Can AI make budget sound like World Class?
Let's say I have a good budget system with DAC Sinad 120db, a decent 300w class D amp etc. Now, I'm looking to make it play like a dream $ 30k system with top 200 watt clean Class A/B amp and a fantastic 4K dac.
(ignore speakers for now)
If I played the same 100.000+ hours of music on both systems and we recorded it at ultimate settings, we would get a delta.
Ie what is the difference in output (ideally the amplified) on the Budget and the Dream System.
Now, using a filter, AI trained from the delta, I would try and get the budget system to play like the 30k system. I would apply the "inverse" filter to modify the electronic signal, so that the powered signal coming out of the affordable Amp was very close to the expensive system.
We already do this somehow when we upscale 1080p video to 4k. Basically, the AI was fed a million hours of video in 4k and 1080p and now learned to "fill in the missing parts" to get from 1080p to 4k. Here we would just like to taint the system to play like a world class DAC+Amp system.
So removing the unwanted and adding the wanted.
There must be some PhD students in AI and acoustics research....
