The album stream sounded a little strange so I captured the output (via a Slimdevices Transporter into my pro Denon ADC recorder with the capture via the digital outs/ins respectively).
The stream is 44.1/16 and as the Transporter doesnt upsample (which is a plus in my opinion) the capture path is bit perfect.
The album is from 1975 so before the recording chain/mastering would have involved digital devices (?).
It has obviously been digitized from tape but I wonder what the artifacts are at ~9.5k, ~18k and ~19k
We also see no HF energy above ~20.5k but that might be due to limitations in the original recording chain or the digitization process?
I doubt the artifacts are any kind of water marking.
Thanks,
Peter
