Dear ASR-Community.
Perhaps the topic has been discussed before. If it is indeed present, I simply have not been able to find it and would greatly appreciate a reference.
At the moment there is a real hype about high quality audio formats and their providing via adequate hardware. It seems that people are making a lot of money in this market by overbidding each other with bitrates - you can almost call this a "DAC war". Well, over the years I have collected a certain amount of audio files. Some "original" CDs I have also stored as Lossless format for home streaming. Regardless of the fact that I myself can often only guess a difference between classic CD quality of 16bit /44,1kHz and e.g. 24 Bit/192 kHz, I would be interested in the following thing:
Is there a tool (for macOS) I can use to analyze the dynamic range of my library and possibly even store the results in the meta data? Some albums I find suspect and would feel much better with an analysis.
Do you have any other suggestion alternatively?
Wish you all a good start into the weekend and many greetings!
