Assuming that the circuit is well made, it is supposed to handle a much higher voltage than what the DAC is able to generate.Īnd, people probably found out that some DAC can “distort” by feeding incredibly loud signals (maybe something like two-digit True Peak), so there is indeed a limit in the voltage that can be generated by converters, but under normal conditions this will never happen.Īnyway, if you compare 10 different playback devices they will all have different sound characteristics. Add album artwork largely from Album Art Exchange. Rip the record using VinylStudio saved as AIFF, 192kHz. Here is the process that I developed: Clean the record using Spin Clean. Depending on the components quality, the analog electrical signal can be altered, but it has nothing to do with the extra 0.5 dB TP. For the last few months, I have begun a project of ripping 1000 LPs.

The only thing that could ever produce distortion afterwards is the playback device itself. Music streaming platforms don’t care about True Peak, the only thing they care about is the actual digital signal / loudness. Of course no, there’s no such thing of True Peak “distortion”, simply because True Peak is the representation of the waveform once it is converted back into an analog signal and played back through speakers. Im trying to create an Automator Folder Action that normalises (to -3dB) any audio file placed in 'Folder A' and moves it to 'Folder B'. Has anyone actually ever heard true peak distortion?
