Let's say I rip the contents of a so-so CD track, do an optimum conversion of that data to the SACD format, and burn it onto a disc - and play both the original CD, and the new SACD on your chain - will they sound identical, or will one be "better" than the other? This question is meaningless as, in my experience, the masterings of CD and SACD releases of the same album are rarely the same.

And if it does, then I do something about it. The why there is an effect, well ... I might worry about that, sometime down the track 😉. Static effects are a mongrel - I can do "crazy things", and have the SQ degrade, or pick up again. The literature is extremely poor on analysing static, mainly because no-one really understands it! Sure, there's tonnes of material on how to combat it, and how to use it for doing something - but as for predicting whether static will occur or impact in some situation, with a decent hit rate ... you've got Buckley's! 😁 Lose the spinning discs and static electricity is much less of an issue. fas42 1 Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby Edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley Through the middle of my skull Link to comment

Extracting the contents and playing them from system memory, whether in an electrically quiet PC or a dedicated CD player such as the P.W.T CD player will fix those issues . Where you WILL see far more evidence of static electricity is on a VINYL Record as the stylus collects detritus from even what appears to be a clean record !!!. Exactly!

That isn't how I interpreted it. I think he is referring to creating an SACD from DSF files.

Perhaps you should consider adding Frank to your ignore list like I did. It's greatly increased my enjoyment of this site as now only see his posts when someone like you quotes him. botrytis 1 Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby Edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley Through the middle of my skull Link to comment

There's a lot of truth in Frank's posts and he seems like a nice enough guy but the repetition was driving me crazy. Way, way, way too many posts essentially saying the same thing over, over, and over... again, again, and again... botrytis 1 Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby Edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley Through the middle of my skull Link to comment
