whynot Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 I perceive no difference between the same songs from the same CD source between PCM & Hi-SP. Has anyone experienced this or R my ears just gone?I've clearly chosen the correct recording mode on Simple Burner & the RH-910. Track info indicates this, as well as the space occupied. Would I notice a difference via optical recording.A newer version of Simple Burner came with my RH-910, it's 2.0.05.25150 vs. the downloadable version on this forum which is 2.0.04.18080. Thanks in advance for any suggestions/answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmachine Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 (edited) Hi-SP has been designed for transparency, which means it should be most of the time undistinguishable from the original for the vast majority of users although it's a lossy compression method. Welcome to the world of psychoacoustic codecs. Edited June 22, 2005 by greenmachine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Low Volta Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 I perceive no difference between the same songs from the same CD source between PCM & Hi-SP.Well, for most music, I can't really hear any difference either, except for some tracks with very sharp high sounds (like some of the strange jazz-like minimalistic guitar or trumpet solos on Frances the Mute-The Mars Volta) where you can clearly hear artifacts... But I would say, great! Same (percieved quality) at much less required space...isn't that what we'd all want... sometimes I even wish my ears were ruined enough so I'd like Hi-LP (sorry, of course I don't mean this and I apologize to all ppl with hearing damage)A newer version of Simple Burner came with my RH-910, it's 2.0.05.25150 vs. the downloadable version on this forum which is 2.0.04.18080.have you tried both versions? if so, are there any differences?greetings, Volta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whynot Posted June 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Thanks 4 the responses.Yeah, on one hand I say great too. Just unexpected, & hard 2 believe on the other. Guess I'll lay more varied tracks & compare 2 C if it's even worth thediscs to use PCM. I'll B hard pressed in some instances 2 fill an entire 8 hours/disc though as some have previously mentioned. I didn't bother 2 install the older version. The newer version runs my CPU @ 98%.Guess it's asking alot to read the CD, & communicate with the Hi-MD "simultaneously"."transparent psychoacoustics" = "hearing loss" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerodB Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 What you hear will also depend on the equipment you have.High quality 'phones tend to be more revealing when it comes to compressed audio, while you won't be able to tell a difference with cheap phones (ie. the ones the come shipped with your HiMD unit).
