Human Ears Can Hear Better-Than-CD Quality (Just Barely)
人耳能分辨出高品質音樂嗎
Listeners can tell the difference between CD-quality music and better-than-CD quality—but only if they train their ears first.
經過一定的訓練,人們能夠分辨出CD品質和高於CD品質的音樂之間的差異。
Jay Z's "Tidal" platform promises listeners CD-quality streaming music, in all its 44.1 kilohertz, 16 bit glory—much better, they say, than compressed files, like mp3s. But why stop there? Neil Young's PonoMusic Store sells music that's even better than CD quality.
Jay Z的Tidal平台承諾為用戶提供CD品質的流媒體音樂,該網站認為,這類44.1 kHz採樣率,16 bit位寬的音樂的音質遠好於mp3的音樂。那為什麼要止步於此呢?因此有了Neil Young的PonoMusic平台,在那裡我們能買到比CD品質更好的音樂。
In a YouTube video for the service Young compares mp3 listeners to scuba divers, muddling around the seafloor. "You know you're walking around in the murk and there's big fish down there, that's kind of like listening to an mp3."
在一段YouTube視頻中,Young將聽mp 3格式的音樂比作穿戴潛水裝備,在海底聽音樂。“你就像在漆黑中摸索,並且可能還會遇到危險的大魚。這就是你聽mp3格式音樂的感覺。”
