HELP! Mono dts-hd master!

[madshi]

10MB would be nice, if there's any sound in the first 10MB. If it's all silent, then a bit more.

ok its 19 MB http://www.mediafire.com/?tduqu4qnb24ugzb

can someone please post a 24bit header or telll me how to make a 24bit header so I don't have to stretch the file or tell my how to stretch the file as I have the the national Lampoons european vacation disc with mono DTS-HD MA also this method" Open a command prompt, and navigate to the folder with the two files, and then type this:
copy header.dts+YourFile.dtshd NewFile.dtshd" results in a 265KBfile so it does not work :(

you gotta do:

copy /B header+original.dtshd newfile.dtshd

The /B switch denotes binary. But now the mono decoding in eac3to is fixed! Something Arcsoft wouldn't fix for play their player.

OK, so you have a crap turntable, and an awesome CD player, no wonder... Vinyl quality depends on the manufacturing. The first record I bought was Incredibad by The Lonely Island, brand new. The record came warped. Playback was even more disappointing. I also have some brand new records that are remasters of old rock. Boston by Boston sounds phenominal. Fool For the City by Foghat, too. Those are both very thick vinyl, and the person behind making it is making sure what you are paying extra for sounds awesome. My turntable is lower quality, too, and my cartridge isn't the best, but to me it sounds better than the CDs of the same album. Plus I enjoy my music with headphones :)
I have an above average turntable, I was referring to a turntable that doesn't cost 15000€, only a fraction thereof, but yields a reasonable -78 dB own noise (after EQ) with an MC cartridge and low flutter, that's 20 dB more than any LP can give - believe me, it's just placebo, you simply can't obtain more, unless one buys the "heavy" LPs which bring 5 dB more. The reason I keep it is because I own some plates that are not yet on the market and probably never will.

I understand that the CDs are bad masterized today, I've said that long time ago, but I still prefer the CD over the LP for most of my music. I can live with the distortions in the high frequency range as long as no low frequency noise is present (you simply cannot avoid this on a LP, due to the RIAA EQ-curve) - you may check my [older] posts concerning the low noise effects on the brain.

The record industry is pushing again the LP as the LP cannot be 100% copied, but they cannot fool me, I'm in this business for long.
=============================
PS: using headphones, that are generally not very well suited for infrasounds, partially avoids the negative effects associated with the basses.

PS2: the only enemy of the CD sound is the player, most of them are simply out of specs (in terms of jitter). Once one manages to get rid thereof, then the CD would sound almost perfect.

PS3: anything more than 44.1/48 kHz and 16b is for LP an overkill. There are no significant frequency over 16 kHz, there is noway a noise floor beyond 60 dB (98 for CD).

OK, but vinyl still sounds better. There is more depth to the sound there! At least to my ears. I am not making this up. If you rip a cd to a computer you are getting raw data, it either works or it doesn't. If you miss a bit from the stream it will mess up the rest. So playing a ripped CD in flac would be a bit-perfect representation of that. Still doesn't sound as good as my ripped vinyl. If I resample a vinyl rip down from 24/96 to redbook quality, it WILL NOT sound as good. As I said there are spots in the waveform which I believe will just be ignored when downsampling. The noise you hear "goes away" once the music actually plays. The music industry didn't push vinyl back in. People want it because it obviously sounds better. And it can't be for DJing either because they have digital turntables now for scratching and all that stupid stuff.

I can't confirm it.
i did all that you but in my case decoded 2.1=decoded 2 (byte-in-byte), both identical to 1.2. But i added 2 frames (dts-hd) delay to 2.1, i.e. i added 21 ms of silence to decoded 2.1. Then ok.
My "dts-hd ma 5.1 48/16 core: 768kbps" was from this Blu-ray: http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/9-Songs-Blu-ray/5789/


comparing 1.1. and 2. shows that DTS-HD MA encoder adds not only 140 bytes header to the stream, but some tail at the end of the stream with unknown length

yes, but in my case these "some tail at the end of the stream" didn't prevent.

What do you think?

I was having the same problem with The Maltese Falcon's DTS-HD mono 1.0 track, the Arcsoft DTS Decoder would spit out an error when trying to convert it to anything - FLAC/WAV etc. This was with version 1.1.0.7. To fix it all I did was roll back to version 1.1.0.0 and now it works great :)
