It is unless you like the sharpness/sibilance and the a bit subdued subbass and somewhat laid-back uppermids.

No worries. With age comes a lot more wisdom behind those ears....

Well, you could learn to play a musical instrument (if you don't already)... ;)

True, but the Stochastic Parrot made it sound like a litany of "hearing impairments" which is misleading because it didn't differentiate...

Some of those are redundant. For example, impaired localization, increased difficulty hearing in background noise, reduced lyric...

My wife has lost her high frequency hearing, can barely hear the birds outside. I can still hear the quiet whine of LCD screens, around...

The WM8741 filter that I graphed above was at 44.1 kHz sampling and has a stop-band of 24.1 kHz (-112 dB). So it does stretch the...

I've seen this happen in my own testing. A certain device showed massive HF noise but only at 176.4 and 192 kHz sampling rates. Long...

Yes, I think. In one case the DAC can produce tones that are not encoded in the recording. In the other, the DAC correctly produces what...

By "standard" I mean 44.1 kHz is abandoned and replaced by 48 kHz. For example CDs become 48 kHz too. I know, it's just a pipe dream...

The phase response of DACs is easy to measure and with a linear phase filter the response is usually dead-flat in the audible band. Some...

But this is what all anti-imaging filters should really look like: (Stereophile measurements of Ferrum Wandla D/A.) Full attenuation...

Talking about 9-10 Hz is a full octave below 20 Hz, so of course we don't hear that. But most people can hear a bit below 20 Hz, and by...

Here's another approach, described in detail both acoustically & electrically: https://headwizememorial.wordpress.com/tag/bass/ Jan...

True, nor do most people people notice the bass on vinyl has been summed to mono.
