[求助] 关于CD转盘我引发的讨论
另外我对你说的时序电路的说法有不同看法,小鬼头,下面是一段摘自[comp.publish.cdrom] CD-Recordable FAQ的文章,你看看。
Subject: [4-18-2] The audio data matches exactly, why do they sound different?
(2002/12/11)
标题:4-18-2 为什么声音数据相同,音质不同?
Suppose you extract the audio track from the copy, and it's an exact binary
match of the track you wrote from your hard drive, but the CDs don't sound
quite the same. What then?
你从CD抓轨得到的数据和CD上一样,但是为什么刻出的CD音质不完全相同呢?
Most people don't notice any difference between originals and duplicates.
Some people notice subtle differences, some people notice huge differences;
on better CD players, the differences are harder to hear. Some say CD-R is
better, some say worse. While it's true that "bits are bits", there *are*
reasons why CD-Rs may sound different even when the data matches exactly.
上面这段有意思。
The most prominent problem is jitter. This isn't the DAE "jitter"
described in section (2-15), but rather a timebase error. A good
overview can be found in the jitter article on http://www.digido.com/.
A brief explanation follows.
不要混淆两个jitter,DAE程序里面的jitter correction是说一种抓音轨的时候防止爆音的手段,而我们这里的jitter是模拟领域的。
Most CD players use a clock derived from the incoming digital signal to
drive the digital-to-analog conversion. Even if the CD player gets all of
the digital bits accurately, it will produce inferior results if the timing
of the bits on the disc isn't precise. Put another way, something has to
send a sample to the speakers 44100 times per second, and if it's speeding
up and slowing down many times each second your ears are going to notice.
大多数CD机依赖原始数据自带的时钟,时钟的精准度影响音质。
If you play a CD digitally (e.g. by ripping it and then playing it through
a sound card), the quality of the CD doesn't matter, because it's the
timing of the clock in the sound card that drives the output.
电脑上用数字方式播放CD,时钟来自声卡,这种情况下CD的jitter就没有了。
A fancy CD player could provide its own clock to drive the DAC, buffering
up bits and playing them out in carefully controlled time. This is tricky
though, because when you have two clocks in a system they are likely to
drift apart, and you have to deal with buffer underruns and overruns when
one outpaces the other. (A man with two watches never knows what time it
is, because the watches almost never agree.) The timing from the disc is
generally good when considered over a long period, so the challenge to CD
player manufacturers is to design circuitry that produces a stable timing
signal from a somewhat unstable source.
好的CD机会做re-clock工作。
(This begs the question: does a CD player with anti-shock protection
produce better sound? The player has to read the disc at 2x so it can
buffer enough data to continue playing even when the CD player is jolted
and loses tracking. Such players tend to do *worse* with CD-Rs because
the higher read speed magnifies problems with marginal discs, but it's
possible that they have less of a problem with jitter -- assuming, of
course, that their internal clock is accurate and stable.)
有防抖动功能的CD机对抗CD的jitter的能力强一些,但是也有自己的不足。
It has been asserted that the clocking of bits on a CD-R isn't as precise
as on a pressed CD. Writing at different speeds on different types of
media requires adjustments to the "write strategy" (section (3-31)) that
can result in individual "marks" being sloppier than at other speeds.
This could account for inferior -- or at least different -- sound.
CDR的时基不如压制的原版盘的来得精准。
Yamaha believes they have found a partial solution for jitter problems
with their Audio Master Quality feature. See section (2-41).
yamaha的刻录机有对付jitter的特别技术。
Some people have asserted that *any* two CDs, pressed or otherwise, will
sound slightly different. Some claim to hear differences in identical
CDs from different pressing plants. The former is silly, but the latter
makes sense if one pressing plant is using a less-precise technology.
高手自称能听出任何两张CD的细微不同,哪怕是同一张CD,如果批号不同……看上去比较无聊……不过有可能
The manual for the CDD2000 reportedly states that the drive uses 4x
oversampling when playing pressed CDs, but switches to 1x for CD-R.
This affects the quality of the D/A conversion, and can make an audible
difference.
CDD2000用4倍速播放原版CD,但是用1倍速播放CDR,这对DAC有影响,对音质也就有影响了。
http://www.mrichter.com/cdr/primer/losses.htm has some further thoughts,
including a table showing signal level differences.
A paper was reportedly submitted to the Audio Engineering Society, entitled,
"An Investigation of the Sonic Differences Between Numerically Identical
Compact Discs", by Julian Dunn. Preprint 4339, the 101st AES convention.
An extremely technical introduction to CD reading is available at
http://www.tc.umn.edu/~erick205/Papers/paper.html. This may shed some
light on why reading audio CDs is difficult, as well as explain concepts
like aliasing and dither.
If you are finding your CD-Rs to be noticeably inferior, try different media,
different write speeds, a different player, or perhaps a different recorder.
There is some evidence that different brands of media and recorders may
work better for audio, but in the end it's a highly subjective matter.
尝试不同搭配,可以得到不同的刻录效果,不过到最后,更多的差别体现在主观意识上。
Some people say CD-Rs sound worse, some people say they sound better (and
some people think vinyl records are still the best).
结果,有人说CDR音质差,有人说CDR音质更好,不过——还有人说LP永远最好。 :) |
