| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system If anyone wants to see this it’s at Head Fi. Thread entitled Watts Up…? | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system His response is interesting: ”I am afraid I don't know the answer to that for sure - apart from knowing conventional EQ is subjectively flawed. I know a lot of recording engineers prefer analogue desks (using DACs and ADCs with analogue EQ), sayi... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system “So Robb. Can I infer here that digital is not all the way there yet when it comes to tonally adding a treble boost, as compared with best studio analog hardware? Specifically talking about treble boost here, the “air band” “ The above is my foll... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system “The problem with 64 bit floating point is that as the signal gets smaller, the resolution changes, and this creates noise floor modulation. OK so we are talking about over 300dB of innate resolution, but this is subjectively significant noise flo... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system My approach to all this would remain digital for room correction (mids down). Digital or analog for bass tone shaping/ bass boost. ANALOG ONLY for treble tone boost. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system The short second paragraph quoted also suggests that digital EQ just isn’t all the way there yet. The treble frequencies are hardest to EQ right, and while I’m no electrical engineer I’d be willing to bet they’re the one section of the frequency b... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Sounds to me like Rob would disagree with you. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @mijostyn i found the following post on Head Fi by Rob Watts himself. Founder of Chord Electronics: ”PC's normal calculation is by 64b floating point (FP). There are serious perception problems with floating point as it innately creates noise f... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @mijostyn ive directly compared treble boost on neutron music player (also 64 bit processing) with Charter Oak analog. I liked treble better on CO in this scenario as well. Is neutron music player’s processing as resolving as DEQX? | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Very interesting. Rob Watts has answered questions like this and has made himself very available on head fi. Will take this to there. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Both said they could NOT believe, above. Sorry. Don’t know how to edit | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Another anecdote. My wife is Peruvian. We had a couple visiting from Peru and the husband was a lover of mountain folk music as well as the Mexican rock band Mana. I played some of the first by his guidance on Qobuz. He was deeply impressed by the... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Am though impressed as heck with the knowledge base of some of you guys😊 | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system To all claiming to chase the unobtainable unicorn, you can get good enough with the right high end AND processing choices. Case in point. My small family of 3 had the good fortune to experience NY Phil play Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets ... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system “Indeed, Chord’s new proprietary 104-bit processor has opened the Mojo 2 up to a smattering of new features” It’s in there. Can you now address the query? 104 bit vs 64 bit? Just processing superiority of one methodology vs the other, stripping... |
