[quote user="Bill"]Sorry for this long rant but I feel a rebuttal is necessary.1. Back in the 90's you had 480 I video and 16/44 or dolby 2.1 analog audio. Then the sound was crap as was the video so you could get away with a crappy setup. Now we hav...

While you cannot overcome the limitations of 44.1kHz, 16bit PCM audio
format by ripping from CD to .WAV, you can still find some benefit. For
one example, dirty or scratched (cat-chewed?) CDs can often be
recovered with error correction algorithms...

[quote user="clarkjohnsen"] Far better it was, than even the Met's performance a couple weeks ago. And who was that woman from Moscow? [Please, please download the file so you'll have it permanently.] [/quote]
I recorded them both. Both MET an...

Thanks, jtavan.
It was educational. I made some first steps already. I made a slow 233MHz (and presumable it would have lower noise with lower speed) machine with no fans, and a large passive radiator on SPU. Formatted it and loaded Win2K Pro St4. S...

While I, waken up by Mani’s idea to us MP as the only DAC, was playing with new Pacific I have researched deeper the HDCD subject in the BSO recordings. Mark Donahu, from AudioMirror with his slightly patronizing attitude might consider himself a...

Well, the added benefits of cross-source validation is that some of the sources are stable but others are less stable and might vary in its basic quality with time. For instance digital is very stable and since you once set it up properly then it rem...

"Chesky Records is pleased to introduce the 192/24 series. These discs are not limited editions but one-to-one copies of our 192khz 24bit master discs. The discs contain standard 192khz 24bit .wav files that you can copy to your computer's ...

Teresa Goodwin from positive-feedback gave a birth to a drooling article about her admiration of SACD
http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue42/sacd.htm
I read it as a chronicle of a person who was catapulted from other planet as I feel that SACD is...

The product range is unfortunately growing. I have seen quite a few recordings that I was interested but they were recorded in SACD and therefore were compromised by the format. I would not give a lot of credit to association between format and the m...

OK, it now looks like my dive in the world of PC is over and I pretty much know where I am staying. A well of so ago I was completely ignorant about the subject but now I could at least to understand what the common buzz-worlds means and able to ask ...

I downloaded your file and burned a DVD-A which includes 176/24 Reference Recordings HrX demo files they once made available.
I listened to these on my OPPO SE which has an info display that verifies the recording sample rate, and also...

[quote user="miab"]Yes the Bidat does lock 48khz very well and so does the Idat-m. Something even more suprising and coming from someone that knows these dacs very well is that on a few samples of Bidat they even lock at 96khz! Alas I am not so l...

Well, I did not mean to express any specific attitude to Bottlehead people - the only experience I had to them was a few years ago visiting their meeting right here in Boston (I did not know what Bottlehead wa all about at that time). The meeting was...

Well, as I said – a quick run around the companies that over today the hi-res file to public shows off a much sad state. For whoever reason people feel that if it hi-res records then the performance might be mediocre or the recording techniques m...

Jeremy, another few lead that I think might conceder.
Manly Labs has their 20-bit digital to analogue converter that uses the Pacific Microsonics processor inside. I was told that is available as the “street price” for ~$6K-$7K and it might be a “f...

Last week I spent a few hours at the scene of NY’s Stereophile Show – HE 2004: a half-day on Thursday and 2 hours on Friday. As many other audio-shows it had many semi-ugly colorations, however as any audio shows this zoo trip brought it’s own “inter...

There is always the argument that if you can't hear it, it can simply mean that your hearing sucks.......
When my second son was setting up his mobile recording studio we wanted an external RAID array for speed (mor...

I have no dog in this fight, in fact I have even no opinion on the subject. However, the subject is kind of fascinating and ridicules at the same time.
The guys who sell digital audio and all of those NAS storages f...

ANALOGUE TO DIGITAL CONVERTER COMPARISON by Kostas Metaxas
Procedure:
In all cases except for the KORG MR-1000, SOUND DEVICES SD744T and METRIC HALO[used with an Apple Laptop], I fed the outputs of the Stellavox SM8 to the A-D converter inputs [...
