But I’m Flash. When I travel at light speed, femtoseconds are too long (and audible).

Yea when I was 16 I could hear 21 kHz. I was the 2 students out of the entire class that could hear that in a physics class. Now I can barely hear 17.5 kHz. Hahaha.

I realized something today. 20 kHz and above is technically called "ultrasound". I think it might be helpful to start using the actual term instead of 30kHz etc. It would probably be clearer to people when asked: "Are you saying you can hear ultrasound?" than "no one can hear 30kHz." etc.

Heck I run my ER4SR directly through my phone. The convenience and portability can’t be beat for a sound quality that even more expensive setups may not surpass.

In my opinion, sound science is indeed a banishment group. Which is odd, why is scientific discussion and DBT banished? I was always told that when something doesn't make any sense, think money. Science and DBT are the strongest tools to fight excessive expenditure on worthless crap, you bet a...

Nice read. Although if you think that speech enables you to write off whatever you wish from the sound science forum as cargo cult science, you are hugely mistaken.

The benefit is going to be small if any, however if your source has balanced and you wanna use it, sure go ahead, it won't hurt. Balanced generally has a slightly higher volume, reduces some crosstalk but really quite minor to make a huge fuss out of. Use whatever is convenient and is on your...

Gotta be the ER4SR... I'd be super sad if my Acoustune 1670SS breaks, I'll try to have it repaired if at all possible, but I don't think I can do without the ER4SR.

Maybe because there's a something towards being sincere, honest and truthful.

Yea look at the price of the TOTLs these days. They must have like doubled or tripled in pricing. Of course the margin for diminishing return starts much lower than what I've described, I was just loosely categorizing based on what you get at a price point. In short <$250 there will be...

For IEMs, anything below $250 you are generally trading something for the lower price, be it uncontrolled bass, weaker vocals or screamy trebles. There are a few gems under this price that may be good enough, but when A/B'd they will show their weakness. Nothing wrong with that of course and...

While I can definitely understand that perspective, I think it is disingenuous and dishonest to profess having no ulterior motive, just to be proven otherwise after. He would not have come anywhere close to being treated this way if he approached the forum with respect and did not attempt to...

Nope, gravity still acts on the DACs even when they have reached terminal velocity. Gravity keeps accelerating at ~ -9.8m/s^2 and drag keeps doing the opposite until it reaches +9.8m/s^2. During the terminal velocity, -9.8m/s^2 + 9.8m/s^2 = 0 m/s^2, therefore no more change in velocity will...

Same rate as in same velocity between both objects. Not same rate as in constant velocity. The rate of change will be ~ -9.8 m/s^2. In other words, if it is now static, after one second the velocity will be at 9.8 m/s, the next second, at 19.6m/s so on and so forth, assuming there's no drag /...

Yes, they fall at the same rate in vacuum. As there nothing else acting on them besides the same acceleration due to gravity. For real world scenario, it is highly unlikely that two DACs will arrive at the same time, unless they have the same air resistance acting on them. In short if the air...

Exactly. It doesn't matter if we do not know what is audible theoretically. If it cannot be discerned using blinded ABX testing then for all intent and purposes, it probably doesn't matter. Because air friction.

Anecdotal "evidence" you mean. Well lets exchange opinions and see whose opinion is better. I think your opinion while interesting fundamentally sucks. Oh also in my opinion, you must be kind of slow. Since you don't even know what to discuss in a sound science forum. But exchanging opinions...

Oh wow, big ass opinion right there. Too bad it isn't any bigger than mine.

I think unless a moderator moves this thread to the other one I don't think it can stop getting hijacked..

You are out of context regardless of the edit or not. My first and second posts are not edited and it is obvious this thread is not about the example. Even if you didn't read that 2 posts, the title of the thread also isn't about the example. Lastly, the edit in no way altered anything in the...

I revisited your initial post and think I misunderstood it the first time round. Are you saying that the interpolation errors are not equivalent to quantization error? Because that is how I understood it when doing my research. I was not being condescending. I was genuinely asking those...

You used a lot of words to describe what quantization noise is. The thing is that at 16 bit, the quantization noise is at -96 dB, allowing for a dynamic range of 96 dB. I'm not saying that 24 bit has less or equal "resolution" than 16 bit, but does it matter anymore? If you listen to your music...

Yes, subjective experience can be true for both people and contradict at the same time. Therefore it is important to understand the context in which the discussion is held, as they often do not translate to usefulness to the other party. I agree that civility is a mutual exercise. Like I said...

Feeling embarrassed you replied out of context?

Ok, so not the best example (I'm no scientist/physicist), but do you at least understand the main point of my post? Yes, newtonian physics isn't as accurate as relativity, but do apples fall upwards now? Just because relativity has been developed? A close approximation still establishes a...
