| 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... | |
| speakers for 24/96 audio And if they do sound so unpleasant, why when I listen to higher res stuff through a Benchmark DAC it doesn't sound noticeably better? You can buy Tom Petty Mojo in CD or in HD and compare. There is a difference but most of the difference is due to... | |
| Hrmm..24/96 Deluxe Ed of Damn the Torpedos The anthology box CD set has been compressed. You can read about this on line. I have the compressed CD's AND the bluray of the anthology which is uncompressed (as the band hears it). I am afraid you prefer the sound of compressed music rather tha... | |
| Hrmm..24/96 Deluxe Ed of Damn the Torpedos Eniac26The reason you have to use the volume is because the dynamic range is preserved. 99.99% of all pop/rock is crushed by compressors so that there is no dynamic range left at all. So just crank it - on a good setup that can handle the large dy... | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... depeche mode construction time again was amazing. I'll never forget the sound of the nadaswaram on Everything counts... Synth pop at it's most innovative.Fwiw I think the remix of everything counts ruined it. | |
| Hrmm..24/96 Deluxe Ed of Damn the Torpedos I found it extremely good - better than MFSL. The clarity is superb. I use the same speakers as Tom Petty and the same as his sound engineer Ryan Ulyate -maybe that has something to do with it? | |
| Is the Accuton driver that good? He stipulated a"good" driver(not any driver) and he`s right, a good speaker is the result of the total package,Yes, you are correct. I stand corrected. For some reason I read, "any good speaker" rather than "any good driver" - anyway it read like... |
