| Any one try the new Synergistic Research BLUE UEF Duplex receptacle? I am using a Cruz Audio and I would vouch for it but I can’t remember what my stereo sounded like without it. Anybody familiar with Cruz Audio and would it be advantages to replace it with the Blue? | |
| Are high sample rates making your music sound worse? mzkmxcv,I didn't tell anybody about a file, I played the CD. I've never made claims about being a scientist. Maybe you could explain in aesthetic terms what I'm actually hearing. I have academic experience in the area of aesthetics, otherwise I'm ... | |
| Are high sample rates making your music sound worse? mzkmxcv, I've played the same vinyl transfer to CD for friends and they've remarked about the improvement to the overall sound between playing it at 44 kHz and then up sampling to higher frequencies. I can see that you're absolutely certain that y... | |
| Are high sample rates making your music sound worse? mzkmxcv' Also, the people I’ve heard from who are in the industry, all agree that digitized vinyl sounds identical. You finding this different either means you listened to garbage conversions or your brain is telling you what you want to hear, wh... | |
| Are high sample rates making your music sound worse? I've been considering purchasing a Schiit Bifrot 16 bit DAC for a more modest system. Schiit Audio also offers a multibit Bifrost but I don't know that the added cost would really be justified.I have a friend who said that in many ways he prefers ... | |
| Are high sample rates making your music sound worse? tatyana, my reference to a vinyl to digital transfer wasn't to imply that this recording was good, bad or indifferent. It's just something that is different from my experiences with other digital files and I am curious as to why. Like I said, vari... | |
| Are high sample rates making your music sound worse? The nature of this topic is obviously discursive and subject to multitudes. What seems important here is that all of our experiences are valid. High resolution recordings and up sampling are nebulous, in that there may not be absolutes about what ... | |
| Are high sample rates making your music sound worse? It seems from what you said that we're somehow not living up to your standards. | |
| Are high sample rates making your music sound worse? I don’t know jond, we’re just having a conversation. | |
| Are high sample rates making your music sound worse? mzkmxcv, I agree with you with the exception of the vinyl to digital transfer that I mentioned above. Anyone know why that would stand as an exception? | |
| Are high sample rates making your music sound worse? ishkabibil, I use a 2011 Mac Mini with a Wire World Platinum USB cable connected to an ISO Regen with linear power supply, connected to my Ayre DAC. I also run the Audirvana Plus transport app.I think it's important to note that I installed a Syne... | |
| Are high sample rates making your music sound worse? ishkabibil, I wouldn't try refuting that claim but I haven't necessarily noticed that with my equipment; Ayre QB9 DSD DAC, ASR Emitter II Exclusive amp, Quad 2905 ESL's.As I said, most anything above 96 kHz sounds wrong but in nearly every case, s... | |
| Are high sample rates making your music sound worse? I've found that up sampling to 96 kHz has never presented an issue but that above 96 kHz has and that includes recently recorded material.A friend however gave me a CD of 'Ziggy Stardust' that was originally a MOFI JVC vinyl pressing and the highe... |
