In Reply to: RE: Turning on the remastering feature puts a load on processing power posted by jeromelang on October 20, 2016 at 16:03:15
Jerome I think I have to agree with you on the DSD remastering. I spend long periods with it turned off, and I think I like it better that way. I do go back and forth. I never use the Precision Upsampling. To me it makes the transient attack too sharp. To me that's hi fi. I try to guard against amps that make the transient attack to sharp. It's common. Transient attacks are not sharp at all in the natural world. I also think when the attack is wrong the decay is always wrong along with it. No offense intended to you oldmkvi. These are just my opinions.
OTOH the DSEE software on the HAP is superb. It always results in a better sound with Mp3s. It's only used for 44/16 and Mp3s. I always leave it on, but there are CDs that may sound better without it. Linked below is a Sony engineer's explanation of it for anybody who's interested.

Right you are. The blue light always stays on.

are Much sharper than most recordings or players can produce.
A Snare Drum is louder than most Gun Shots, a Concert Bass Drum is Bomb, literally.
Loud, high Trumpets are amazing in the intensity.
A Piccolo can literally put your ears out.
So I don't agree about Transients.
It's all good! You don't have to test it again, and you don't have to agree we me on transients. I was just stating what I heard. The difference in Precision mode is minute. It could very well be a matter of personal taste.
I think you know you are an audiophile when you really start to listen to the way things sound in real life. Not just real music, but everything. Listen to the transient attack of someone speaking to you, or even an acoustic guitar. To my surprise I find the transient attack of a guitar not at all as sharp as you would think it would be. These are just my observations.

I've tested it a number of times.
I'll do it again!
Jerome also claimed that the Phase was reversed, needing switching both speaker connections.
He also said witching them at the Amp was better than at the speakers.
I use it in the normal fashion.
I can hardly imagine that using the R.E. isn't the best way.
Why else would they put it in there?
With my Dacs, I always listen to DSD128, whether Native or up sampled, always better to me.
