Bits are never just bits alone. A bit is an abstract concept with a binary state. Bits do not really exist at all in the physical world (point one out to me somewhere). The binary state has to be physically represented somehow, electronically, optically, however to be used. COmputers (and CD storage media) are designed to transmit binary data accurately, else they would not work at all. To get audio/sound, the binary data stream gets converted to an analog signal. The D/A process (which requires very accurate and precise timing to be done properly) is where pretty much all of the variability comes into play regarding resulting sound quality.
CD Tweeks...Improve Ripped SQ?
Hi All,
I'm seriously considering coming over to the geek side of music playback. :-}
All of my shinny polycarbonate and aluminum platters have had CD treatment done to them.
The process I use is:
1) Optrix Cleaner
2) Audio Desk CD Lathe with black edge marker
3) Nespa Pro 30sec treatment
4) Acoustic Revive RD-3 Demagnetize
So the big question is...
Does a treated ripped CD sound better than an untreated ripped CD?
Anyone A/B a standard CD to a treated CD after ripped to a hard drive?
Thanks,
