Sample Rate Converter - for Converting High Definition 88.2/96/176.4/192 kHz Audio to CD / iTunes / iPod Format

A perfect result is a single spectrogram trace with no spurious generated tones (completely black background). See this page for comparisons with other SRCs.

 

RIAA Correction Curve Accuracy

Measurement Conditions: Sample Rate 192 kHz / Resolution 24 bit

  • +0.06, -0.00 dB, 20 Hz - 10 kHz (+0.01, -0.00 dB, from 20 Hz - 3 kHz)
  • Rising gradually to <+0.2 dB at 20 kHz and +1.0 dB at 50 kHz*

  • Interchannel Amplitude Deviation: 0 dB
  • Interchannel Phase Deviation: 0 degrees

*The response rise at high frequencies represents a deliberate compromise between the standard RIAA curve and the newer, "modified" RIAA curve, which calls for an additional compensation filter "corner frequency" (amounting to +3 dB at 50 kHz) to compensate for vinyl cutter head rolloff. We have taken a moderate approach (+1 rather than +3 dB at 50 kHz and +0.175 instead of +0.6 dB at 20 kHz).
