Not that specific topic recently.We certainly understand the principles behind sound recording and playback. When it gets into the multiple variables of acoustics, it gets more complicated, but it's still possible to sort it all out and understand it. Have you made an effort to research the subject?
I do have a degree in recording engineering & electronics though I am not in that field.
I only focused on electronics with headphone modifications as a hobby.
So TBH the answer is indirectly and no unfortunately I don't have the luxury to delve into this, which is why I actually value tapping into your brain.
That's quite an article, thanks for posting.
Yet that one guy that had 8 out of 10 actually proves it can be done(!)
Ha.
That test points out possible digital degradation, which admittedly most didn't notice, but doesn't compare actual analog to digital source recordings...
I think the frequency response may not the factor at play here at all.So your point here has really got me thinking. Since I am 63 years old I would probably be lucky to hear 15KHZ. If that is true, that puts CDs and vinyl on equal footing from the point of view of my ears, this even if my assertion that some vinyl recordings do contain higher frequencies is wrong. This adds to the mystery, in my mind at least, as to why I don't like the sound of CDs (because other than phono stage/dac they both share the same signal path). Interesting stuff!
One reason being that member BigShot mentioned that most music is not in that range.
Most instruments and, if I recall correctly, ear sensitivity would be in the midrange.
It could be your sensitivity at certain frequencies as well.
It could be bias.
It could be your turntable has a more pleasing cartridge.
It could be your dac is not working as should.
It could be your source files are not as good.
It could be your CD player opamp chips suck (!)
