There is more going on than what I currently can reason out 100%;
This is related to hires material not sounding as good as this upsampled 16/44.1; I won't say that this is caused by all hires being upsampled (by the same wrong means) from 16/44.1, but something is going on with "native" e.g. 24/192 material which makes it hide those on stage sounds and everything. Personally I don't think we can end up at "but Arc Prediction is wrong afterall", just because it does so right for such a long time (5 weeks in my case). Notice the difference with "faked high detail", which is very easy to create by just removing some (lower) mid frequency output. Result : "Ah ! you can hear her spitting in the microphone now !!". Yeah, right. But this won't last for long, because it is "created" by removing something else first. It won't last for 5 weeks.
So, it intrigues me that it is just sheer high resolution I perceive from this Arc Upsampling, while native 24/192 (or 24/96) already shows explicit lower resolution. So, "as good" would already be strange (but according to my own applied theories it can be done), but how "worse" falls into place ? ...
This still remains odd, yes, don't like the HiRez SQ either. Strange! |

OMG,
Peter you did it again,
It sounds as a whole now, all sharpness is gone.
bass response a great, soundstage very big.
And really dry super-dry, dry is GOOD!
More sounds to discover, much more.
I have to `learn´ an album again (this is strange)
It sounds like I've put a wordclock in the DAC.
Petje af !

A tip for those who are unaware ... you can drag and drop that image from your internet browser window into your album folder and you will have a copy of it ready for use. Another tip for those who are unaware ... you can drag and drop that image from your internet browser window into the Coverart Pane and you're done. Nice find there Peter ! I tried it with Firefox and it didn't work, so I loaded up Internet Explorer ( bleugh ! ) and that seemed to work OK. Used the 'Rename to Folder.jpg' context menu following the drag/drop. This will speed up things immeasurably  Cheers, Russ EDIT: This is working GREAT !! So much easier now doh, Do this for months now, otheriwse I have to give a download location, every freakin' time, for every freakin'picture. just drag and drop. This is maybe why I ended up with a 35GB Gallery, haha Grtz |

This is all because, I can.(in my situation that is) There was no hunger for HiRez material, still enjoying 16/44 thru xx. (maybe even more) Hope you can give us a decent explanation on this matter, Peter. Referring to your new version. I know you do (want)  |

theoretical difference between DVD and DVDA, where the first obviously is for movies and surround, and there's no big chance there will be a two channel version on there. Lots of music Dvd's have 2.0 LPCM on them but not that many in 24/96, most are "just" 16/48. David Gilmoure - in Concert, has 24/48 Most Queen albums have 24/96 like this. |

And this is how a Music Blu-Ray Disc looks like: (its only 40GB BIG) Like Peter said there can never be multi-ch 24/96 on a normal DVD (because max. bitrate of dvd is 9.8 MBps) And look at the multi-ch bitrate on the BD. (thats only sound) |
