Nope, I mean -5db.
It sounds like wrap around distortion to me but will defer to others
as to what type it is. Things just get screwed with birds over 5,000
cycles with any type of loudness.
I best use my own sound file rather than dis anothers perfectly good
stuff.
First call is a minidisc recording and the second half is the same
recording burned to redbook cd and played back under the cheap CD
player by line out into my RME A/D. It sounds like the same junk with
any high pitched loud birds and this is not the first cheap cd I have
heard this problem on. This is why the only work around I can see is
to not master over -5db. Let me know what all of you think.
