Those SRS 'enhancement' things? As I understand it, the difference they create in music versus the source. Is much the same as the difference between a pure digital source and the same thing recorded in vinyl.
They make music sound 'warmer', but less accurate. Essentially throwing away some of the sharper details and smoothing out the wave a bit. What both cases have in common is they are a lossy conversion. I would not quote anything being fact in relation to which is better. The end result is subjective. The pure source is technically superior. But the filtered output is more pleasing to the ear. But only due to imperfections in the way the average humans ears and brain are wired up. Which is relevant to a lot of audio technologies over the years. Due to the subjective effect of differences in perception between people. Defining which may be superior given a specific situation is never as clear cut as just adding up the numbers. Would you say that is fair?
