That track have dynamic range of -0.02 to 12.59 dB (according to tests available online), which is less than the other tracks. That is a test on CD of original release. The CD layer of the SACD release on 2012 has less dynamic range compression. Yes, the daft punk album is so transparent that you can notice that if you will pay attention. Thanks for the comments!

    audiophile cds is there a thing as i have for free lot´s of very good turntables but cd players the best i got was a late 90´s cec belt driven and only in 2018 ,i discovered that was still for sale without improvements and costs 36.000€ but i have others well known but nothing beats my turntables and records , the better power amplifiers and speakers i own the far gets the sound of cd from the records ,also why not already changed the cd format ,in the 80´s the DAt was and his incredible high quality why they did sell pre-recorded minidiscs with inferior quality to cds and cd s still the 70´s developed digital format ,DAT tapes were a better format to sell original music or the SACD i remenber them saying that will have records quality but ,they are in the market for some years and they seem more worried with the surround SACD´s then stereo SACD, i bought a light grey brushed aluminium sony SACD player ,only because it stayed for sale in a big surface for a year or more and from almost 1.000€ i once went there and i saw 120€ i asked if that cd player costed 120€ and they said yes, i brought it home but a two channel sacd at the time were the first players to appear and for sure as a very good sound but the problem with some guitar sounds and not only like separation of channels and music with a lot of tracks recorded seem more dificult to be digitally played , i have a big vinyl colection but started in the 60´s and cds only started to buy more in 93 as i went to a store to buy a cd but when there i saw other album just released i had to have so i instead of buying a cd with the same money bought two records and i heard in a friend system who don´t want to use records he as a Macintosh system that was very expensive and bought also some La Scala from klipsch , wich if it was i , it would never be my choice to join new hi-fi material with 40´s released speakers ,only new and when playing a cd i notice hiss, but i won´t tell him that with so many money spent he as nothing and i think he saw it in a video as he doesn´t seem that inteligent but lot´s of money to throw out, maybe i would put a good tube amp. to fire the re-released LaScala and a good turntable that i already have but not a new expensive signature, rotor turntable just plain and simple but good turntable as i have 28 of them and none is bad ,i platy now records in a SL-1000MKII bought in 79 with the original catrtridge and pre-amplifier made for that cartridge and still have around 7 new stylus to change bought then but my favorite one is a thorens from the 60´s professional line with several upgrades including a old cartridge that was very expensive MC one , as amplifier i´m using two M6 mono blocks with a M3 control amplifier from Pioneer exclusive series and two speakers twin 2401 also from exclusive Pioneer series where i have the thorens hooked and a P3 from 79 also from pioneer and a open reel deck from Studer ,that was in my father´s home studio wich records with perfect sound, now that he pased away ,my brother and sister told me they didn´t want his old "stuff" including old cars colection that when i was 25 i couldn´t touch either ,hi-fi or cars that he owned but now all is mine and i do touch everything he got, the last thing he bought was a complete burmester system that technics had to come and install all in his listening room but only as a turntable and a cd player, i don´t want to lie but i think he paid 150.000€ for it, sounds perfect but 150.000€, i´m yet to change my family to his house as he separated from my mother in 1982, the SL-1000MKII costed almost the same of a BMW 535i ,that i wanted at the time but the reply i got was "the 76 523i isn´t good for you ?"and i had to shut upp and swallow that pill, as i have a 76 top end component system from Pioneer that when in 77 he bought a very expensive REVOX/Studer system he had to offer me it, or my mother would had left him in 77 not in 82, the kid needs a good sounding system to hear his horrible music, when he made 96 years old i went to congatulate him and took a offer when entering the house i started to listen britney spears and i thought my nice is already here but no , he was the one playing very loud a britney spears cd and when he saw me he made a face like if i had caught him shooting heroin, so i heard crap all my life and his jazz records and afrobeat also tango were great but Britney spears , i told him "you pervert, you´re getting old and dementia caught you" and he kind of laughed for a second, now i also have a britney spears cd, oops i did it again is my favorite track a for the words c for the music, but also have all fela kutti recordings and the live in tunisia by art blackey and the messengers also buddy rich big band albums , so i´m happy but i still think cds could be improved

    I have getz/ gilberto and Kind of Blue on cd and vinyl. Will have to give the others a listen for sure. My audiophile albums are Roxy Music - Avalon and Tears for Fears - Songs from the Big Chair. Both are well-produced and have a lush soundscape. For speed and punch, Rush - Moving Pictures and Kraftwerk - Computer World.

    OK, we all hear differently and I am going to get burned, here. I had never heard Dark Side of the Moon. So I listened to it, today, in ultra high def, on Amazon Music. What I heard was a lot of electronic gimmicks, a massive amount of noise, a ton of distortion, and little actual music.

      It’s great that you were able to form your own opinion about Dark Side and thanks for sharing it.

    Did you spend any time using the room correction on the WIM? I love the parametric EQ in the app. I ran correction and I have five or six different presets using the parametric EQ. It's awesome! You can have four different systems with different EQ. Press the button and change it anytime you want depending on what you're listening to.

    • @jimthedinosaur
      @jimthedinosaur 2 місяці тому

      Yes, I used the room correction on the WIIM. I experimented a bit on speaker position and then settled in with the setting that sound the best for me. I love this feature too. WIIM owners should be reminded to make use of this or at least try it as it makes a big difference.
