RE: Huh?

That sir, is actual computer science. Predictable, repeatable and consistent math and science.

If it as malleable as you imply, computers would never work.

I remember the arguments about different lossless formats being better or worse than another or "generational fade" arguments about making a copy of a copy. Generational fade may be an issue for analog pressings but not digital. The only way for digital to fade is if something is broken (or pilot error).

I wrote tests to prove to myself to convert lossless formats from one to another across multiple generations and back again. The only thing that changed was the meta data supported (or not) by each format. The raw PCM data stayed identical with no "generational" or "lossless format" losses or alterations.

This reminds me of a teak device that was tested by ASR. The only improvement the add-on device made was to a poorly engineered DAC with bad noise isolation. For that one instance, it was still cheaper to purchase a properly engineered DAC with noise isolation then the "tweak device" plus a poorly engineered DAC.

I am all for tweaks, that actually work and address real issues.

Since all of my shiny discs are ripped bit-perfect to NVMe and SSDs will the green pen make them even more bit-perfect ???
