    Upsampling 16/44.1 collection a good idea?

    44.1 vs 48KHz resample The delta is about -138dB with the exception of the large change at the varying nyquist limit and dithering noise floor. Unless your DAC is broken, this is just a complete waste of time.

    Upsampling 16/44.1 collection a good idea?

    Wow. Very interesting "conversation" we're having here. Oh.... Say, what's your sensitivity to harmonic distortion? -20dB? -30dB? -40dB? 120dB you say? Oh, wow. That's pretty impressive. :rolleyes: Let me know how close you get with the Klippel test. https://www.klippel.de/listeningtest/...

    How to share uncompressed audio with player on ASR etc.?

    I think all cloud services pretty much prevent direct access to files to prevent you from using it like some sort of web host or CDN where you can freely embed files offsite. I'm sure there is a cloud service out there that allows this, but I'm not sure. Maybe you can look into hosting it on a...

    How to share uncompressed audio with player on ASR etc.?

    I think this is the best we will get below. embedding via iframes are possible on these message boards, but I doubt general users will be given that sort of access. There are some talks about 3rd party players, but that would have to be implemented by amir and the team. Maybe look into...

    @staticV3 is right. Google drive is as simple as posting your sharing link from the web interface. Insert link Jack White - If I die tomorrow (sample) Raw hyperlink: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nkuCN9quY4Pmx68sdQIXq81uIr_bkZT3/view?usp=sharing

    Excessive hissing in some tracks but not others?

    It's definitely noise floor/tape hiss. Here is a before and after that I whipped up. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hBA8jXFcrE6XhwUntMznNuUfsvmCOQjV/view?usp=sharing

    Excessive hissing in some tracks but not others?

    Oh, sorry if I got your hopes up. I made the fix clip as a spoof. It's baked into the music track. This is usually a result of something in the production phase where they brickwall limit the dynamics out of the mix to where the noise floor creeps up (this is bad). The fix is unfortunately a bit...

    Kef r2 meta, high Sibilance?

    I'd stick with the Dali's. The rest of the oberon line appears to measure very well. I've got a mismatched center too. It's the Monolith THX 365C alongside the JBL HDI-3800's. They sound great together, and the audyssey room correction makes them sound tonally identical. measurements for...

    Kef r2 meta, high Sibilance?

    No problem. Your goal is just to try to find a way to get a nice in-room slope like how erin measures the reference 1 meta. Like I said, just try out +8dB at 40Hz for every speaker and give it a listen. The goal is to get rid of that bad default target made up by audyssey to match what...

    Kef r2 meta, high Sibilance?

    Agreed. When I didn't have the MultEQ-X, I would pull up the bass +8dB @ 40Hz in the app for every channel and use the slope #2. You could potentially check out ratbuddyssey and play with that to get the exact target you want. I gave up a while back and just paid for MultEQ-X on windows...

    Kef r2 meta, high Sibilance?

    Are you using the iphone/android Audyssey app? Can you take a screenshot there? Also, even if the app and manual says to take 8 measurements over multiple seating positions, ignore that. I always take my 1st measurement at the center of my head for getting proper timing, and then the remaining...

    Denon AVR-X3700H AVR Review

    The X1700H has the standard MultEQ XT rather than the MultEQ XT32 found in the X3700H. I would avoid it if you wanted useful room correction. https://www.denon.com/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-denon_northamerica_shared/default/dwc4919815/downloads/avr-x1700h-info-sheet-en.pdf

    Can you hear the difference in the 2 recordings? Eccentricity Detection Stabilizer by DS Audio $6K!

    The slope is probably a slightly different playback speed, but I think the waves are the detectable wobble. If it was a bit-perfect match, the clock drift would be locked to a straight horizontal line at '0'.

    Heh. I know what you mean. It's just a good reference for the speed slowly rising and falling every rotation of the album.

    Can you hear the difference in the 2 recordings? Eccentricity Detection Stabilizer by DS Audio $6K!

    It appears that there is an actual objective change in the audio. Look for the electrical noise at ~16KHz. The benefit appears to be more precise playback speed. My best advice is to just to go on Qobuz to stream whatever you want and spin a vinyl LP without dropping the needle. ;) Animated...
