His measurements are reproduced with regularity. Also Schiit sending him a Modius for testing speaks for itself. pkane2001 1 Link to comment

Your logic seems a bit broken. Are you saying miscellaneous can't measure and can't put out a regimen that you could use to reproduce or debunk said measurements. Could you see yourself suggesting shortcomings in the the current testing and suggest others or do you just want to throw tomatoes? Link to comment

So when you are brewing a cup of tea would you rather tea that has 0% of any pesticide or FDA acceptable levels? If given the choice and you have a preference. Link to comment

Here’s why. I'll point out the error laden, but yet somehow a bunch of people gushing, DarqueKnight video quality with eR thread. That one counts too right? Link to comment
plissken Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 4 minutes ago, The Computer Audiophile said: but my thing is with the seeming lack of consistency or celebration when it’s convenient and damnation when it isn’t. I think people celebrate reproducible results. It means the protocol, either bad or good, at least works. I have a friend that ISO certifies manufacturing. It's funny because he'll certified piss poor manufacturing practices as long as they are consistent. Link to comment
plissken Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 1 minute ago, Audiophile Neuroscience said: Would it be reasonable to conclude that the measurements contained in the ISO certification are then either misleading or alternatively, not measuring what needs to be measured? No ISO, from what I understand, focus on repeatability / consistency. Link to comment

I would feel consistently misled or let down by such a measurement standard Agreed. So what measurements do you have an issue with and what would be the better alternatives? Link to comment

Since it allows you to construct any non-linearity, it is a tool to simulate whatever you like. Look, you've obviously not looked or used it or tried to understand what it does, and yet you keep arguing against it. You're arguing in bad faith and there's no reason for it.

The hidden video is typically 70,000kb/s (max.) H264, and the hidden Audio is typically 529kb/s .aac which is VERY close to CD quality What about the mic they used to record it? You know the SINGLE Monaural point source? Also the extra AD-DA now introduced. Is all that very close to CD quality? botrytis 1 Link to comment

(The attached was from Miley Cyrus-Malibu) Sandy, they are talking about evaluation of high end systems by hot mic'ing them and then putting them on YT with lossy compression. I used Video LAN player to extract audio all the time off of YT. Link to comment
