Digital-Geschliffener Meisterwerk von Dire Straits. Mit AKG Kopfhörer

Digital-Geschliffener Meisterwerk von Dire Straits. Mit AKG Kopfhörer

Meine Mutter hat sogar die LP-Version dieser Alben, aber die CD-Version ist sehr empfehlenswert. Im Original-LP sind einige Songs abgekürzt, damit keine Verzerrung der Rillen hörbar ist, wenn die Songs auf der Platte zu eng werden. Das ist ein Beispiel dafür, wie es auf CD besser ist als auf LP.

Dieses Album ist vielen durch die Lieder „Money for Nothing” und „Walk of Life” bekannt. Auch der Song „Brothers in Arms” erzählt von dem Falklandkrieg aus dem Jahr 1982. Das gesamte Album ist zeitlos und ein Meilenstein der Rockgeschichte der 80er Jahre.

Ein Beispiel für ein Lied, das ich erst wegen dieses Albums herausfand, war „Why Worry”. Ich habe erst durch Art Garfunkel erfahren, dass er dieses Lied gecovert hat aus 1993. Ich muss zugeben, dass mir die Version von Art Garfunkel am besten gefällt. Sie passt sehr gut zur ruhigen Hawaii-Echo-Stimmung. Und er singt es auch schöner. Das Original ist genauso gut wie das Cover.

AKG K420 mkii:

Am besten hört es sich mit ein paar Boosts an Bass und Höhen auf Zh3 an. Da die Kopfhörer eher für Studios gedacht sind, ist die Klangqualität für HiFi auch nicht schlecht. Vielleicht nicht für Elektro-, HipHop- oder Dubstep-Musik. Dafür sind basslastige oder DJ-Kopfhörer besser geeignet. Für Dynamik oder je nach Album, das sehr gut gemischt ist, sind diese Kopfhörer für das Budget empfehlenswert. Sie kosten rund 70 Euro. Das erste Standardmodell ist für 50 Euro zu haben. Ich weiß nicht, ob das ähnlich ist. Ansonsten ist es eine gute Empfehlung für alle, die bereit sind, ein ausreichendes Budget für HiFi und sogar auch CD-Genuss auszugeben.

Meine Einstellung im ZH3 mit AKG
Bass: 5db / Treble 2db / Gain: M (Nicht auf L!)/ Filtering: Neutral Balance

Fosi ZH3 with ALG K240 MkII listening on CD thru Optical.

Since i found about this headphone. Usually meant for Studios and Mixing. It‘s very listenable for HiFi use using this Headphone amp.

One of which is that Those AKG headphones are Flat. It has clarity but less Bass. However, with the EQ option to Bass/Treble helps it to boost it a bit. Its not Bass Heavy but it does make a soft Bass sound. I set it around 5db on Bass and 3db on Treble, Digital filtering is on Neutral Balance. Gain is on M, i don’t recommend to set L. Which can distort the treble and sounds uglier.

My CD player is just an Vertical JVC CD Receiver (U.X-V3) That also includes a Optical Out. Which is very neat.

Soundwise, its pretty good for the budget if you wanna spare a good headphone. They cost around 70 bucks. The standard model is 50 but i‘m not sure if they are similar.

Fosi ZH3: Die beste DAC/Kopfhörer Verstärker für CDs, Digital und auch Analog.

Ich hab mir letztens der Fosi Q6 verwendet als Einstieg DAC. Ich hab endlich mit günstigen Preis mit 99.- ausgegeben (So NM Zustand). Der DAC selbst ist ähnlich wie der Q6, der unterschied ist das man Tief/Hoch Ton sowie Filtering umstellen kann. Es verfügt die 4.4mm Klinke und Unbalanced Ausgänge (Geht auch mit 3.5mm Adapter).

Impedanzen von 16Ω bis 300Ω

Es besitzt soeben auch Cinch Eingang sowie Ausgang plus XLR, allerdings sind die Ausgänge Fix und nicht Variabel. Das funktioniert nur im Kopfhörer Modus. Was mir nicht all stört, da ich mir eine 80er JVC Integrierten Verstärker verbunden hab. Die digitalen Signale kann mit Filtering und Gain per Analog Ausgang wiedergeben.

Klanglich ist sehr Top.

Mein Kopfhörer ist das Sony MDR-XB700. Eher ein Ok Kopfhörer, man hat zumindest Verbesserungen aber Kopfhörer selbst klingt eher Matschig und wenig Klarheit. Ich soll mir irgendwann ein guten Kopfhörer suchen die mir beansprucht. Nur nicht bis 1000.- .

Der Fosi ZH3 kostet auf Amazon 200€. Fürn Preis lohnt sich der DAC und Kopfhörer Verstärker, wenn man jedoch ein guten Kopfhörer hat. Aber für das was bietet, tut sein Job auf jedenfall.

Tipps für CD Rippen: CDripper von dbpoweramp ermöglicht mit DSP EQ zu Rippen.

Diese Möglichkeit ist nicht neu, aber sie hilft ein wenig dabei, den eigenen EQ-Klang von einer CD zu importieren. Es macht nicht direkt besser je nach Alben aber so einige die mir etwa zu flach ist, nutze ich dies damit es wie Räumlicher anhört.

Ich hab ein Video Demo zu Self Control von Laura Branigan aufgenommen wie ich mit der DSP gerippt habe. Es hat in Video kompromise, aber man kann mindestens die Klang unterschied merken das es in OG nicht so ist.

Wenns auf CD zu Teuer ist, ist Platten auch die alternativ.

Boys Don‘t Cry kennt weniger heutzutage. Damals vermutlich.

Eines der Hidden Gem Alben die man findet. Die hab ich so rundum nur 15.- ausgegeben. Mit CD ist die rundum 60 oder bis über 100. Auf Digital gibts die immernoch.

Windows Movie Maker XP Text but used as a Greenscreen Clip (Videotest)

i imagined earlier if its possible to use WMM XP text in modern use but used with greenscreen clip. so i made a lil test footage how it looks like.

it does look decent, its just very mixed when some video editing software could handle proberly but most don't. for example many text have shadings behind and they're hardcoded. in normal green screen use, the fade out looked glitchy and very flat. in order to fix it is to set the hard light on the blending modes. then duplicate the clip without any blending change, and just reduce the opacity around 35%.

The clip resolution is on 1080p, which is on the sweet spot to use it for 1080p quality. it does not work if you want it higher, since XP is obviously limited and 4K wasnt a thing yet. im order to get 1080p is to install Windows Media Encoder 9 that includes Windows Media Profile Editor. and you can easly add an 1080p profile for Movie maker.

converting is just easier, VLC does the job and thats all.

overall, an interesting experiment to try out. i think it may be usable for 2000s aesthetic video effect with this

it does work using modern iPhone as a LAN hotspot thru USB. not 100% perfect but its possible

i was experimenting the whole Networking hazzle that our router and network cant connect on Windows XP due to lack of compability of WP3 support. when i try this method, it did connect the ethernet connectivits of my phone. this isnt new. which you can do that with android but i wasnt sure if newer iphone can do the job.

in order to connect is to install the latest iTunes software for XP. activate Hotspot and maximize the compability on iPhone, plug in and verify. and its connected.

browsing worked mostly fine with Supermium, Legacy Update did okay for small parts. i do not recommend downloading it, because obviously XP. even watching YT. and its not for Online Gaming, which would struggle alot more. maybe not for daily use but for networking requirements for Legacy Update (depending how much you install) or bit browsing. i think it does the job, probably recommend to use an previous iphone device for replica

How to get WPA2 Networking on Windows XP

Our networking at the shared apartment just wont connect WiFi when they don‘t have WPA2 on it. I tried even installing Drivers (incl Ethernet ones) but got unsuccessful. LAN didnt worked either due to its incompatibility of 3020m (i mean technically it could but drivers didnt worked at all for me). Windows 7 had no issue.

Is there a way to get the networking with an additional Adapters or is there a way to get the WPA2 networking?

3 Whats Up with Andy Flashgames only released in German. Included from the Toggo CD Music Compilation Albums.

Here's the Link
https://archive.org/details/typisch-andy-die-wasserbombenschleuder

Since Whats up with Andy was aired in German channel Toggo SuperRTL, after when Teletoon aired it for a year. They also promote CDs compilation Hits songs including a Bonus content based of the Show. Some of it didnt have to be, they also include other shows with different Game. But most of these Flashgames are actually from the Toggo website and a subscription based Gamesite „Toggo Cleverclub“. most of Those games got lost aftermath due to drastic changes.

The show in German community is very populated and remembers still in the 2000s era. Idk if this was also remembered in Canada also.

The whole game is only in German tho. No english is included, nor even French in any countries

- The first game is a Slide contest. The goal of the game is overtake Leech on the sliding ice with an sled. But dont be too far, until andy gets filled by a small lawine.

- The second game is a guessing-bingo alike game. its about 4 cabinet of the toilet and you have to guess which of these 6 characters are inside of these toilets cabinets. Its actually a interesting game but only 5 level and gets bit trickier because the space gets less and their pants underneath changes color of their character.

- The third one is just Mud Tug of war. Just dont be fast when it starts.

Windows XP + 7 on Dell Optiflex 3020m

8 Gb RAM and 256 SSD installed for both of them on 128gb partitioned In ATA mode (because AHCI has some issues with XP)

Almost any Drivers i needed and Legacy Update. Works pretty well with this little machine. I dont use much as a gaming machine, i do have Crazy Taxi but i dont play much anything like shooting games or Point and Click. I use for software purposes and some stuff that mostly works on them.

(This is not my main monitor, its actually from my moms house that are used for displaying other OS.)

Apple LED Cinema Display does work with XP.

One of the forums i saw on the internet are saying that it wont work, including the AI formulation on Google. Which it isnt, they didnt technically know. It mostly works if you have an micro machine with DP out or own Retro PC with an advanced Graphic Card (depending which manufacturer). Just install the specific Graphic Drivers for Windows XP. Then you can get 1080p and even on 1440p output. (Mine is the Optiflex 3020m with a simple Intel HD graphic driver installed)

In order to connect is just use the DP to Mini DP adapter, which they‘re basically the same form.

But in the beginning, if you connect the Keyboard and Mouse into the Cinema Display USB ports, it wont be recognized. So you need to reboot the system and then it gets recognized. What it didn’t worked yet is the built in audio, this needs to be installed and probably work with the Display iSight driver seperately from Microsoft website.

(Update: the audio did work later on, yay)

Is it just me or is it just a Placebo?

Since i used my MacOs to rip my vinyl. They‘re as „USB AUDIO CODEC“ to their selection and there sound was bit low to the sampling. So since i installed Linux Mint on my old Macbook Pro from 2015, using the same software. The recording selection is now PCM2902C and the recording is kinda better i noticed.

Is it common when the operation system acts differently to the Audio Interface?
