Fair enough, it is obvious. I'm with Kevin this myth is ingrained pretty deeply with some very knowledgable people. I found photos of both sides of the Win inteface box, no evidence of any equalization (pretty cheezy actually). On second look that graph from Win is exact over the whole range, their box just does not reflect that. The vinylengine threads reflect this totally, that guy is taking some flak for including the EQ.
Noma? I hear there have been some problems with the uncontrolled foraging similar to the criticism of the former El Bulli serving potentially unsafe ingredients. Talk about money and fashion gone crazy.
As you've seen in some other threads, doing design correctly to achieve success in demonstrably audible factors is bound to cause howls and sneering from "audiophiles," especially those who have not designed so much as a volume control knob. Props to the fellow who understands the obvious, the flak notwithstanding.
Boy, food can look pretty off in photos unless the camera man applies a few tricks ... 🙂
Considering Hungry Jack's is really Burger King - the latter name was already trademarked locally when they wanted in - it makes sense. Originally, this mob did a good hamburger or two, but faded badly in later years ...
Given that this is so obvious mathematically, it is astonishing that people could argue about it. One might expect that a 12.5dB mid-range shelf might be audible too? Or does this provide a 'smooth' top end?SY said:
As in so many other cases, 'audiophiles' really are trying to ignorantly argue that black is white and seem offended when someone tries to correct them.
SACD
Who has compared sacd and cd and came to the conclusion that with a good DAC and analog circuit both sound the same.

It did not hear any difference or so little I could not tell there is a difference.
So did others on the dutch audioforum where I post, as far I know.
So I ask my self did you listen the cd throug a 24bit dac like I did when comparing it to the SACD player.
What was the cd source and what the was the sacd source.

I do hear significant differences between the CD layer and SACD layer on many recordings on my modified SCD-777ES, these differences are preserved through my external (24 bit) dac, and rips played via media server. In terms of the differences I (and others) can hear I would say the SACD version sounds more analog like, preserves more of the ambiance of the recording venue (if there) and the highs are frequently better. The CD layer sounds a lot more two dimensional by comparison.
Unusually subjective comment for me. I usually avoid this stuff.. 😱
I have some material in .DSF format (DSD file format) from Bluecoast records on the server, and these are probably the best sounding recordings on the server including a number HD PCM files of 24/88, 24/96, and 24/192.
I play a lot with speaker and simulate also a lot. Now I am building a speaker I want to sell on the high end market.
My previous speaker sounds better on the PSE tube amp because it sounds more relaxed and 3D on it.
The new commercial 3way loudspeaker also sounds 3D on the class-d amp just as on the tube amp. Now I would even prefer the class-d amp because it has very low THD that results on this very low THD speaker as more detailed music reproduction.
As you maybe self already discovered, not always happens what you would assume when your designing audio equipment.
I say this because you hear more 3D in the SACD, here it doesn't matter SACD or CD through quality 24 bit dac on the new speaker both sound 3D.

What a lousy mine is bigger than yours, we're better than the rest thread.. Grow up..!!
Interesting would be, what can TT do that digital can not and vice versa

All the debate about the cost of gear and what is good or not good is flawed, so is the assumption that certain nationalities fit certain types or lacks certain skills. Too much of that here.
What is the profound difference on the signal from a TT than from any digital source..??

Higher distortion and noise, worse pitch stability, worse separation, higher crosstalk. Some prefer this.
