I'm reading an article about NwAvGuy: Op Amps: Myths & Facts and in that blog the dude mentions:
Quote:
Two guys named Meyer and Moran conducted a very interesting rigorous study. They played high resolution SACDs on a high end system and sometimes inserted an extra A/D and and D/A into the signal path to “down convert” the high resolution audio to CD quality (16/44) audio. After 500+ trials lasting more than a year, using audiophiles, recording engineers, and students as listeners, they found nobody could tell when the extra A/D and D/A was in the signal path
The study is shown here: AES E-Library » Audibility of a CD-Standard A/DA/A Loop Inserted into High-Resolution Audio Playback
Well hell! That's WAY more entertaining than 99% of Netflix. That's the kind of thing I like to read for fun. I didn't realize the AES gig was that fun. I just assumed it was something.....less fun.
Anyone a member? Anyone recommend joining?
