I have been using your posting #12 extensively on this. The first link is the methdology I and Phil were using after sorting out the !#%^!& WMP issues. However, the second posting you linked to there was some question in the thread and in my mind if the guy was really comparing the right things. I wasn't ignoring it, I was trying to replicate it... which I have not succeed in yet (neither Phil nor I had). He talks alot about redithering and processing. I just wanted to get to a straight up rip to decode caputure comparison. Actually I didn't miss your post #106 either, but I think I misread it and I got confused, and i did see your HDCD list, thanks. I just don't understand and am very confused by what the point of HDCD is if it doesn't bother to recover more dynamic range. One thing I found out was that unknown to me, I still had the Windows Media Run Time for version 11 installed throughout all this, so just in the last day I was trying to figure out if that was causing some kind of DRM access failure or something. I pulled it out and still get the same waveform - no dynamic range increase. So agree I need to try another HDCD. Hopefully I will see what everyone other than me sees. Can I ask if you have actually replicated this yourself? The link you reposted is just from the originator of the hydrogenaudio thread. Just checking. I do appreciate your guidance and help in this. Its been a bit of a learning experience for me. I have to admit I have way more cool audio tools installed now.
