use of ChatGPT for HIFI


I have been using this really cool AI tool to evaluate System issues and gear comparisons and I’m blown away by its ability to do this. And it’s freaking free for my needs at this point

I provided details of all the components in my system and it remembers it in its memory and refers to the strengths and weaknesses of my system when choosing new gear to be integrated.  It creates a history of all that’s been discussed and is able to integrate it better than anyone can.  I can easily update it for gear that I’ve left out.

The ability to retrieve really good details about components is astounding. It suggests and provides tailored charts comparing component strengths and weaknesses. Additionally it offers ideas on additional things to consider. 

The depth of what it’s able to do is simply astounding.

What are your experiences in using this groundbreaking tool?

I used ChatGPT and Grok to provide parametric EQs for my Roon using prompts like "provide me with roon parametric eq that will give me a warmer sound while maintaining 3d soundstage".  Both AIs weren't entirely accurate but I had a lot of fun trying out what they suggested.  As I am a complete parametric EQ beginner, the AIs provided a good learning experience as they explained what the frequency ranges do to the sound.  Out of curiosity, I uploaded the frequency response of my speakers to them and the results are still not what I wanted.  Ended up doing the parametric EQ myself with my learning.  Will be fun doing the same exercise when the new versions come out.

I tried Qobuz Connect for the first time on my SOTM streamer (after OS upgrade) and I was shocked by how lively the music became compared to my default Roon->HQPlayer 4->Main Router->Fiber Optics->Second Router->SOTM setup.  The music is one level up on 3D holographic sounding and I can hear the micro-details much easier without fatigue.  Compared to my Roon->HQPlayer setup which now sounded a lot recessed.  I wasn’t happy as just dropped $1K on lifetime Roon subscription for HQPlayer streaming convenience.  So I described my situation to ChatGPT4 and surprising it confirmed I wasn’t going crazy (debatable as I am in this hobby) and the reason why HQPlayer sound recessed (compared to Qobuz Connect) could be due to things like output level of HQPlayer (it suggested bumping up 6 db as I was streaming DSD512).  Also it said for my T+A DAC200 the sound is more flat at DSD256 compared to DSD512 so give DSD256 a try (no idea where it got that from and both Grok and Gemini was not able to confirm this hypothesis).  It also gave esoteric info like the buffer size of HQPlayer affects transients.  Lastly, it suggested 3 HQPlayer 4 filters that will give better holographic sound to try.  It sounded like a fan of HQPlayer 4 because it’s closing summary is HQPlayer 4 should still give better music after proper setup.
What it said could be all fluffy BS but it did give interesting options I haven’t thought of like output level of DSD.  Time to do more experimentation...

Unlike humans, AI have the capacity to access all information all at once to make connections that we mere mortals cannot i.e. the guy at your local hifi store.  You can either keep enjoying our horse and cart or embrace the future.  Unlike humans, AI can surpass human brain capacity and intelligence.  They are also immortals.  Mind control is real and well documented (look up the terrible experiments done by the 3 letter agency) and you don't need technology for that.  Town gossip anyone? It's human nature to want to control others.
