| speakers for 24/96 audio What is the principal advantage of higher sampling rates, if it is not better temporal resolution? None above redbook CD except it allows cheaper and better filtering which may improve very slightly the audible band. However, higher sample rates ... | |

| speakers for 24/96 audio Byron,I appreciate your questions. You are definitely curious enough to look into this and I commend you on your interest.However, poor Kunchur seems a very confused individual.His test simply shows how two pure tones can interfere with eachother ... | |
| speakers for 24/96 audio I agree with Al. This shows how good we are at hearing sounds and nothing to do with temporal resolution.The wavelength at 7KHz is 5cm. Therefore in order to get the direct sound completely out of phase at the listener one need only move one speak... | |
| speakers for 24/96 audio Byron,There is no solid evidence for this - so it is indeed controversial. If a mere few microseconds were important then speaker and listener position would be dependent down to a millimeter or less than a tenth of an inch. It is generally accept... | |
| New Giant Television Chad, Agreed that is what the ladies always tell me. | |
| speakers for 24/96 audio That said, I think we are all in agreement that the main usefulness of 24 bits is in the creation of the recording. Agreed.However, I would add that high resolution recordings are targeted at audiophiles - so this new high resolution media is use... | |
| speakers for 24/96 audio Al,Glad to hear we can all agree. Sony and Philips engineers did a great job with redbook CD, it would indeed be hard to go against all their research. I agree that transients close to the Nyquist are going to be the most challenging to reproduce ... | |
| What Song Reminds You of Your First Love? The Chauffeur - Duran DuranGreat song. Great lyrics. Inscrutable yet deeply profound. | |
| speakers for 24/96 audio Most sounds last at least a hundredth of a second or longer. My point is that even for a 15 KHz sound you are likely to be hearing 15000/100 = 150 cycles. It is irrelevant that the amplitude of a few cycles may not be graphically represented perfe... | |
| Why are HD downloads so expensive? I can't believe that people are complaining about price! Isn't this an audiophiles forum?Go out and put your money where your mouth is and actually support higher quality music by buying from HD tracks!Oh and stop stealing music through torrents -... | |
| speakers for 24/96 audio That video is wrong. It is showing a stair step signal which is NOT what the output of a DAC would look like. The output will be smoothed by a filter in order to eliminate all that horrible spurious high frequency signal from the stair steps. The ... | |
| speakers for 24/96 audio On the S/N discussion, this is usually around 100 dB on good gear. I am certain this is achievable because my speakers can hit about 112 dB SPL at the listening position (12 feet back) as measured with a SPL meter whilst I cannot hear any sound (w... | |
| speakers for 24/96 audio . Closer you get to Nyquist frequency the more samples you need to properly reconstruct original waveform - not possible to do for short high frequency sounds. Not so. The waveform is perfectly reconstructed. The mathematics are quite rigorous. Th... | |
| speakers for 24/96 audio To add to my last comment...from a purely "technical" perspective I would agree that CD quality is more than adequate as a playback medium. The problem is NOT the CD media itself but more a problem with what the producer and mastering do to the mu... |
