I am still intrigued by the results of the audio test yesterday.
I understand that our "Golden Eared" boys Waxx and AlvinH made perfect scores!
I also overheard Sir Mark saying that there were those who scored bokya!
Now this made me think statistically......
There were six samples of audio tracks presented.
What I think is that those who made perferct scores and bokya have spot on ears (i would defer to use the term golden) that were able to sonically tell the difference between the six sample tracks!
Get my drift?
It was all a question of what was their preference....Did the DD clip sounded better than the True HD? Or was it the other way around?
Unlike video where we have objective parameters such as jaggies, contrast, detail and other video artifacts, audio is purely subjective on a reference audio rig. There are no basis EXCEPT how your ears picked up the sound and how your brain processed the information and made you decide which is better.
Mind you, we all have different ears, assorted levels of tutule accumulation and unique brain processing capability. That characters are yours and yours alone which makes the audio experience truly unique and personal. That is the beauty of critical audio listening.
Again statistically speaking, those that were in the 40% to 60% margin of error were those that did not know (or were having a hard time distinguishing) the DD tracks from the True HD clips ....In my opinion, those that were on both the far end of the spectrum (perfect and bokya scores) were the ones that have spot on ears (again i defer to use the term golden
) that were able to aurally tell the difference between clips.
It was all a matter of which clip sounded better to them.
My sixty cents on the matter.
Kaya sir mark, post mo na din yung mga bokya! Hats off din ako sa kanila!
