The "processing power" required to reproduce a cymbal crash is ... well .. nothing.. It is routine, has been done and is being done by chip costing a few cents...Video works in the MHz and chips digitize it and reproduce it day in and out .. no sweat, no issues ...
Additionally , most of us, including those who think they have the very best hearing, fail to distinguish the better lossy codecs from original décompresseur, past a certain level. Once you are at 320 kb/s, only trained people have a chance. And that, by focusing on things they know and have been trained to discern. You could be one of those, in which case you can tell us. But I didn't see that mentioned. What I saw was a very subjective way to evaluate music reproduction, based on arbitrary and subjective metrics.
Here at ASR , we tend to require solid proofs. You didn't provide any. Or, perhaps, any that I noticed.
Stay. Learn. Read, research, discuss. You will learn a lot and will with patience and dedication build a solid music and/or movies reproduction system that up to now , would have cost you several times as much.
Peace.
I am very sensitive to sound. I know about the research you allude to.
You seem to know a lot. You could help answer my question about KEF LS-50W (active, digital) vs. ELAC Navis (powered, analog). How does the digital crossover and amplifier architecture result in a perceptible driver sound output advantage over the ELAC? Or are the two architectures merely two different approaches to achieve the same perceptible end?
Let's assume the digital approach has better intrinsic synchronization control of the drivers. No need to cover basic active speaker knowledge.
- much steeper crossover slopes that reduce distortion
- delay and phase correction is applied between drivers
- more amplifiers may generate greater near field noise
- Additional ELAC power (300 vs. 230 watts) may be excessive for me, because I listen at short distances, low volume levels and in small spaces to acoustic music.
Breaking down the answer down into functional layers might enhance clarity.
