pinkun Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 I have installed the sonic stage 4.3 cp for quite a while and noticed a newly added function called Digital Sound Entertainment Engine (DSEE). Pointing to the upper left whree the DSEE tool bar is located, it says "produce audio that is closer to the original, more natural, and offers a wider sense of space.I usually rip my cds in to atrac3+ (256kbps) and encoded music files are very impressive at least for me. I always turn no eq or vpt on during playing back my music files (in mz nh1 before selling it several months ago). Now that I'm going to get the rh1, would I take any benefit of turning the DSEE function on during ripping cds. I'm afraid that turning it on will just color the original of a cd and please those who love to fine tune their music with equalizer only.But if anyone could explain the DSEE will enhance music in a really more NATURAL way, I would rerip all my stuff. Oh, is the function compatible with all md machines?Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky191 Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 I haven't seen any detail on how it works, if its just in the file itself or needs hardware support. So no idea if its snake oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avrin Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 The DSEE was originally designed to improve the quality of PLAYING compressed audio. It does not affect anything you rip, or arrange, or transfer with SS. It is completely software-implemented in SS42. The A800 is promised to have some hardware support for it.It does work though...

pinkun Posted April 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Thank you. I would try listening my music files turning the DSEE on and see if there is any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That NW-A800 looks tasky doesn't it. I wonder with the e-series have it in hardware too.http://crunchgear.com/2007/04/11/sony-e-se...hat-play-music/http://www.sony.jp/CorporateCruise/Press/200704/07-0411/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avrin Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 The E-series don't have it. It requires a lot of processing power, which the E-series do not have. The A800, on the other hand, has a powerful processor, capable of playing video. It is this power that is used for DSEE when playing audio tracks.

Sparky191 Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Be interesting to see if its any good. Its sounds similar in concept to Cowons BEE MP or Creatives Sample Rate Conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
