Frequency Responce HDCD vs SACD vs DVDA
What are the technical specs such as frequency responce and sampling
frequency between HDCD, SACD and DVDA. Whatever happened to HDCD and where can we find listing of releases on these formats. Also can old recordings be reissued on these formats or does the recording have to be done from the beginning in the particular format. Thanks, Orville, |

Thanks, Orville, How about, given the same CD in the different formats, what is the difference in subjective listening? Cordially, west |

I have found HDCD even when decoded by a non-HDCD player can sound very good - making me think that a lot fo the difference is the closer attention paid to the sound ... ? Anyone else think the same way? |

Anyone else think the same way? Of course. Skill and care (or the lack thereof) in the preparation swamps all the the technical differences. Kal |

Frequency Responce HDCD vs SACD vs DVDA
How about HRCD, HRCD-2, HRCD24; HDCD & Hybrid Multichannel SACD? Can anyone
delineate the formats as far as sound goes? I bought a couple of Jazz HRCDs (Misty Mood of the Three Blind Mice & Autumn in Seattle) FIM Japanese Label. The sound quality was out of this world. They have Jazz at the Pawnshop reissued in HRCD (High Resolution CD) and some of my audiophile friends and I can not distinguish it from SACD. What gives gentlemen? Instead of technical comparisons, tell us what you think about the sound quality. I think this point is very valid because IMO I feel that the type of CD format in most cases can affect the sound quality more than the brand of CD Player. In other words a $25.00 CD type Upgrade can have more impact on the sound than a $3000 Player upgrade. Cordially, west "Bromo" wrote in message news:MVTnc.66434$Ik.4911471@attbi_s53...

Thanks, Orville, I have found that a lot of the "HDCD" releases mixed in usually labeled in small letters on the back of the CD jewel case. Been seeing it on a lot of "best of" remasters. |

Frequency Responce HDCD vs SACD vs DVDA
IMO, the care and effort in producing the recording is paramount and
of much greater impact on the quality of the results, technically and subjectively, than the format or, in some cases, the equipment. Besides, until you can point to a recording made in all such formats without any changes, how can one make a valid distinction. In some cases, we have decent recordings on one or two formats but, even then, one cannot be sure about how they were processed.

XRCD is not a different physical format; it is a better mastering of a traditional Redbook CD. What you've discovered is that mastering is what makes the big difference. Iif you did a really careful comparison, I suspect you could hear a difference between XRCD and SACD, since they almost certainly are not using the same master. bob __________________________________________________ _______________ Best Restaurant Giveaway Ever!
