Do we really need anything greater than 24/96? Opinions?

Please keep your rooting to yourself. 🐷

One assumes you meant intellectual property. Probably a Freudian slip.

Not a slip, just checking you. You passed, I continue rooting for you. Give me some credit, I am the only one.

Sincerely,

The third problem is produced by scattered laser light that fills up the entire inside of the CD transport and is picked up by the photodetector as real signal. I’m sorry to have to be the one to say this but you’re only hearing 50% of what’s on the CD if you’re listening to stock off the shelf systems. 

I am sorry, but this is not at all correct. If what you said were true, you would getting muted sections of tracks all the time.

Also, it would be impossible to get accurate rips from CDs using software like dBpoweramp with AccurateRip. Finally, accurate rips would sound phenomenally better than what you could get from a CD transport. While often do sound better, there are other reasons for this other than  this alleged 50% missing data.

CD transports are inherently accurate. If they were not, it would be impossible to read text data from a CD drive in or attached to your computer with any reliability.

>>>>>>Actually, you do not get muted sections all the time. You don’t get muted sections any of the time. The scattered light problem produces distortion because the system substitutes null bits when it doesn’t know what else to do. That particular distortion disappears when scattered light is eliminated. You’re just used to hearing the distortion, that’s all. But it’s always been there. I’m not saying scattered light is the only problem with CD playback.

Also, it would be impossible to get accurate rips from CDs using software like dBpoweramp with AccurateRip. Finally, accurate rips would sound phenomenally better than what you could get from a CD transport. While often do sound better, there are other reasons for this other than this alleged 50% missing data.

>>>>>>I did not say scattered light was the only problem, remember? So, would you accept that 25% of the data is missing? This is all system dependent and listener dependent. I can guarantee you will hear what I do. But if only you could hear what I hear with my ears.

CD transports are inherently accurate. If they were not, it would be impossible to read text data from a CD drive in or attached to your computer with any reliability.

>>>>>See, that’s my point? They’re not inherently accurate! They are ALL susceptible to seismic vibration, internal vibration, scattered light interference, vibration of the CD itself. The computer analogy is not correct. The CD player is not like a computer. That is the oldest false argument in the world. You were fooled into a false sense of security by the marketing team at Philips and SONY - “Perfect Sound Forever!”

Porscheracer,


You don't fall into the target market of "people who don't think for themselves". It doesn't matter how right you are, you will never get an answer that is based in fact OR see any data to back up the claim, data that is extremely easy to generate.
