3D ADCD A-D Converter Comparison files



These are the files from the 3D ADCD (if you'd prefer the hard copy, it can be ordered here), a set of 2 Redbook audio CDs (16-bit, 44.1 kHz) that features comparisons of 28 different Analog to Digital converters, over $116,000 worth in all. This carefully calibrated comparison features three music sources through each of the converters: 1) an analog remix of a John Wheeler Kerosene Brothers rockabilly song recorded on RADAR at 24/48K, 2) an analog remix from 2" tape of acoustic guitar and female vocal and 3) a DSD recording of the Bob Mintzer big band recorded by Tom Jung. Also included is an externally clocked version so you can compare the converters while uniformly clocked. The included ADCs are
