Re: [SurroundSound] Re: Bit Rate Resolution, Sampling Rate, Upsample, and Lossless vs. Lossy ....

You bring up a good point. Let's try a study as to if subjects can hear a difference with earmuffs and earplugs on while listening to various compressed conversions of Jefferson Starship's album Knee Deep In Hoopla... ;)

Not sure what you're saying but I doubt anything converted sounds 'better', ever.

 

a) But one thing I know;  I'd rather listen to a clean digital, or digital to digital conversion than ANY vinyl conversion that has ANY track hiss, crackle and pop.  I dont care about the bitrate or depth if I can hear rubbish, it is rubbish to me.  And if you strangle it to 'cvlean it up' that'll likely be rubbish too, to me.

 

b) Everyone goes on about bit rates, and what they van hear but theres so many personal things that affect it and make us all unique.  My kids made me listen to the mosquito ring tone.  What a laugh; they hear the high pitch, I hear nothing at all.  Try cupping your hands around your ears and moving them a bit.  Personally I can hear a huge difference in range but I'm not going to suggest sitting with mickey mouse ear diverters to enhance my music.  Maybe I should patent them ???

This is proof positive that Redbook CD can be converted to anything you please and still will never sound any better than it does in it's native state.

 

I would like to see someone perform the same test recording that same song (We Built This City) from a 1st pressing vinyl at 96/24 or there abouts and use the same MP3 encoding and then see if anyone can tell a difference. Bet they can :)
