Anyone got any further trying this software out....? Having read the blurb on their site, I think reference to compression in discussions so far are not pertinent.....the software is intended to deal with clipping which is a different issue and not compression which we are stuck with.
As stated there is no way to reverse compression such that you get back to the original signal. Similarly there is no way to reverse clipping such that you get back to the original waveform. However the claims for this software suggest that using 'heuristics' you rebuild the waveform so that it approaches the original, and should at least sound better than a badly clipped signal, which seems feasible though whether they have any scientific foundation for the heuristics I don't know (just extrapolate based on the rate of change of the waveform on either side on the clip....or am I being too simplistic here)? At least thats the way I understand it....? Isn't this in some ways similar to what some of the upsampling devices do e.g. the perpetual technologies upsampler (which I have) which purports to do more than simply interpolate between samples (talking here how it comes up with the new values rather than the actual function)? -- ntom SB3,Perpetual Technologies P1-A/P3-A,Naim82 + 4xNaim135, Martin Logan SL3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ntom's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3197 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57872 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
