Youtube audiophile hi res sounds MUCH better than my Eversolo streamer
I've discovered several Youtube vids that only play HiRes music and it sounds really good! I found a few songs I like so I added them my Tidal and listed through my Eversolo A6 Master and A8 on my 2ch setup and it doesn't sound near as good. It's dead and lifeless sounding. Does youtube put some kinda mojo into the mix? It almost sounds EQ'd or something.
Hooray !, somebody finally got down to the facts and just the facts ma’am. Sometimes here on Audiogon, it’s like the Tower of Babel . One thing I do believe is music that is recorded strictly to be attractive to the audiophile market is boring.I don’t believe in creating music to show off the capabilities of a studio. To me it’s not the medium it’s the message.
Member Old Ear gives it to us by the numbers and his actual experience
The facts and just the facts ma’am.
OLD EARS “So a bit of googling shows U-Tube at 750p maxes out at 128kbs AAC and YouTube Premium (old Red) maxes at 256kbs ACC. YouTube accepts hi res up to 96kbs Flac lossless, but these are transcoded to the above levels. They recommend submitting the best res files you have for better sound.
That said the NBR examples info are showing 24/192 files and I find setting my Pontus II to that res does sound slightly better. No where near my own 24/192 Wav or AIFF files, or even well recorded 16/44.1 via I2s from an OPPO player.
I really like user supported RadioParadise.com for their 16/44.1 FLAC channels that have some added processing.”
I'm pretty sure the percussion on this album will equal or exceed anything you can get on YouTube. If it doesn't sound fantastic on your system you are doing something wrong.
