CDs, Z5500, X-Fi platinum fatality champion series...
With this such combination, I suppose you do not need to look any further to distort your sound with plug-ins. Keep it original |

I tried using the resampler and set it at 96khz from normal 44khz, then I notice the sound bit different like... sounds bigger? That's what I heard
The difference is more noticeable with high bit rate (320kbps) and lossless songs, while not so obvious on low bit rate's (192kbps and below) |

QUOTE(fariz @ Oct 20 2008, 07:11 AM) do a blind test.. ask someone else to change the setting for you I did close my eyes when I clicked to change the setting.  When I set to higher 'khz', I notice that the sound's bigger.... and I enjoy it. What's this placebo effect anyway? Is it like the in room's echo effect? |

QUOTE(jigon @ Oct 20 2008, 10:11 AM) Hahaha..either you're so innocent or trying to make fun of fariz statement Honestly I did that, not making fun of anyone instead. So that's what placebo is, a change that scientifically unfounded but we want to believe there is. placebo effect meaning that you feel there is improvement but technical and scientific result found that there is no changes occur from the original source. 44.1 kHz -> 96 kHz - i believe it's placebo.. but 16 bit -> 24 bit - due to my limited technical knowledge..there should be very subtle improvement that we mainly ignore..or some sifu can highlight me on this matter.. found a link 16 bit vs. 24 bit , although its more on recording purpose rather than resampling purpose, but you should get the idea..  Cheers  Resampling from 44.1khz to 96khz gives me the almost same experience when I did ABX on comparison between 192kbps and 320kbps. When the first time I tried this resampling, I didn't expect at all there'll be an improvement. However to my surprise, there's an improvement. Just like when I felt there's improvement when moving from 128kbps to 320kbps |

Yeah maybe right also. All in all increasing resampling involve no cost at all and if one's brain interpret the change as there's improvement, that's still can be cost-free enjoyment for some

Good, now let us all move up one higher and more serious level of foobar2k discussion. This time we talk about skin customization... kidding only la
 Beside the resampling, are there any DSP or Output plugins that can slightly improve clarity? I starve for crystal clear sound clarity of all instruments played in every songs. I said 'slightly' improve because I do realize that software can only does so little. Still need physical headphone/amp/DAC for huge boost in SQ nevertheless. |
