| Does the quality of a digital signal matter? Shadorne - I'm not sure how this interpolation works. Is it happening also when I use program that rips CD as data (like MAX) - I hope not. Do you know?Not sure if the software or drive will conceal an error or not but from what I understand - on... | |
| Does the quality of a digital signal matter? I knew when I posted it,... I would get that answer.... All I can say to you is, have you tried it? I suggest you try it for yourself. The science is pretty clear on this. If you suffer issues then the difference between the disc material is caus... | |
| Does the quality of a digital signal matter? Kijanki,The Reed Solomon interleave is actually quite robust however CD players will indeed "interpolate" as a last resort when data is missingIt is true that you might not know when your CD player is interpolating unless the disc is quite badly d... | |
| Does the quality of a digital signal matter? Not to open up another can worms, but there is differences in sound heard from a blank CDR burned on a home computer and one burned on a stand alone CDR recorder. And yes even when using "Exact Copy". Since the CD copy should normally be a bit pe... | |
| When does analog compete with digital? Jferreir,I suggest you move the left speaker out of the corner and both speakers away from refractive edges of the desk. It will cost you nothing and will make a huge improvement in imaging and sound. | |
| Does the quality of a digital signal matter? It seems to me that the bit stream speed is independent of the bit content. If this is correct than should not the jitter be either constant of possible a function of the disc itself (like radial position or burn/pressing quality)? That was assum... | |
| New Tom Petty Regarding the Mojo BD, dynamics are similar to Tom Waits Heart Attack and Vine CD. Recordings of such high quality are extremely rare these days. Some may not like the "live" sound - so opinions can vary - no doubt some will hate it.Although, it m... | |
| New Tom Petty I just received the Bluray of Mojo and it comes with a link for a FLAC stereo 24bit 48KHz download.It is better than the CD, same EQ and mix and obviously the same studio master but there are more dynamics. While the CD was very good, the Bluray i... | |
| Does the quality of a digital signal matter? Jitter is not a problem with "digital" part of digital (the robust part). Jitter is part of the analog problem with digital and can be regarded as a D to A problem (or, in the studio an A to D problem). It is an analog timing problem whereby disto... | |
| Does the quality of a digital signal matter? If Shadorne's argument is correct then why should the quality of the DAC or CD player matter? I think I covered this: In fact the biggest source of quality differences with digital audio is the conversion to analog - this is where differences are... | |
| Does the quality of a digital signal matter? CD's are not 0s and 1s. They are pits burnt into the metal layer and are measured for lenght by the lazer and then converted into a digital format. These pits (or the transition) represent bits: a 1 or a 0. All digital information must be stored ... | |
| Does the quality of a digital signal matter? This is something laypeople never seem to grasp. The entire advantage of digital is just that = "signal quality matters much less than analog".This is a FACT.The idea of representing information as 1's and 0's means that information can be stored ... | |
| why aren't ribbon tweeters more popular? Agree with Ojgalli statement of "Downsides delicate, easily overdriven, higher distortion, beaming dispersion pattern."These are well known and accepted drawbacks to ribbons and it answers the OP's question of why they aren't used as widely as o... | |
| Anyone tried the Benchmark This is typical studio equipment. So you will hear the music as intended by the mastering engineer. Some mastering engineers (like Doug Sax) use tubes so the sound of vocals is already sweetened and the drums may have more weight/punch from the ad... | |
| Verity Audio midrange drivers? I have been enjoying the Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations for several months now Agreed they have a wonderful laid back smooth sound. Soft mids and some warmth in the bass. Interestingly Redbook can sound as good as SACD to me when it is well recor... |
