Oh cool, a snake oil thread! I guess you needed to lose all credibility, so you made this.

Electrons are very slow, not slightly slower.

Maybe I should have said blatant misrepresentation instead? When you have to go for non oversampling and inappropriate or no filter to demonstrate why hires is better, and show that signals have staircases, I feel like you're actually making a strong case for 44.1kHz and that old Monty's video...

All those debates aren't about DAC differences, but about how much someone can insist he has conclusive results despite relying on a notoriously flawed testing method. The entire thing isn't all that far from asking a tarot card reader if DACs sound different. And then finding excuses as to why...

IDK if the filter and your tinnitus were related. Perhaps if you listened too loud, as we often do when we try new stuff. Or same thing, if the setting and your system resulted in maybe some high energy crap somewhere. But your explanation looks like a confusing mix of real information, and you...

The actual source for the measurements is linked as https://addictedtoaudio.com.au/blogs/how-to/how-to-pick-the-best-filter-setting-for-your-dac Contrary to the link from OP, in the original article the guy understands what he's talking about and at no point does he make the silly silly claims...

@Ghoostknight. First, congrats, you managed to make another thread go off-topic to fuel your personal vendetta. You must be so proud. A scientific approach often consists of having an idea, then tests to see if we can disprove that idea. In very many cases, even when a model for how things...

@Ghoostknight Again with the "science says" for something science did not say. You don't give any clear information, no magnitude, you don't define any conditions, or mention what has actually been measured for "science" or anybody else to reach any sort of conclusion about audibility. You're...

I understand that you don't like the insinuations about you cheating the test. I sympathize with that and TBH if it's a problem for you, I can remove the posts. But it's no excuse to spiral down into complete nonsense. Did you read my post? What is it making reference to? Now read your reply.

I really don't like this "science says" thing. Less so when it's for a made up statement.

This is an impractical question given how frequency responses are mostly measured with sine sweeps that most tools will make an impulse response out of(and CSD or whatever else, BTW). That makes it unlikely that you acquired FR without also getting the IR. To be clear, while they are an...

The thread on the Storm remains, and this one isn't it. This part has been moved here as off-topic because it wasn't about that IEM.

I'm guessing we've all read the same papers at some point(although I might be talking about us 3 and 2 other guys in the thread when I say all), and indeed what should concern us is limited to what is audible, and if it bothers us or not. Which is where we all agree, even above audible levels...

I personally don't understand what his argument is. I tried, and I don't get it. Musical instruments can even have harmonics that are louder than the fundamental frequency. If we were to look at the harmonic content of an instrument like we do for an IEM, that would mean values near and...

It's where Harman's work and little statistical analysis gave 3 main preference groups. Is there a market for a non-dominant group? Probably, but depending on tuning, it will rapidly aim at a niche within a niche, which would still be interesting as a market population for sure, if said...

Foobar can convert a file with some DSP in the conversion. Ages ago I used to do just that to have replaygain, EQ, and sometimes even crossfeed baked in the files. Obviously I advise the usual precautions like starting with a few files you copied in some folder, to test and make sure you don't...

https://shopwondrousroots.com/new-5g-blocker-bracelet-ladies-young-adult-size-aphabio-centrix/ Why is this sold if it doesn't really protect from 5G? (ladies, remember to wear it on your left hand, or it will not do shiiit even more!!!) We can argue the benefits(or just as likely, drawbacks)...

I'm troubled by this. First, I am one to feel like the priority is pretty much always hiss with IEMs, and indeed, higher gain tends to mean higher noise(although noise could have several origins so it's just barely at the level of rule of thumb, and people should look for a voltage value of the...

I'm late(in the game...), but I have 2 things to say: 1/ Headphone brands usually don't give a frequency response range, and those who do, totally do it as a marketing trick to impress with nothing. You usually won't find how they came up with those numbers, which is never a good sign for...

Of course different transducers, electrical and acoustic tuning, will result in different amounts of distortions which, while usually not disturbing because they tend to be much quieter than music, do remain audible. So EQing one IEM into the other one will always have some remaining level of...

The Doppler effect is strictly the objective phenomenon. Wavelength shifting due to relative motion. There is no mystery, not unmeasured part and no need for a human at all. The paper that Red quoted is not about the Doppler effect itself, but about a strange way we might perceive the pitch...

You're the one bringing up a fidelity concern about an OS(not even one version of it, the all OS), isn't it normal to want to clearly know if it's a real matter that concerns maybe billions, or yet another audiophile anecdote of dysfunctional testing method turned into a global statement for no...

You're mistaken about ultrasounds for sound localization. I have a few reason to be confident here: 1/ the audio industry has been grasping at straws to validate any impact from hires. And the results are pretty much 3 papers, one debunked for bad testing conditions, one with tiny statistical...

Some car passes by(let's say straight line and constant speed). As it approaches the guy on the side of the road, the frequencies measured at the guy's ear are stable until they start going down(to reach the same frequencies as the ones actually emitted by the car while passing the guy, and then...

Pitch and frequency need to be kept clearly separated here.
