Pioneer 4600 mp3 decoder quality
I recently bought a Pioneer DEH-4600 unit. I have been converting many
audio CD's into MP3 and have noticed a considerable hiss on some files, even tho I convert them all at 192 kbs. The same tracks play without the same hiss on my PC sound, so I am thinking it has something to do with the Pioneer's MP3 decoding engine. Has anyone experienced something like this before? What bitrate dou guys usually use? Any ideas will be appreciated |

Well for one thing, make sure you aren't burning them with variable bit
rate encoding, and try those "suspect" songs. Let me know how it goes, and if it fixes your problem. -Buckshot- 2 12" Sony Explodes Custon Dual 12 Sealed enclosure JL VR 6.5's Up front Pioneer 6x9's Out back Eclipse EA2122 Legacy La1080 E-mail me at Jasonc87(atter)Comcast(dot)Net Sean Scott wrote: "elgato65" wrote in message oups.com...

I'm not talking about skipping or track problems or those situations
where a damaged disc cna cause problems in the encoding. I am talking about the hissing, a noticeable high frequency noise that seems to be added by the decoding process. Sean, I always use CBR LAME encoding. I will try making a couple of WMA just to test the player out, since it is not my format of choice. |

I'm aware of what you meant. But if your player is having problems
decoding VBR songs, standard/non varial bitrate, MAY play better. -Buckshot- 2 12" Sony Explodes Custon Dual 12 Sealed enclosure JL VR 6.5's Up front Pioneer 6x9's Out back Eclipse EA2122 Legacy La1080 E-mail me at Jasonc87(atter)Comcast(dot)Net elgato65 wrote: I'm not talking about skipping or track problems or those situations where a damaged disc cna cause problems in the encoding.

I like it just fine really. I have had Kenwood, Sony and JVC units in
the past (none mp3 players tho) and several Pioneer models. They have been my favorite choice so far, both in terms of quality, durability and features. Hope it helps |
