boybi & ssaloon::: Wag nyo na paginteresan pinahiram kong HU kay pajerokid! Pag nagsawa sya ibabalik din nya sa akin yan. :bwahaha:

based sa experience ko, kapag rock yung tugtog, maririnig talaga ang differences between 128kbps, 192kbps at original. nacompare ko yan sa original incubus ko na cd at sa binurn ko dati...

sa mga trance atbp... may difference rin lalo na kapag ginalaw mo yung equalizer. (5 band lang ung sa luma kong sony mini compo ;) )

tanong pa, so mas sulit ang mp3 capable hu. 3K rin kasi yung price difference nya. pinagpipilian ko kasi yung DEH2650 at DEH4650...

follow-up question, sa pag burn ba ng audio cd nagkakaroon din ng losses sa conversion ng mp3 to audio cd diba??

salamat.. (parang ang lalabo ng tanong ko..)

[ssaloon]

mas sulit mp3 HU

may loss din ata kasi yung source file mo is compressed na eh. unless na decompressed na sa audio cd format?

If you convert to MP3 and convert back to Audio CD, the removed signals will be gone, and so there is quality loss. If you rip from Audio CD to say WAV or AIFF, and burn back onto CD, there will be minimal loss, just those that are incorrectly written by your CD-writer, or incorrectly read by the drive...

sir,

salamat sa replies... iniisip ko pa rin kung ano kukunin ko na player. ang laki rin ng price difference...

I sacrificed MP3/WAV capability for sound quality in my choosing of an HU hehe I think i'd rather have a good sound shaping tool than MP3 or WAV

I think MP3 is good, as long its burned/ripped properly. Its convenient at di masakit sa bulsa. Tho, I have a hard time browsing thru so many songs/folders in a CD just to play what I want. Overall its ok but IMO, I still love the sound of Audio CD's

Dati, I would buy pCD then rip em and burn em thru Cdr/w's. I thought makakasave ako, pero sometimes it back fires hehehe. Minsan di maganda yun pCD, nagkakaleche-leche sa burning hehe. Pag play mo and daming noise...

go for a MP3 HU.. at least pag naisipan mo mag-play ng MP3 eh ready na at malalaman mo na agad kung mag MP3 ka pa or audio Cd lang..

yung HU ko hindi MP3 capable, so yung mga gusto kong music na na-download sa internet na mp3 ay binurn ko audio CD format.. grabe ang sagwa at ang dull ng tunong..pero pwede ng pag tyagaan basta wag lang lalakasan yung volume hehe..

since gusto ko ng audio cd, pumunta ako sa greenhills last sunday, bili ako ng mga pirated na audio cd.. putcha pangit din ng tunong, mukhang dating mp3 at ginawang audio cd lang para maka benta.. so ngayon di na ako bibili dun.. ang mahal kasi ng mga origs..

[tebs]

anybody have a deh-4650?
is it good in playing mp3's, coz sabi sa website nila na parang finifill-in ng HU yung mga parts ng music na nawala due to compression. so baka ok na rin tunog nun.

how much ba to (in which store)?

[quindoyos]

sir odell:
i have a deh4650. mp3 playback on the HU is good. i've been listening to the MP3 compilation of RUSH, galing.
bought mine for 9200, but last time i asked at Carluck in Banawe, 9000 na lang.

[quindoyos]

ooops! sorry! d pala si sir odell nagtatanong. sir tebs pala. :D

[ssaloon]

ganong yung bagong feature ng mga 2004 pioneer hu models. mga 9k ata bentahan ng 4650 sa banawe as quindoyos mentioned.

here's what i can suggest.

get the audio CDs ripped using software called EAC (Exact Audio Copy), and set its ripping to 256kbps stereo.

previously when the site r3mix.net was up and running, i had studies regarding MP3 (i was engrossed at that subject way back then). one of the items there mentioned that for archiving the quality of audio CDs, 256kbps is almost indistingushable from audio CDs as played on strictly controlled equipments and sampled by qualified hearing sensitive audiophiles (these individuals are gifted and can sense differences in frequencies and bitrates even if they don't see the sound source).

my HU is a basic Pioneer 3550MP (MP3 capable). whenever possible, i make it a point to encode my MP3s at 256kbps stereo (320kbps if possible), and i can't tell the difference (i'm quite a sound sensitive freak myself).

[pooch]

point of advice lang sakin... wag kayo bibili ng mp3 sa mga tiangge... the quality really s*cks... burn it nalang on your own =)
