Well, I guess it is a step in the right direction. But it gets us back
only to a point just short of "CD
Quality". Now how about a "super-premium" SACD or
DVD-A
multi-channel" release?
Yeah, SACD and DVD-A provide such impressive-looking
specifications. Just what Harry needs to enjoy music -
impressive specifications.
How about saying distortion and artifact free,
That would be any digital format.
So MP3 @ 128kbs is perfect?
uncompressed,
That's easy, just don't compress it!
Sorry, my error here, I meant to say "lossless". Being
and old timer I still associate "compression" with "lossy"
formats
analog sounding,
Sounding like any extant practical analog record/playback
technology would be a gigantic step backwards for
digital.
Only at lower bitrates.
multichannel music
44/16 can do that.
Not on Red Book CD!
that is superior to CD?
How can you improve on something that is already
sonically transparent?
see above
PS Noted I gave you what you asked for and you have not
commented on my post Spectral Analyses 192/24 that
has
been up for over a month!
Your spectral analysis shows some odd, unnatural
artefacts 20 KHz. The recording is horribly flawed,
technically speaking. The only thing that makes it
listenable is the fact that the artefacts are 20 KHz
where they can't be heard, anyway.
I never said it was a perfect recording only an example
of a readily available commercial recording that has a
lot of sound energy 25kHz.
I don't think so. It looks pretty wimpy compared to the recordings I've
posted at
www.pcabx.com. And the content 25 KHz is highly contaminated
with some kind of ultrasonic noise.
IMHO it sounds very pleasant (except some vocals are too
closely miked) and down mixing it to 44.1/16 makes it
sound "harsh". BTW I haven't ABXed it as I cannot get
your program to work at 192/24 or, as I have previously
said, managed a DBT at the two different sample rates
other than crude source swapping.
My program works fine at 192/24 if you have an appropriate audio interface.
The only caveat is that both sources have to have the same format. This
isn't a practical problem because it is possible to upsample lower sample
rate program material without affecting it sonically. BTW, the problem with
mismatched sample rates isn't a problem with the program, its a problem that
is common to audio interfaces - they tend to be a bit messy while they are
chagning formats.
