The subjects included professional recording engineers, students in a university recording program, and dedicated audiophiles. The systems included expensive professional monitors and one high-end system with electrostatic loudspeakers and expensive components and cables. The authors report on a series of double-blind tests comparing the analog output of high-resolution players playing high-resolution recordings with the same signal passed through a 16-bit/44.1-kHz “bottleneck.” The tests were conducted for over a year using different systems and a variety of subjects. JO - Journal of the Audio Engineering SocietyĪB - Claims both published and anecdotal are regularly made for audibly superior sound quality for two-channel audio encoded with longer word lengths and/or at higher sampling rates than the 16-bit/44.1-kHz CD standard. TI - Audibility of a CD-Standard A/DA/A Loop Inserted into High-Resolution Audio Playback The noise of the CD-quality loop was audible only at very elevated e. The test results show that the CD-quality A/D/A loop was undetectable at normal-to-loud listening levels, by any of the subjects, on any of the playback systems. doi:Ībstract: Claims both published and anecdotal are regularly made for audibly superior sound quality for two-channel audio encoded with longer word lengths and/or at higher sampling rates than the 16-bit/44.1-kHz CD standard.
