Recreating Audio Compression Loss for iPod
Posted by Sachin Garg on 1st February 2006 | Permanent Link
TARGUS Australia has released two addons for iPod and iPod mini.
The devices are described as:
Two neat little devices that enhance iPod and iPod mini musical output, expanding the musical envelope and providing three-dimensional sound, release sounds that are trapped in the compression process, revealing instruments and voices from the original recordings that could not previously be heard and putting back the rich tones and spatial orientation of live music.
Some time back, we talked about soundcards from Creative which advertised similar features.
To quote again from discussion there, lost information is lost, recreating might help improving perceived quality a bit but it can never be as good as original. Lossless audio compression is the way to go.
