No, you are not correct! He did not give/represent a personal opinion, he represented the facts (which may or may not also be a personal opinion). You on the other hand are not, you are supposedly giving a personal opinion which is contrary to the facts/science. And as you have already been...- gregorio

That’s not true, is it! “We all” did not present the facts, you presented cherry-picked and misrepresented facts, along with numerous fallacies and falsehoods, which obviously is NOT presenting the facts, it’s presenting pseudoscience which can only achieve the opposite of helping people “to...- gregorio

Thought I’d address the quotes below as it seems typical. Like others, I don’t really get that. How is being anti-troll “trolling”? That is just “playing the victim”, probably the most typical reaction employed by trolls when they’ve been called out. Coming to a science discussion forum and...- gregorio

Android 14 and "USB Lossless" ...what does it even mean?
To be accurate, I think we need to acknowledge that there are conditions under which this quote isn’t necessarily true. There have been some studies demonstrating that some young adults can process and hear/detect frequencies up to around 24kHz. However, this is uncommon and requires pure...- gregorio

Android 14 and "USB Lossless" ...what does it even mean?
Unfortunately, only the first dozen or so paragraphs translate for me, so I’m not sure if the point I’m going to make is addressed (put right/into perspective) later in the article. There seems to be an unhealthy marketing driven obsession in the audiophile world, actually there are many but...- gregorio

Sorry, it seems my response came across as much harsher than I intended and as far as I’m concerned it’s really not a big deal if you don’t want to start a new thread and would like to discuss it in this one. Although it’s not up to me, it’s not my thread. Yes, I’m sure “the definition of a...- gregorio

I don’t see that as workable. You want a group of volunteers with limited time to organise and have a discussion about every problematic thread on sound science (which sooner or later is nearly all of them)? @castleofargh - In the most recent case, where the thread not only went off the rails...- gregorio

I’m not sure you meant to post that in this thread, maybe start a new one of you want to discuss that article (or the translation). I presume it’s because @castleofargh doesn’t live on Head-Fi, is an unpaid volunteer and doesn’t monitor Head-Fi constantly. But they were the thread starters, so...- gregorio

No problem. I gave the OP the benefit of the doubt to begin with but then he blew it up with claims of Woke Nazis and non-vaccinated Jewish Christians (or something), demonstrating the original post was just a troll prelude. G- gregorio

iPhone vs. Android via USB-C sound quality difference is huge
“Sound Check” is Apple’s version of Replaygain, it can be found in Apple Music settings. There is also “Reduce Loud Audio” in the “Headphone Safety” section of the “Sounds & Haptics” section of main settings, which I believe does employ a limiter (compression). That is also a possibility. I...- gregorio

iPhone vs. Android via USB-C sound quality difference is huge
As far as I’m aware, the iPhone doesn’t do any loudness compression, it just reduces the level of each track according to the loudness metadata but you say you have Sound Check switched off. And, although the moondrop DAC stores PEQ settings, it *might* use a default setting unless it is...- gregorio

I don’t know, do you want loudness normalisation? You can turn it off if not. If it’s a profile type thing, that might be more difficult to solve if Apple doesn’t support the app but then that’s a user error effectively. G- gregorio

iPhone vs. Android via USB-C sound quality difference is huge
It’s not easy to know what the iPhone is doing, what is being bypassed or what the moondrop phone is doing. For example, is the iPhone applying loudness normalisation (Sound Check) but the moondrop isn’t, is the moondrop sending some profile setting to the DAC that the iPhone isn’t, as bigshot...- gregorio

Hope this help you to explain Hi-Res music to your CD friends
If -30 is not below -23 then all math is wrong and the modern world doesn’t exist. Then try reading some. Yes, students commonly watch a great deal of YouTube videos, the vast majority of which are nonsense clickbait (just like your blog) so it is somewhat shocking when they watch one that’s...- gregorio

No you are not correct, just for a change. You are not discussing “facts related to audio science”, the rest of us are but you are doing the opposite and promoting pseudoscience related to audio science and falsely calling it “facts”. No, I’ve never met or even heard of a primary school kid who...- gregorio

Indeed, I left those out. I was trying to leave a bit of a safety margin for “definitely” inaudible, to account for potential extreme conditions that almost certainly won’t exist for a consumer but I can’t say definitely can never exist. For example a potential recording where the peak level is...- gregorio

Certainly, I was just citing examples of it being quoted. I read the actual calculation of it many years prior to these articles, probably around 20 years ago at a guess, either in an audio engineering journal or a scientific paper but I don’t recall exactly. In the sense that; something that...- gregorio

TBH, I read the calculation of it many years ago but don’t recall where exactly. It’s typically quoted roughly, Eg: https://interestingengineering.com/science/quietest-room-world-sound-goes-die - “The absolute minimum sound that can be experienced in any atmosphere as theorized by...- gregorio

Brownian Motion, although in practice the lowest level is somewhat higher than the theoretical limit dictated by Brownian Motion alone because absolute sound isolation can’t be achieved. The closest is MicroSoft’s anechoic chamber, which during the early hours one morning achieved -19.5dBSPL...- gregorio

I think accuracy is a long way away, evaluation of exactly what information and scientific research is valid and applicable, and then weighing it all appropriately is seemingly well beyond ML currently. Not really, that is just the very first step and only of some science. If it is, then the...- gregorio

To be fair, there was some discussion about the difference between hi-res and oversampling much earlier in the thread but I don’t recall where.
