![]() ![]() Perhaps you can switch your blu-ray player to downmix channels to stereo and plug the output signal (Chinch) to your stereo and check the quality with your headphone while hopping through the different audio tracks. So, I think you have to try to use different methods of downmixing or not on Volumio. In my case, the stereo track on that special blu-ray was indeeed frequency cutted and limited, the 6Ch track wasn´t. The very low frequencies are missing on the CD, the footdrum on the downmixed flac was very clear and hard.īut I think all this depends on the overall quality of the sound, if they used a limiter during recording, if they cutted the higher and/or lower frequencies and so on. The dynamic was better cause the sound was obviously limited on the stereo cd. My result with downmixing the DTS 48Khz 6 Channel Track was better sound than the stereo cd. I´ve done it with XRecode directly to flac. ![]() Thats correct, the way you mix it down from 6 to 2 Channels will have an influence. ![]() I bet they wouldn’t sound muffled, but is it normal that they sound almost muffled through a stereo system? I also wonder how these 6ch versions would sound in an appropriate sound system. I wonder if a capable converter would make a better job than vlc (or if such a thing is even possible). I have not converted 6ch to 2ch for my listening tests though, I have ripped them in raw format and played directly through vlc on the same sound system (except raspberry pi part of course). High frequencies are much stronger in 2ch version as shown in the spectrum analysis and this definitely makes it more vibrant, 6ch versions sound almost muffled compared to it. It seems to me that 2ch version is kinda remastered. I have done some listening tests (well… as good as it gets) and checked sound volume for different frequencies using Spek. I was thinking that I would get an email when there is a reply. Even if it's just to fill a NAS (or a DVD or a thumb drive) with tracks that will be what I need when I buy the right car, find the right firmware on an Oppo, or know whether my Stevie Wonder disc will play with the segues not broken up by a :02 pause.Thank you very much for your reply, and a big sorry because I have just seen your post. There is no general resource for these conundrums that take all situations into account that may make something simple for one well-heeled engineer-gearhead, but doesn't take into account the newb who actually needs a recipe, the D.I.Y.-guy who doesn't have all the compatible gear, or the future-proofer who just needs to save files on a server before his Playstation blues-screens him out of business.įor me, just getting started seems to require a database of tasks where even the fields need to expand off the page to keep up with what I can, or cannot do. What's worse, whenever you express one of these situational quirks, somebody will always play the, "whaaat are you talking about!", with no understanding of how some situations can differ from their own. Some quad sources come from 5.1 formatted products, some albums don't have bonus tracks available in the same system, and some things you want to play together, simply can't pay nice together in the same place on the hard drive. Some music on DVD/Blu or other video platform won't play alongside other formats ripped from other sources. Some files need to be saved in multiple formats before you can just get that one disc out of the way, to get on to the next one. Some players have their own issues with common gapless playback. It seems the more places I want to play something, the more re-reading I have to to, to understand either why what I want to do, won't work, why what I want to use, won't suffice, and why whatever I have already solved another application with, doesn't solve the new problem. ![]()
