The only 'high res' files I have noticed that are different sounding have been special SA-CD 5.1 channel Flac stuff, but that's due to the surround sound nature not the bit rate I am sure.
#VINYLSTUDIO DSD NOISE 320KBPS#
I might have a go myself (using foobar) and see just how different it sounds resampling.įWIW I am not at all convinced in the High Resolution scene anyway, I have abx tested and struggle to ascertain a difference between a 320kbps mp3 file vs FLAC and higher etc. I'm just curious as to how noticeable or bad these 'undesirable artifacts' actually are. Or, at least, there's no sign yet, that they will do anything about the the units already sold.
Either way, you and I have bought and paid for a device that will not get fixed by them. If I imagine how Xduoo people are looking at this situation, I imagine that they will either decide to drop the model and press ahead with an already in the works newer model, or they will do a quick rework of the board inside the X3. Sure, it's a 'nitoid', but for 80 quid I spent on it, yes, I'm unhappy about it. That's the world around me at the moment. Most files that come my way are 44.1k files. While it's perfectly doable to make 48k or 96k audio files, and I surely will be trying to do that when reasonable, but the convenience of pushing a card with a few 44.1k files into the X3 for a quick listen is out-the-window. If an old tape machine was this bad it would be off out for a service tomorrow morning. The pitch shift with this device is the first time I've experienced it, and it's quite considerable. So much so, that I've never detected any pitch shift issues by taking a card out of one recording device and playing the audio back from another device, that is, until I got this Xduoo X3. I know even oscillators don't quite keep perfect time, that's why syncing two recordings made together ( video and sound ) is tricky for more than a couple of minutes or so, but digital time tracking is usually very very close to perfect in comparison with the old tape problems. Since the advent of the CD and then the digital audio players, I've become used to perfect pitch ( assuming it was recorded in perfect pitch ) and the simplicity of it. It was a tad irritating if I specifically wanted to get in tune with it to play along but I was a happy music lover none the less. I used to listen to vinyl and tapes at wonky speeds and thought nothing much of it at the time.
Hi Bob, looking at your photo, you look about the same age as me.
