See the discussion here and particularly Post #18. http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=98890&view=findpost&p=822862 in particular the comment: "You tried to make it harder for people to identify MP3, and by doing so you crippled LAME's psychoacoustic model. An RMS error measure averaged over a test item does not tell you if two items (here true 320-MP3 vs. your 350-tandem-coding) sound the same. You need to do that measure in the perceptual (masking) domain and also look at instantaneous worst-cases. And since how to exactly replicate that perceptual domain in software is partly unknown, you shouldn't do this at all, I would say." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98010 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
