We need to be careful when criticising hi-fi gear. Sometimes suppirier component build to reproduce the most neutral/natural sound can be mistakenly consider to be 'dry', while a component that design to make a manipulation on the sound might mistakenly consider to be more 'warm' and 'interesting'.
DSD vs. PCM vs. MQA - Group listening experiment
Hi everyone,
So I just re-discovered the 2L website which has free samples of high resolution music.
I thought it would be worthwhile to ask the fans about the tracks here, specifically if there are any you feel are really good exemplars of why encoding scheme X is better or different than Y.
I just downloaded a bunch of Vivaldi and will share my own observations (and lack thereof) here.
As for me, file size matters so I'm going to try to stick to relatively similar file sizes when possible.
Best,
Erik

The original first issue non remastered cd's and lp’s are the best, and most important least compressed. Do your homework here on this site and compare. http://dr.loudness-war.info/ Cheers George |
