Mogao sam i taj ASUS da narucim, ali mi deluju totalno neozbiljno sa podrskom i driver-ima... Polako - za sada ce mi i ovaj sistem biti sasvim dobar. Jos samo da smislim koji sub da pazarim...![]()
The shocker came when we compared the lower 448 kbps Dolby Digital DVD bitrate to the original. There was an audible difference, but it was only ever-so-slightly noticeable (and this is with a high end audio system in an acoustically controlled environment that is so far beyond what typical home theater systems are capable of resolving). There was just the slightest decrease in presence with the DD version, not exactly a softening of the sound, but just a tad less ambience and a similarly small tightening of the front soundstage’s depth. Quite a remarkable result, I thought, and I was highly impressed with how much fidelity can be packed into such a relatively small amount of bitspace. If I was doing actual scoring, I would have awarded a 4.8 grade to the results I heard – the audible difference was that subtle.
It was déjà vu all over again. We switched back and forth between the original PCM master and the core DTS version, and here we found only the slightest, barely noticeable difference. From a frequency response standpoint, both versions were identical, with clearly delineated high frequency details, but the compressed version differed slightly only in barely noticeable presence —that sense of being “there”, with the original PCM track having just slightly greater overall richness. Whatever acoustic elements were removed in the code/decode process were clearly superfluous, at least for the most part, as the audible differences were so minor as to be almost unnoticeable—again, another testament to the capabilities of this highly refined codec.
What impressed, or perhaps surprised, me most about these tests was how good the base codecs actually are. The difference between the original audio and the basic Dolby Digital and DTS is a lot subtler than you’d expect, given the extreme amount of compression (around 10:1, a similar ratio to that of 128 kbps MP3).
That said, I could definitely pick out the difference between the lesser (or perhaps it’s more accurate to say “better”) compressed versions and the higher compressed versions. The difference is mostly in the presence, or ambience. The lossless, Dolby Digital Plus, and DTS-HD High Resolution compressed tracks were just a little more open and airy. I hate to say it, but they just sounded more realistic and transparent. The 448 kbps Dolby Digital and standard DTS tracks were less so, a little more closed off. Between the 640 kbps Dolby Digital and the uncompressed, the difference was even less noticeable. Enough so that most people, even those trained to listen for it, probably won’t be able to hear the difference.
The core DTS call is a little harder, as there wasn’t the same blind system in place to A/B as precisely as at Dolby. Results were similar, though.So by all means go for the new codecs, as they definitely sound better than what was on DVD. Uncompressed PCM, on the other hand, is just a waste of space (though compatible with everything).
If you’ve been listening at home and are sure you can hear a difference on your favorite discs, be wary. There is absolutely no way to tell that compressed and uncompressed tracks on any disc have anything to do with each other. They could come from different masters, they could be mixed differently, or any number of other variables that makes an in-home test, unfortunately, impossible. That said, trust your ears, and go with the one that sounds best to you.
Imaju ga i cena je oko 400 evra. Da je u NSu probao bih ga. Ovako - komentari na forumima na netu su bash kontradiktorni.
S druge strane, ne vidim ni jedan los komentar za Monitor Audio RSW12.
Dao sam i oglas na HiFi forumu pa cu videti. Nije BG preko svetaI tako cu prvo pazariti TV (osim ako ne uleti neka fina ponuda), tako da...
Cuti, nemoj te cuju ovi iz AV Impulsa da kazes da je MA SW bolji od tog Eposovog.
MA je naravno bolji ali i skuplji. Kao sto rekoh, skokni do 4audio i proveri NSSW700.
Cuo sam za Monolit, kazu da je stvarno extra.
Javljaj kad stigne sta mislis
Ja, koji sam raskristio sa njima, preporucujem ih kao prodavnicu.... strasno....
Ono sto je "napolju" dobro je sto cesto imaju "akcije" sa jako lepim cenama i sto cena starijm modelima relativno brzo pada. i to "napolje" je relativan pojam - mi uglavnom mislimo na Nemacku i Britaniju (Amerika je posebna prica i tu i nema nikakvog poredjenja). Sta je sa drugim zemljama?
Kad bolje razmislis to vazi za SVE proizvode "napolju", a ne samo za tehniku. Jednostavno, nase trziste je 50 godina u minusu za svetomKad uporedis situaciju sa onom od pre par godina, sad je jos i extra. Rekao bih da ce "otvaranja" granica i beli vizni rezim doprineti mnogo tome da se situacija blago poboljsa...
