The end of pono?

The only way to compare hi-res and standard res is to have the exact same recording captured in both formats, no resampling. I have such a recording of Lush Life. The 192 version definitely is better.

The difference however is not huge. The vocals are a bit more smooth and natural, not as edgy. This could easily be attributed to the digital filter differences at the two frequencies in most DACs. I use the same filter for both in my DAC, so its only the format in this case.

The goal is to make the standard res as good as high-res, and the Overdrive SE DAC does this. Unless you do immediate A/B, the differences are really small and recording dependent. I used to upsample most tracks that I really played a lot, but not anymore since the Overdrive. 44.1 sounds amazing. This is the way it should be.

I guess this proves that cynicism, or something like that, is difficult to convey in writing. How shall I say this that's acceptable? If you have your head so far up your own derrier, how would you know some see you as a derrier? Does that work? Is derrier even spelled correctly? Does anyone (other that Geoff Kait) get it and care? Beside me, of course.

Whoa, I was really freaked out for a second. I thought this was about the end of porno!!!! My BP went to 1000 for a minute there. Better now.

I'm not sure I get it, but I can tell you for sure that most people think I'm and ass. So I'll assume the comment was directed at me. And if it wasn't, give it a little time and you'll probably change your mind.

Something you're proud of? Or a perception you wish to change?
