Changed the setting to 88.2 and the music becomes relaxed, I don't get nervous while listening. I listened to concertos of Hummel, Albinoni, Bizet. again I disabled the 88.2 settings, and listened to classical music at 44.1. But any experience of fatigue has completely disappeared. It was not as bad, that I stopped listening after a few minutes, I was able to listen for an hour or so. I experienced fatigue during listening at 44.1 kHz sample rate. After my purchase I experimented with some settings, but I noticed that any change in settings did not improve my listening experience.Īn important benchmark for me is when I listen: do I experience fatigue.

Please note, that I have my RME ADI-2 PRO fs Black Edition run in default settings, I haven't any settings changed, plain vanilla. This “wrong” could create extra harmonics, similar to something like a hot driven tube amplifier or Aural Exciter, a technique to brighten up recordings in the studio, beyond what an EQ can do. This leads to the idea that something is kind of “wrong” with JRiver’s sample rate conversion algorithm at 88.2 kHz. Listening to Tidal “Master” streaming, sample rate changes all the time, 88.2 happens quite often.Įven other situations where I use sample rate conversion never changed the sound in the way you described. Interesting, never heard such significant difference here. No comparison to the very good resolution at 88.2. increasing the sampling rate from 44.1 to (4 x 44.1) 176.4 kHz. I noticed inmediately that the sound on my Sennheiser HD650 Headphone had much improved, voices more in the front, more present, voices of backing voices much more differentiated. Es gibt auch einige (wenige) Postings auf Deutsch hier im Forum, aber Sie erreichen natürlich mehr Anwender, wenn Sie auf English posten. Psychoacoustic effect ("You wished for it"). Perhaps it is similar or the same with your model.Ģ. There you never have a defined position with the the ear (which I find quite terrible).

I know that the Sennheiser HD800 series has extremely large ear cups that are also not tight. different placement of the headphones on the ear. This roll-off at single-speed (44.1/48 kHz) could also be compensated by PEQ settings, which have already been posted here in the forum, see e.g.: … 26#p130026ġ. NOS or other) was shifted into the inaudible range above ~20 kHz. What kind of D/A filter are you using? It would be conceivable that the treble roll-off of a D/A filter (e.g.

Sorry, but upsampling doesn't make the sound better, it stays at the quality of the last A/D conversion, nothing is being enriched or improved. Sorry, for initially posting in German language.

I am sharing my experience and would be very pleased to know of any other owner of an RME ADI-2 Pro (FS Black Edition) with same of similar upsampling experience. I listened to these music sources: Roy Orbison "Black & White", CD1 of Ane Brun "It all starts with one", Bensound "The Jazz Piano" (nur Piano and Standing Bass), various albums of the Monks Choir of the Monastry Chevetogne (Belgium) No comparison to the very good resolution at 88.2 I just listened very briefly, very unsatisfactory, a bad experience. I did another test be increasing the sampling rate from 44.1 to (4 x 44.1) 176.4 kHz. This discovery has been a real ear opener for me. It gave me the impression that I had been present during the recording in the studio.Īlso, the echo in the recording (live recordings in a church of a monastry) was much more present. I changed the sampling rate in DSP of JRiver Media Center v29 from 44.1 to (2x 44.1) 88.2 kHz.
