RE: MQA is what Redbook should have been...Remaster

Posted by fmak on October 29, 2016 at 05:47:02:
Actually, poor sounding CDs can , with patience, be remastered by using editing software such as Audition.

With quite a few albums, there is TV monitor breakthrough at around 15kHz which can be killed using an FFT filter. SQ can also be altered thru various automated or manual filters (30 point Graphic adjustment). Resampling to 176.4k 24 or 32 bit also helps.

So, there is really no need in many cases for inmates to buy a new music library or to spend $24000 to 98000 for a top of the range MQA dac.
