I'm curious too. There's no way to make a signal better than it's source. You can dumb it down and make it
seem better, I guess. But then it won't be the same signal any more. It's literally impossible to make it "better" than it's source, and still have the "same" signal when you're finished.
/e I spent 5 years of my life generating and transmitting this signal.... 24/7/365.
http://jproc.ca/hyperbolic/lorc_apulse.gifWe started the generation with a cesium oscillator (accurate to a fempto-second for the very reason, that it can only degrade) and with various pieces of the best gear available in the world, created the signal you see above.
http://jproc.ca/hyperbolic/loran_c_sigchar.htmlOn the receiving end it has to be accurate to a fraction of a micro-second, or someone's head was gonna roll. :)
/ee As I said above... I have no clue about the new audio gear, but you still can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. At least not w/o a time machine. :)
i agree on this
people make this such a huge deal
placebo effect is the raw
dac job is to do what?
amp job is to do what?
and both to make it as clean as possible this is where implementation is huge deal
after all that you are paying for micro measurements that pretty much go unnoticed by most
its like a pissing concest after the plateau
and on tubes though better is subjective because they actually color the sound which is altering the original
but headphones, amps, equalizing and speakers do the same thing all about implementation and if it alters the sound from the original
this is how sound becomes so subjective because of user preferences
