Audio Kompressor) is a lossless audio compressor which promises compression performance similar to Monkey's Audio "High" and decompression speed similar to FLAC, developed by Thomas Becker.
