    High resolution audio

    Why it was a mistake to assume "we cannot detect ultrasonic frequencies" Human hearing is not linear. The mistake people is assuming that the following would hold true for human hearing Listening(A+B) = Listening(A)+Listening(B) If that were true if Listening(B)=0 then...

    High resolution audio

    How to pass sample-rate blind tests First you need to find a track that actually contain usable ultrasonic frequencies. I recommend finding some track you like that uses some recording of an acoustical instrument. You also need tweeters able to reproduce these high frequencies but luckily there...

    High resolution audio

    Are dac/adc filters to blame? With CD quality you have a bandwidth of only about 2khz to implement filters that will cut out ultrasonics above the nyquist frequency. The 2*f*sinc(2*f*x) convolution filter will cut out all frequencies above a certain frequency and keep all frequencies below...

    High resolution audio

    The loudness war Especially the CD version tend to be destroyed in the mastering process for the sake of loudness Typically a "high resolution" version will be mastered a lot better which will generally sound way better even if you convert it to CD quality.

    High resolution audio

    CD quality allows you to reproduce frequencies below 22.05 Khz at a a signal to noise ratio of up to 96 dB, this is actually pretty good considering CD was format was released in 1982. It's actually very difficult to fully utilize the Signal to Noise ratio CD offers even today The topping...
