Whether it's personal confrontation, the discussion of Bose, the discussion of Magic Marbles, or the discussion of an "illegal" subject on a specific board, it gets moved there, so it won't dirty up the "normal" boards.

Even the DCS people themselves haven't been able to come up with a rationale of why ASRC might sound good. It's a technological black hole just like Brilliant Pebbles is a technological black hole.
In fact, I brought this up because my very point is the while equating DCS' upsampler to Brilliant Pebbles may seem like a stretch to a lot of people, technologically speaking, I really think it isn't a stretch!! Expressly because the ASRC is also a "black hole" technology.
And since my equating DCS' upsampler to Brilliant Pebbles is perceived to be a stretch, that's where I think the ASRC comes a lot closer to being deceitful technology!!! For unlike Brilliant Pebbles, it has not raised flags with a lot of people in regard to possibly being "snake-oil" technology.
Not to mention, for how phony Brilliant Pebbles might be, at least unlike ASRC, it hasn't really **hurt** sonics..... Nor has it set back the art of sound reproduction.
So if anything, DCS' upsampler technology may actually be **worse** than Brilliant Pebbles!!

It looks like you're certain that your product would never work in such an environment....

I'll tell you that. If you ever opt to give them a try, write and I'll give you some pointers for achieving great results. And I do mean great.

I've been on a major roll for a little over three years now. You'd have to look at the things I didn't mention three plus years ago. ;-)

"Even the DCS people themselves haven't been able to come up with a rationale of why ASRC might sound good. It's a technological black hole just like Brilliant Pebbles is a technological black hole. "This is faulty logic, Geoff lumping your rocks in with what DCS is doing. They may not be totally clear about WHAT ASRC is doing but no one here would dispute that is indeed doing SOMETHING. With your rocks there is a dispute about whether they indeed DO something or not let alone what they do.
"Not to mention, for how phony Brilliant Pebbles might be, at least unlike ASRC, it hasn't really **hurt** sonics..... Nor has it set back the art of sound reproduction.

"Man you sure like to spin...sure your not a politician?
For the record, not everyone thinks ASRC actually makes the sound worse. Todd might but he is likely not the majority voice. I have heard a whole DCS stack on numerous occasions and it sounds pretty darn good to me. So, detrimental to the sound?? You have first hand proof of this by listening to a DCS stack with upsampling on and off? If poorly implemented maybe it is worse...with some recordings and better with others.

It ain't my faulty logic, Morricab. I simply quoted Todd who, like yourself, cannot seem to stop obessing about something he's never seen or heard. Talk about faulty logic! LOLBut thanks for the lecture, anyway.

Well then Todd's logic is faulty.
