It may be worth inquiring how the non-HDCD was recorded, though I don't know if it would matter re. the tests you're planning. [as a side note, i believe what I signed up for at reference recordings is a list for new releases, as there are no instructions for posting to the list.] In this* thread, charles hanson (ayre research dir) takes issue with the use of a separate A/D converter in the original sampler: " The most egregious example of this was when they released their sampler that allegedly compared non-HDCD against HDCD. What they negelected to tell you was that the non-HDCD track was made using the (atrocious sounding) Sony 1630 A/D converter and the HDCD track was made with the (excellent sounding) Keith Johnson A/D converter. This was an unfair, depceptive "comparison". " There's a lot of other info in there, but the thread is hard to read. * http://www.audioasylum.com/scripts/t.pl?f=dvda&m=24645 -- Skunk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32967 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
