ozpeter Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 I forget whether anyone has posted any analysis of the comparison between an optical transfer of an SP legacy disk and the same track transferred using the RH-1 via USB.The attached jpg shows the USB transfer in green and the optical transfer in red. It can be seen that divergence only becomes significant above 17kHz. I doubt whether this would be audible under realistic conditions.

raintheory Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 (edited) What deck did you use to get the optical-out signal?Was the SP track uploaded as PCM?Do you have the ability to perform this test with LP2?Sorry for all the questions right off the bat..

ozpeter Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Yup, PCM (but doesn't that go via Hi-SP or something first??).JE520 was the optical out deck.Yes, I could try some alternative settings in the next day or so. Gotta get some work done and stop playing around meanwhile! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raintheory Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 You should try as PCM & Hi-SP and compare too... That way we can try to see if it in fact transcodes to Hi-SP prior to converting to PCM. I'd love to know if this is the case, since personally I have been backing up the SP/MONO as PCM for quality, but if its Hi-SP first then I may as well just upload as Hi-SP...Thanks for your efforts with this!

faulkner1953 Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Someone my age can't hear over 16khz anyway. Most, not all, people lose the hi frequencies as they age. It's not that big a deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
