ניגון של Native DSD זה עדיין משהו שאני צריך לבדוק לעומק, אולי כשאוכל להגביר קצת יותר. זה נשמע מעולה, אבל אני מרגיש שחסר לי קצת בס וקצת עומק.

Please note that some very loud tracks have hard clipping. This can create trouble with the sigma-delta modulator that leads to one second of silence on one channel. This rare issue is more likely to happen with very loud tracks.

for the SACD it is important to remember the US version exceeded scarlet book standards. on many player it will clip and not sound so good. The japan SACD [still in print?] is the same mastering but was shifted so it conforms to the standards – a different mastering in effect some would say – and sounds noticeably better depending on transport. FWIW the SACD is S Hoffman’s recommended version.

מה שכן, שמתי לב ל-clipping קצר (שמתבטא בדממה) בהקלטות DSD מסוימות.

מהמשפט הזה הבנתי שמצאת כמה הקלטות כאלו. אכן כך או רק בילי ג'ין/thriller?

בכל מקרה אשמח לשמוע בדיוק איפה אתה שומע את ההפסקות האלו, ומהיכן רכשת את האלבום.

A NOTE ABOUT DSD AUDIO LEVEL
In most cases, our DSD offerings are identical to original DSD data used to create the SA-CD masters. In essence, they are first generation SACD master audio. As a result, DSD audio levels conform to the MaxPeak specification as defined in the SA-CD Scarlet Book. It is possible that some titles reach, but do not exceed the MaxPeak limit which is about 3dB over 0dB-SACD. So it is possible that levels can be 3dB higher than the PCM limit. Most DSD capable playback equipment conforms to this specification. In the case where the DSD playback system does not meet the MaxPeak specification and distortion is heard, it might be necessary to lower the level of the DSD file with DSD processing tools such as Audiogate from Korg.
