Hi Mark,
I hope this message finds you well.
I’d like to chip in to support your new book on streaming but I closed my Kickstarter account, and am not going to open it again for one campaign.
Is there a way I can do that?
Thanks

Thanks

Hi Mark,
I’d love to take the test, so please send me the credentials for the FTP site.
Thank you for providing this valuable resource!
Best Regards,
Marin
could you please send me the HD audio samples? I really want to participate in this study and wonder if I can hear the difference. Thank you for your work.
Mark, thank you so much for answering my questions about DSD and high resolution audio. Could you send me a link to download the high resolution audio files please?
first of all congrats to having become a glider pilot – it’s good and important to also be part of the “real” outside world with fresh air when spending long hours inside with your profession.
I came across your site and first book some time ago and would like to say a big thank you for sharing your knowledge and your outright comments and fact-backed analyses. It takes a great deal of honesty, character and guts to point out nonsense and false statements within you own industry as clearly as you do, and you really have it in my view. Thank you also for the guts to set-up and carry through your latest project concerning (non)audible differences in the perception of redbook-standard vs. higher-res audio – very impressive, and IMHO very much down to the facts.
There was a slightly similar double-blind experiment in the 90s done by a German Tech-magazine with different mp3 resolutions vs. redbook, where in the end the (experienced) listeners could only dfferentiate between 128 vs 256 kbps mp3 quality but not between 256 kbps cs. redbook standard with statistically significant scores (I can try find and send the link if you are interested). Going from there this seems very much in line with your findings some 30 years later with better gear, but human hearing capabilities not having progressed that much :-).
One more questions regarding your latest book project: I just wanted to make a pledge to your kickstarter campaign but could not find a way to do so – would it still be possible to contribute?
Thanks again for your great work,
stay healthy these days and all the best,

Would like the FTP credentials to listen to the HiRes audio vs CD. I apologize, I found this site difficult to navigate and near impossible to locate what I was looking for. I do appreciate your efforts in audio engineering, and fully understand bit depth vs sample rate vs bit rate. I do a lot of voiceover for online courses, and have used 24-bit/48Khz for years. I’ve always felt it to have a superior quality/fidelity to 16-bit/44.1Khz.
just a young nerd bored at home trying to figure out how to get the highest quality sound out of my speakers, I’ve come to the conclusion after hours of tuning to random songs off various platforms it’s not me it’s the quality of whatever ever it’s being played from. id greatly appreciate access.
Eager to compare these new batch of samples. Thank you AIX!
Please give credentials for the audio challenge files.
Eager to perform some of my own A-B comparisons using our award winning electrostatics Headphones/Amplifiers.
Samples please.
I just shared the files with you.

Dear Mark
How can I get in contact with you regarding my order of your e-book and files ?
I can not seem to find any e-mail information, so I hope to get in contact with you in this way.
Today I placed an order (#6**3) and downloaded the zip file containing the audio files, and the pdf containing the book.
Book displays with no problems, but I am not able to open the zip archive (using Win 10)
Windows display an error message saying that the zip file is corrupted or empty, even though of 77Mb size.
Can you please verify if the file size is correct, or if I need any special program to extract the file?
Thank you in advance
BR from Denmark
It is fixed now. Sorry for the problem.
