2 sci-fi movies from the seventies that pop up in my mind now: Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970) The Omega Man (1971)

Although this is almost certainly not what is happening here, still interesting: "AI deception: A survey of examples, risks, and potential solutions" https://www.cell.com/patterns/fulltext/S2666-3899(24)00103-X

I stopped reading posts after this. (Not specifically because of this, but because I am tired of it all). You are not a pain because of some weakness on ASR or here, but because you ignore many things and just repeat the same falsehoods. For starters: You pick a (simulation of) a broken DAC...

You are just making a silly diversionary maneuver. He is talking in the context of music files for consumers. And whether it's downloads or streaming or whatever is completely irrelevant. The point is that 192kHz music files for consumers make no sense.

The word oversampling is also commonly used for upsampling in a DAC. I am surprised, can it be that you don't know what NOS in NOS DAC stands for?

Of course it is an argument for our discussion because the reason why "Hi-Res" is useless for consumers is because nobody can hear the difference. Many, many people think they can hear the difference, but in a proper test they can not. So, did you do a proper test or... Oh, I forgot: Or maybe...

What do you not understand? That 44.1/16 is audibly transparent? Maybe you thought you heard a difference with "high-res"? Maybe you did a uncontrolled, sighted or not properly level matched listening comparison? Or maybe you inadvertently compared two different masters (or otherwise...

Now we can come full circle: Hi-res is not the correct word. But closely related to your question: oversampling plus digital filtering is very usefull for reconstructing the audio signal (because a simpler analog filter can be used), and that is why NOS DACs are obsolete! 44.1/16 is audibly...

Apparently whatever the settings are, the way they are it is not working according to the requirements of digital audio to function correct, otherwise you would see perfect sine waves on the output. I don't know what that chip or that DAC is doing exacly but I can think of some possibilities...

You really don't have the faintest clue what you are talking about, do you?

No, he said: The average electron flow is zero on AC. They move back and forth and in circles and left and right and up and down. [Edit: oh, just missed the last post.]

Consistency or repeatability does not imply that there is no bias at work. If for whatever reason - at some momement - a belief is seeded in your head, consciously or subconsciously, that A sounds different from B then your brain can consistently make you "hear" that difference when you know...

@Davesrose already kind of said it, but maybe this is a little bit clearer: DTS X Neural would be the DTS X equivalent of the "DSU" (Dolby Surround Upmixer, that can upmix traditional 7.1, 5.1, and 2.0 to something with height channels). (And like he said, DTS X is the DTS version of Dolby...

I remember really noticing the doppler effect most in the case of vehicles with siren passing by (police car, ambulance, fire truck). And I mean noticing spontaniously, without thinking about it in advance and at the same time very consciously, impossible to ignore.

I sense a miscommunication, as I understood it DScience was asking if a different digital source connected to the same external DAC would make a difference.

The snapshots are taken from a band limited signal, and there is only one unique band limited signal that fits with the snapshots: and that of course is the sampled signal. So from the snapshots we also know everything that happened inbetween them. This is proven mathematics by Nyquist and...

@Litlgi74: Oh, wait, now I understand what @GalaxyFolder was trying to do and why he needed stereo mixdown: listen to the demo's on your website(?)

Because it is useless to repeat the same discussion, especially because you don't understand how digital audio works and you refuse to learn how it works. (There are no stair steps in the output of the DAC. (Perfect) stair steps are a summation of an (infinite) set of sine waves at different...

@castleofargh: may as well lock this thread also, or better: delete it completely

The reason why your other thread was locked was that you refused to read up on how digital audio really works and kept on repeating this nonsense. The output of a DAC is a perfectly continuous wave form that is reconstructed from the sample points. No sample is "played for 1/192kth second"...

I don't understand what you mean. Or is it just that you want to compare virtual speakers with normal headphone stereo? (That is what the stereo mixdown function is for: produce a normal mixdown to stereo without virtual speakers. However, to be able to use the stereo mixdown function you have...

Not, unless something is defective or some digital signal processing is done.

This subject was already brought up and discussed in a locked thread (https://www.head-fi.org/threads/mqa.967619/ , started by the same op, Audiophiliac).

Again: The codecs don't cause dynamic compression. People sometimes mixup data compression with dynamic compression.

@mei09891, to explain further: When using eARC, enhanced Audio Return Channel, the audio goes through the HDMI cable in the opposite direction, so from an HDMI input to an HDMI output. The trick is that this way the same cable can be used that is normally used in the traditional way (to pass on...
