idiot_savant Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 @GoldenOne - From a technical point of view, just consider the MQA encoder is adaptive - MQA say this themselves, so it’s entirely possible it automatically adapts itself to test tones without any “white glove treatment”, so as @The Computer Audiophilesays, be careful! To play devils advocate, I do think your test tones broke the stated MQA acoustic models, which seem to be done on a track by track basis. transparency would be good here - so if MQA could provide you with some real data, that would be helpful for one and all? your friendly neighbourhood idiot Link to comment
Popular Post idiot_savant Posted May 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2021 @GoldenOne- but this is the ( conceptual ) problem of adaptive encoders - it’s entirely plausible that if a track is a single impulse, then either entropy or a special case allows the encoder/decoder to replicate that fully, without any ringing, by the very same way you created it. Considering it’s a classic test, I’d be surprised if it wasn’t accounted for - think of eg Chord & EMM labs who both detect this signal to turn off filtering and obfuscate their magic? @The Computer Audiophile- Feels like your relationship with MQA has gone completely off the rails, can’t say I blame you I swore I wouldn’t get involved in this sort of thread, but those sweet, sweet graphs… your friendly neighbourhood idiot Nikhil and Currawong 2 Link to comment
idiot_savant Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 @The Computer Audiophile - I saw that clip, and I’d agree they were way out of order there, those bridges look burnt! Probably worth clarifying if Chord, MQA, EMM do special case stuff for impulse detection, whilst it irritates me it’s not actually completely evil, what with it being a completely illegal signal and all your friendly neighbourhood idiot Link to comment
idiot_savant Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 @The Computer Audiophile - bit perfect isn’t enough, apparently ;) your friendly neighbourhood idiot Link to comment
idiot_savant Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Well, I think we’re missing the bigger picture here… $billions here, $billions there yet the best joke I’ve ever made is lost as collateral damage. And bringing it back loses the zeitgeist. I hate you, Crazy guy! some kind of perspective would be appreciated 😉 ( this is *perhaps* off topic ) your friendly neighbourhood idiot botrytis 1 Link to comment
