#1 Streaming question
Posted: Mon Sep 20, 2021 1:35 am
I am testing the amazon streaming service and signed up for HD/ultra HD which means that I get their best CD quality streaming.
I am recording the songs I like in my studio and play them on my main system as I have no internet access in my music player PC.
I realized after a while that the recorded songs sounded a little different compared to my ripped CDs. It was more a general feeling than some real audible difference.
I checked them with some programs but I can't interpret the meaning because both are 16bits/44.1kHz but one is cut off above 16kHz.
The blue line is the CD, the yellow the recording, the white the correction curve.
Also in another program I find the same difference while the program identifies both as 16bit/44.1kHz files. what's going on here? Is this normal for streaming?
