Well, maybe just one more - what would they think about MQA.? Link to comment

sphinxsix Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 @SamuelTCogley I like the idea of water mastering, however I'm not sure that's how they do it. Maybe they use 64bit (or similiar quality) formats and our 24bit/DSD/MQA would just make them laugh.. Maybe they can hear way out of our hearing range and use harmonies that are unknown to us.. On the other hand maybe they haven't even invented a piano roll equivalent yet and only play primitive drums using some spacesaurs bones and they would love our music and even be interested in streaming music from Earth despite the fact that the optical signal would need 40 years to reach their planet (would streaming services be interested in such a belated payment.?). Maybe our planet is the only one in the universe where homo audiophilus exists, maybe there are places in the universe where everybody is an audiophile.. BTW I think I've found a thread on CA which seems to confirm that planet Earth isn't the only place in the universe where sound quality matters to some : George Martian on Audiophiles http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f8-general-forum/george-martin-audiophiles-31739/ Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 How is Outer Space music getting in to our country? I thought we had a wall? Or at least a 20% tariff on it... Link to comment

Confused Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I did read that one day every one will own a Devialet. I'm not sure if that refers just to everyone on planet earth or if it applies to the population of the entire universe. (Although knowing Devialet's marketing, it probably does refer to the entire universe in it's infinite magnificence) I believe this one is popular amongst aliens at the moment.... Windows 11 PC, Roon, HQPlayer, Focus Fidelity convolutions, iFi Zen Stream, Paul Hynes SR4, Mutec REF10, Mutec MC3+USB, Devialet 1000Pro, KEF Blade. Plus Pro-Ject Signature 12 TT for playing my 'legacy' vinyl collection. Desktop system; RME ADI-2 DAC fs, Meze Empyrean headphones. Link to comment

As for Devialet - I think their technology may actually come from outer space. A really good value for money amps IMO (judging by our earthly standards). Thanks for reminding me of Alien Sex Fiend! I owned their album many years ago. Let me respond with the trailer of the worst movie in the history of cinema according to many (I tend to agree). BTW does anyone recognize the audio gear at 1:15.? I think it's not Devialet.. Link to comment
