I put his account on read only for now. When he started posting the same old stuff again and again and again last night, long after this thread moved on, I’d had it. To me, he wasn’t interested in being part of a community, but rather just pissing in the punch bowl.

GOTCHA!

Not something I do very often. I prefer to let people talk, but everyone has a line that can be crossed.

Does the Bridge cut off output when nothing is playing? I had this issue when testing DAPs for noise, which I do with Campfire Andromedas, as they are very sensitive. Since they save battery by cutting off the amp circuit when nothing is playing, I play a track of silence to ensure the amp circuit is switched on. 

It’s possible, but I assume output would be cut for both analog and digital volume controls. Will have to do more tests.

What will be interesting is PS Audio are planning to design the whole recording and play back chain for their new record label so one will more easily be able to hear at home what was heard in the studio.

 

Accept for the unavoidable fact that the room plays a huge role in the sound.

Not because any scientific test tells this (or debunks it) because because I tell you.

 

My parents used to tell me things and use this reasoning. It didn't turn out well.

Half of the people in this thread seem to be deaf.

 

Another sentence that isn't going to turn out well.

I thought when they playback in the studio, they use headphones.

 

I've never seen headphones used in the studio, but that doesn't mean much. Certainly musicians do, but for mixing and mastering I've only seen it on studio monitors.

Not if you use headphones. 

Then you have a whole other set of issues.

The headphones to ear interaction is no less complex than speakers to room and in some ways more.

Try to hear what a mastering engineer heard, even with the same electronics and headphones he used.

We should also get hearing test results from all engineers, compare them to our own results, and make appropriate compensation DSP to hear exactly what s/he heard. 
 

Preposterous.

We would be listening to exactly the same sound. We would hear it differently but that is irrevalent. 

What about the shape of your ear canal and pinna?

 

This is really an angered on the head of a pin argument.

OTOH, when the discussion starts about DSP, it tends to always get stuck to the digital filter level, and the other 50% which is the delta-sigma modulator (applicable to most DACs these days) is more or less ignored from the equation.

Very true. I think there is a lack of knowledge about what the modulator does and how it works.

*DUCKS*

 

Isn't that what MQA is all about?

 

*HIDES*

Nah, MQA was about making money :~)
