SNOOP DOGG PRESENTS… DEATH ROW SUMMER (Official Discussion)

[Safe+Sound]

Sounds like an external hardware issue. The quality is crystal clear assuming it was purchased from iTunes.

Nah, hardware's cool. I got a 320 kbps rip from a direct source, put the files in a sound spectrum analyzer – 95% of the songs r in poor 128 quality  Shit's trash.
That's really somethin I hate about this digital only age, smh...

EDIT:
Got me the iTunes version and some tracks r slightly better

[Safe+Sound]

Digital has actually gotten so good it's nearly indistinguishable from analog. It's really up to the artists on whether they: 1. Have a good production team and equipment and 2. Decide to release in hi-res.

Miles Davis' Kind Of Blue in 24-bit 192kHz is a masterpiece. There's really no beating it when played though the right gear and room treatments.

Maybe because Apple got lossless files but I’m not an expert.

[Safe+Sound]

Apple uses AAC encoded with 256 Kbps by default. Sample rate is 44.1 kHz. It's near-CD quality but technically from a bit-wise perspective, it falls short because the encoding is lossy. So it's not 100% identical to CD quality. When expanded back to a .wav format to match the bits on a CD, the expanded bits from the AAC file would not match perfectly with the bits on the CD because of the lossy encoding. It's claimed that the bitrate of the encoding used on iTunes files imparts no human-perceptible loss in the audio when compared to the source CD material. This sort of stuff is harder to verify, requiring double blind tests and the opinions of hopelessly fallible human beings.

[Proc pka KP]

The best song from this album.

No question. Jay J talking that Whoopty Whoop from Turkey.
