# Descript DAC 44 kHz (RLX staging)

DAC 44 kHz vocoder weights paired with Parler-TTS on RLX.

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| **Hub id** | [`eugenehp/parler-dac`](https://huggingface.co/eugenehp/parler-dac) |
| **Kind** | Staging redistrib of an upstream checkpoint for RLX runners. |
| **RLX crate** | [`rlx-parlertts`](https://github.com/MIT-RLX/rlx-models/tree/main/crates/rlx-parlertts) |
| **Upstream** | https://huggingface.co/descript/dac_44khz |

## Quick start

```bash
hf download eugenehp/parler-dac --local-dir .
cargo run -p rlx-parlertts --release -- --dac-dir .
```

## File highlights

- `model.safetensors` (292.4 MiB)
- `parler-dac.f16.gguf` (146.2 MiB)
- `config.json` (271 B)

## Do not use as the main runtime pack

These files may be present for historical / staging reasons but are **not** the supported RLX load path:

- `parler-dac.f16.gguf`

Community `*.f16.gguf` / LM-only Q4 packs are format wraps — they are not drop-in replacements for the RLX primary file above.

## Run with RLX

Clone [rlx-models](https://github.com/MIT-RLX/rlx-models), place this repo under `weights/tts/parler-dac` (or pass the path explicitly), then:

```bash
cargo run -p rlx-parlertts --release -- --dac-dir .
```

## License

## Redistrib note

This Hub repo exists so RLX recipes have a stable fetch target. When you only need the upstream checkpoint, prefer the Upstream link above.
