Spotify Review
November 21, 2016 Comments Off on Spotify Review
“Better sound quality remains the next logical step for Spotify – especially as Apple Music’s streams offer the more open and involving listen, with greater space, subtlety and punch, not to mention the higher resolution on offer from Qobuz and Tidal.
Streaming Music: Good or Bad?
October 23, 2016 Comments Off on Streaming Music: Good or Bad?
” I love to use these services to make my own compilations on tape. I don’t care if it has the ultimate sound quality as long as I can find the music I want and for the music style I like, Spotify Premium offers the best selection. Where in the world could you access thousands of tracks in a matter of minutes and build your own playlist from just one source? If you take into consideration that in order to make a mix open reel tape of 95 minutes, you’ll need several CD’s or Records, for just $9.99 a month Spotify is hard to beat.”
Amazon Prime Music Service Reviewed
October 19, 2016 Comments Off on Amazon Prime Music Service Reviewed
” The Prime Music section is divided into five categories: Recommended, Stations, Playlists, New to Prime, and Popular. As the name suggests, the Recommended section is where you’ll find lists of stations, playlists, albums, and songs that Amazon thinks you will like. Prime Music doesn’t walk you through an initial setup the way Apple Music does, where you can tell it what genres and bands you like the most. It bases its recommendations on your existing collection and listening habits, so the recommended playlists weren’t quite as well crafted at first. Because I searched for The Beatles early on in my time with Prime Music, my recommended playlists and stations were very classic rock heavy at first, but the more I have listened to different genres, the more fleshed out those suggestions have become.”

MQA: Questions and Answers
August 15, 2016 Comments Off on MQA: Questions and Answers
“It is now widely, although not universally, accepted that “hi-rez” digital audio, with increased sampling rate or bit-depth, delivers improved sound quality. But it does so at large cost to coding efficiency. A 24-bit/88.2kHz recording requires three times the data rate of a 16-bit/44.1kHz alternative, and that ratio increases by further factors of two as sampling rate is doubled again to 176.4kHz and then to 352.8kHz, the sampling rate of DXD. While the progressive improvement in sound quality is welcome, it takes a disproportionate toll on data rates and storage capacity. Simply increasing sampling rate also fails to address head-on why it is that 44.1kHz and 48kHz sampling rates impose subjective limitations. Instead, sampling rate has become a proxy for resolution.”

“e-onkyo music’s director, Taku Kurosawa, added, “Mick-san is one of Japan’s leading recording engineers, and listening to these Unamas albums will surely convince you of the ultra-high quality of his recordings. It was inevitable that Mick-san would have a keen interest in MQA, given his eagerness to try any new technical approach to further refine his recordings.”
