Thanks for actually citing something useful. BTW here's the URL so that you can improve your future attempts to cite sources: https://www.gearslutz.com/board/9315551-post12.html "For the first two, I just used a track from a CD I purchased recently, "Groove Tube" by a Japanese artist who goes by "MEG", from her album 'Room Girl'. It's Redbook Audio, of course, and I used SoundForge 10 which comes with a resampler by Izotope that I used to go to 192 kHz, and another tool also by Izotope which I used to go from 16 to 24 bits. There are some individual settings within those tools, I'll follow up with details. The usefulness of the program content was that it was 1) live miked and 2) complex with many elements carefully placed within a large soundstage." Oh, upsampled? LOL! That makes it just a test of a particular upsampler with who-knows-what parameters. SF and Izotope have all sorts of parameters and features that include applying nonlinear distortion. Applying nonlinear distortion potentially creates all sorts of artifacts in the normal audible range. Not going down this rabbit hole! Not interested! Bogus! Sorry man, but even poor little old me was resourceful enough to use source files that were actually recorded at the higher sample rate that it was presented in using mics with response up to about 45 KHz. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103684 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
