In Reply to: So, one guy from Canada is claiming that a working majority... posted by John Marks on April 9, 2023 at 17:49:22:
I have 2 Rotel machines with HDCD and they can sound pretty damn nice for CD's. The original one I purchased has many features for selectable dithering and other features. What determines the END result most of all and I've said this many many times - is the mastering!! Different places are all over the place when it comes to this and you cannot tell if they went past the 0 limit when they mastered because the display will not show it.
Remember the LOUDNESS WARS? Even if you have an LED display on the readout for the OP level it will always show ZERO even if they pounded +3 or more on the making of the CD on peaks but you may hear it as an occasional grating distortion. Irritating, makes you want to turn it off.
ONE THING IS FOR SURE - I can play for anyone examples of good and great CD's and also bad ones on my system to demonstrate. Classical music usually has the best end product when it comes to this followed by Jazz. Rock music is all over the place unfortunately.
