I also found an inadequate USB cable and replaced it. For example, that way, I determined that I need to set my Qutest DAC to either 2V or 3V output level for the Koss headphones. When they don't, I put them side by side, and do A-B tests, and make changes to determine why. I expect the Koss headphones to sound better than the Sennheiser's. One uses Sennheiser 600 headphones driven by a Rupert Neve amp. As to psychoacoustic effects, I rule those out when I am expecting to hear something and it sounds different from what I expect. Go for PCM 96 or 192 KHz and use the “Slow” filter in both AD and DA. Personally I would not argue against CD and Vinyl discs sound different.īut I would never try to simply explain that based on differences in frequency range.įurthermore I would never record in DSD, it’s a very strange and unhandy format. The upper limit for studio microphones and analog tape machines is about 30 kHz, where both drop off by 20 dB at least So it’s not possible to 1:1 compare Vinyl to CD.īTW: The absolute highest frequencies some special Vinyl disc pickups can track (i.e. van den Hul, Micro Ridge needle), you will hear this boosted high frequency range, specially in the inner grooves. If you now play the Vinyl disk with a better than average pickup (i.e.
Specially, during cutting the lacquer disc, high frequency are boosted to counteract tracking losses of average (elliptical needle) pickups. As a recording engineer that started in the 80s and did several thousand productions, I can assure you that the masters for CD and Vinyl discs never are identical.
