Quite a big difference if you ask me....

DVD 16.777,216
-CD -----65,536

If a job gave you $16.777,216 a year and another job gave you $65.536 a year
would you say...

''Either one... It doesn't really matter.... they are both really good jobs''
''I couldn't even tell the difference in pay''


You wouldn't. So shut it.

First of all, we're talking digital vs vinyl. If you're saying represent music on DVDs, fine, I'd support that because it means more play time. But if you can't prove that vinyls have anything on CDs in terms of fidelity, then you "shut it."

Second of all, you're responding to a deleted post. Respond to the one that's there, and actually read it before doing so.

How many times do we have to go through this?
24 bit 96k goes straight on the record without down-sampling.

I am not going attempt to explain digital audio to you people.
I give up.I am bored. F**k this. You win.
The high end is not rolled of to save space, mp3s sound superb and most studios will immediately encode any digital file to achieve the superior sound of mp3s.
Happy? Now Fu*k this!

The only reason why you people spend thousands to get cdjs is because Dj tiesto is getting a big, fat, 4 digit check in the mail every month to sponsor the equipment.
It's not like you crackers know when you are being marketed upon....

ok you win. I request all CDJ users to sell off their equipment. Don't you guys know Tiesto is such a gimp ? How dare he strike the Jesus pose ??

Everybody listen to Harriz.

we salute you harriz and your very informative posts

if you feel passionate about something discuss it in an adult manner,

i'm still waiting on a comment from your side about the 15khz roll-off

here is my source: http://www.mp3-tech.org/content/?Mp3%20Limitations

here the theory

"Scalefactor band 21 problem:
The last scalefactor band (sfb21 for long blocks or sfb12 for short blocks) has no own scalefactor. This scalefactor band covers the range from 16kHz up to the higher frequency limit, when using 44.1 or 48kHz sampling frequency.
If the resolution of this part of the spectrum must be increased (determined by the psychoacoustic model), the local scalefactor, which is missing, can not be used to adjust resolution. In this case, the only solution is to adjust the global gain value, but this global gain is impacting every scalefactor band.
To increase sfb21 resolution, the global gain value has to be reduced. To balance this, scalefactors of other scalefactor bands can be reduced. But once they reach a value of 0, they can not be reduced anymore, meaning that an higher than needed resolution will locally be used in those bands, leading to an inflate of the bitrate. When encoding sfb21 content, it is common to encounter some scalefactor bands that are encoded with a too high resolution just to accomodate the coding needs of sfb21"

so your mp3s have no frequencies above 15khz theory has gone out of the window.

and as one of the above posters has rightly mentioned vinyl playback quality rapidly deteriorates

i'm a bit disappointed by your immature posting considering your post count.

why do you think the graph shows values past 16khz???

because they exist

and if you looked at a 320 graph you would be able to see that it is pretty much indistinguishable from the orignal wav source

i'm giving up on this, as you clearly don't understand what i have been posting

the future is pure digital, vinyl will have a romantic niche

you should try and get hold of michael jackson's thriller album.
try listening to a cd copy from 1992 and the digitally remastered cd version from 2001, then you will hear how superior digital is.

word up - i honed my skills on this, and i'll be damned if some whippersnapper tells me that there's something better.



also, who needs newfangled things like "stoves" and "houses" ? you want to keep it real you better find yourself a cave and grab some flint and a twig.

well if a club doesnt have vinyl or cd decks then it isnt worthy of being open to be honest. u would find out what decks they had before u went anyway and if they dont have cd take ur own.
