I have the 2024 Steely Dan - Aja new release from Acoustic Sounds Analogue Productions.
I can get the DSF files from disk, but I'm facing that the audio level can be easily manipulated by changing the volume [db] 0 - +6.
Can you get an honest dynamic range from SACD? 🤔
Is there any documentation out there?
Lame 3995o vbr -q1 cannot be better than any 320cbr. Helix is old, good yes but still mp3.Just in case for less informed users among us: it's not -q1, but -Q1, a tweaked approach implemented by @halb27.
Do you bother to check the github before you make these comments? Nothing has changed quality-wise.
> In this case ,32 khz makes it worse as the noise has nowhere to go but down the spectrum. In contrast, 48khz works better.There are two different scenarios to consider. The first is that we want to preserve this pathological audio, and the other is we want to salvage it.
Do you mean, it subjectively sounds better at the same bitrate? (I don't think it *has* to always be worse in similar cases. All of the noise has to go to the audible range indeed, but the noise floor can be lower because there are more bits per sample available. It's probably very difficult to truly predict how it'll go in general.)

Why/how? I don't think this is how it works. Converting an integer from less bits to more bits is lossless (perfectly reversible). Do you mean there is some extra step that you'd expect to always happen in tandem with that?
