Wrong conclusion...

195.86.126.19

***Note that by looking at the difference between the Maximum and Average RMS Power (second last row), the statistics support the hypothesis that DSD has slightly higher dynamics (11.66dB) than MLP (11.55dB), which in turn is slightly higher than CD (11.47). Note also that normalizing the DSD recording does not change the relative differences.
***

CD MLP DSD DSD normalized
Minimum RMS Power (dB): -84.25 -89.10 -87.56 -83.67
Maximum RMS Power: -6.67 -6.66 -11.15 -7.26

-6.66dB is a higher peak amplitude than -7.26dB
and -89.1dB is a lower minimum amplitude than -83.67

The statistics show a **higher** dynamic range on the dvda!


Dynamic range compression isn't caused by a digital format.

In the dvda graph (right channel) you can observe clipping at a sample which has ***lower*** amplitude than the sample with the dashed yellow line. This could indicate that the sound clipped earlier in the recording/mixing chain in one if the (multi)tracks.

Since the dsd showes slightly higher noise levels is it could well be that due to the added noise the dsd shows a higher dynamic range than actually is the case because the signal + noise can offset cooledits statistic measurement feature.
