to my ears digital audio does not sound natural? something is wrong!


lf Digital audio is man made how can I expect the brain to recognize it as natural sounding?

lf I re-encode digital audio with the earths natural frequencies will the brain now recognize it as a natural source allowing the digital audio to harmonize with my brain creating an entirely new listening experience?

This might sound crazy however it sounds perfectly logical to me so i went to the park at 3am to record the frequencies of nature using the built in mic on my cheap mp3 player in wav 16/44 and uploaded the wav file to my pc and while the file from the park was playing on my windows media player i made a simple copy of a commercial digital album flac 16/44 on my desktop and here are the results using the same audio source.

commercial release flac 16/44 http://u.pc.cd/PmXctalK

commercial release  with earth frequencies http://u.pc.cd/7d7

lt may be the placebo effect and i'm hearing what i want to hear however i think the music is now in harmony with my ears?

It's common knowledge that as you move up the audio food chain, digital audio sounds better.  Trying to make a statement about all digital audio systems based only on a single sample of a relatively (by high-end audiophile standards) low price/performance component is meaningless.

The OP too general a term "natural" is not an absolute, but a subjective judgement.  For instance, as one moves up the digital audio food chain, there will come a point where some will say it sounds "natural" while others would disagree.  Also, how would I know if we injected some "tube magic" into the digital audio chain whether it would satisfy the OP "natural" requirement?
