Our hearing is incredibly adept at determining where a sound is coming from. And because it’s fully authenticated, you can be sure you’re hearing exactly what the artist approved in the studio. What’s more, it’s backwards compatible so it will play on any device. MQA is a revolutionary end-to-end technology that delivers master quality audio in a file that’s small enough to stream or download. 5.6MHz DSD will eat up almost 5GB in an hour. So every time it captures audio data, it captures less, but does so with astonishing regularity. However, it does so at 1-bit depth, rather than the up-to-24-bit rate you'll get in some of these other formats. The benefit of DSD is that sampling rates go up to an incredible 2.8MHz or 5.6MHz, which is 64 or 128 times the rate of CD. This is a high-capacity CD replacement that never really took off. However, iTunes can't play FLAC files, but it can play ALACs.ĭSD was created by Philips and Sony for use in Super Audio CDs (SACDs). So what's the benefit of ALAC over FLAC? Audio-wise, nothing.
Despite being an Apple product, it's open-source just like FLAC – Apple released its source code back in 2011. This is Apple's own lossless format, used in iTunes when you want to rip tracks losslessly. 24bit FLAC, is the best and perfect audio codec for audiophiles and digital distribution. Despite being lossless – which means that none of the music information was lost in the digital transition – it'll still reduce the size of music files dramatically. The most popular lossless format for High-Ressolution-Audio is, FLAC was introduced in 2001 and is an open format, so there are no costs or controls associated with it.
With todays audio equipment, you can enjoy a sound quality in your own living room or while traveling, which was previously only accessible to professional recording studios. Of course in the High-Resolution-Audio Standard without any loss. Each of these audio codecs are able to reproduce the unique and true natural sound captured from the recording session in the stdio. The audio codecs that we offer is as „Default“ FLAC and if available in MQA, ALAC, DXD and DSD. HIGH RESAUDIO exclusively supplies the original and true native high-resolution Studio Master source. The music offered on HIGH RESAUDIO is different to the conventional music download portals that offer MP3, AAC, WMA or compressed FLAC. All the songs and albums available on HIGH RESAUDIO are mastered with 24 bit-depth quantization, which allows a 24 x 6 = 144 dB, a much higher dynamic range than any other music source. A CD that is coded to Red-book standard 16-bit has, therefore a dynamic range of 16 x 6 = 96 dB. In a binary number system (and nothing else is behind digital music), the dynamic range increases with 6 dB per bit. This is also one of reasons and the philosophies of HIGH RESAUDIO. Dynamics is thus firmly coupled to the signal / noise ratio, since noise, the lowest detectable limit of the area superimposed on a musical signal. Quite simply put dynamic is the level distance between the quietest and loudest sound in a reproducible audio signal. The dynamic range makes the mathematical context. The reflected spectrum is now so far above the audible range, that these filters can be designed very flat, which means lower phase shifts. More important is even the higher sampling frequency. A CD thus has a potential dynamic range of 16 x 6 = 96 dB, a signal with 24-bit 144 dB accordingly. Per bit, the dynamic range increases by 6 dB. One argument for higher bit density is directly related to the better signal to noise ratio, which is associated with increased dynamic range. There are several reasons why you should use a much higher data density than 44.1 kHz / 16 bit.
