And sickening...<br /><br />I was very disappointed recently when I heard that the NativeDSD.com download of the Fonè "30th Anniversary" (Natural Jazz Recordings) was likely just a 44/48kHz upsample being sold as "native" DSD!?<br /><br />Again, there's a major problem with quality control when even audiophile labels and download sites can't get their act Archimagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642574001287787545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-27356416887799702392015-02-08T12:33:04.054-08:002015-02-08T12:33:04.054-08:00Yeah...

It's already hard to detect this kind of thing happening so to find it with the Dylan album is surprising!<br /><br />As a customer, I would hope there's some *honesty* in the "system". Otherwise, how can we ever trust anything under "high resolution" Archimagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642574001287787545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-60787741782456964882015-02-07T18:23:56.009-08:002015-02-07T18:23:56.009-08:00Thanks Juergen for the techniques!

Hi Archimago
I...16 Bit Signal in 24 Bit container<br /><br />Hi Archimago<br /><br />I enjoy reading your posts. You could have checked this more easily with looking at the bit statistics of the signal and would be able to see, that the lower bits (17 to 24) are static. This can be done with the Audio Precision measurement system, or if you own RME hardware, with RME Digicheck software, or with Wavelab Bit JR_Audiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547557948411188806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-88729477305340085202015-02-07T00:02:56.030-08:002015-02-07T00:02:56.030-08:00This comes down to one thing no download vendor or...This comes down to one thing no download vendor or stream suplier do any quality control at all .They implement everything on the cheap ,building somekind of autamated upload service for the labels to use or abuse . No human hand involved anywhere .<br /><br />HRA or any Hifi labeled service should work the other way around the vendor Qubuz HD-tracks ,who ever should actively cooperate with the Mnybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18176512305785768525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-9855483716298926562015-02-06T17:38:14.307-08:002015-02-06T17:38:14.307-08:00Of course there is a way that any supplier could e...Of course there is a way that any supplier could ensure that this test result is never repeated again, if you get my drift. It would involve 'modifications' being applied to *all* high resolution files before they are released into the wild.
