Since Bruce has now decided to participate, why doesn't he explain the conversion process himself, since he is the one who does it.
As HDTracks has represented in post #73: "EMM Labs CDSD-SE Transport => via DSD ST-optical => EMM Labs ADC8 MkIV => via PCM 24/96 AES/EBU => Pyramix DSD/DXD Workstation => Digital Audio Denmark AX24 for playback monitoring via MADI." And as HDTracks has represented today: "The EMM Labs converter does not do the digital conversion, all it does is convert ST-optical data to SPIDF-3 data." Seems like HDTracks has contradicted itself: previously it said that the EMM machine converted to PCM 24/96 but then told us today that the EMM machine doesn't do the conversion at all. So which machine does the conversion? How is the conversion done? What is the workflow? Is there upsampling or not? Bruce has acknowledged on other forums that he does upsampling. Again, there is nothing wrong in and of itself with upsampling. The issue is whether HDTracks has made a full disclosure of the source material fidelity (bit and sample rate) and the conversion process. Remember, we're starting with an SACD. We know that from representatives of both the Chicago and San Francisco orchestras. So tell us Bruce, exactly what do you do with that SACD to get it into the PCM format that is sold by HDTracks. -- mortslim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mortslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11039 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74688 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
