Title: Peak Extend
Post by: Scroobius on September 26, 2012, 10:06:15 am
Hi Peter - I have not installed 9z-7-4 yet but I am confused (not difficult I know ha ha) by the release notes:

From off its introduction Peak Extension was the means to solve distortion which "officially" was only measurable outside the audio band. Now not activating Peak Extension operates without this distortion.

does this mean that Peak Extension doesn't do anything now i.e. if its purpose was to remove the distortion when *on* and there is no distortion now when it is *off* - well what does it now do?

Paul,

Of course the "purpose" of Peak Extend is not distortion related. That is, it never has. But, it by accident did influence (for the better but peoples M'sV'd) because the normal situation (PE Off) implied distortion (officially inaudible).

Peak Extend is to be combined with HDCD; it should never had have its own life, but it did because of the normal situation not working 100%. Now it's just equal in both with and without Peak Extension. Btw, when no HDCD is in order it can be Off or On - it should not matter a thing.
