to my ears digital audio does not sound natural? something is wrong!


lf Digital audio is man made how can I expect the brain to recognize it as natural sounding?

lf I re-encode digital audio with the earths natural frequencies will the brain now recognize it as a natural source allowing the digital audio to harmonize with my brain creating an entirely new listening experience?

This might sound crazy however it sounds perfectly logical to me so i went to the park at 3am to record the frequencies of nature using the built in mic on my cheap mp3 player in wav 16/44 and uploaded the wav file to my pc and while the file from the park was playing on my windows media player i made a simple copy of a commercial digital album flac 16/44 on my desktop and here are the results using the same audio source.

commercial release flac 16/44 http://u.pc.cd/PmXctalK

commercial release  with earth frequencies http://u.pc.cd/7d7

lt may be the placebo effect and i'm hearing what i want to hear however i think the music is now in harmony with my ears?

You can’t get away from the fact that all digital throws away most of the timing info - our brains need 2 nanoseconds, so Red book loses 80%. This is because scientist had no idea how hearing worked until long after the standards were made.
Digital is convenient, not natural. I get by with my $1800 Ayre DAC, but the most natural sounding ones are much more expensive. DCS makes the best.
