Thanks. Just one ignorant question - can you switch the "fixing" on and off when upsampling the files to DXD in the SGM? Or is it intrinsic to the HQ upsampling?
Hi microstrip,
When upsampling, there is always a manipulation. In its simplest form, often called "sample and hold", the original image is just repeated.
As far as I know the only set of conditions where the HQ Player user can turn off the digital filter and turn off the addition of dither is when keeping the output rate the same as the input rate (ie no upsampling). When the HQP user selects the filter choice setting [none] and the dither noise shape [none], there is no upsampling and no manipulation of the data stream.
On a separate note, we have started to test the Aqua Formula using Closed Form with NS 5 in the demo space at the workshop in Hengelo. Emile is very impressed with the sonic presentation, especially with live music. It's giving us a interesting sonic environment to further adjust the HQ Player and OS settings to get the sonics to a higher level.
Best Regards,
Ed
