A ‘raw’ master, and the ‘masters’ that are send to the streaming services.īefore publishing the music, the studio engineer must always adapt or convert the ‘final raw’ master to the format required by a (streaming) service. And even then, we’re not quite there yet, because mastering engineer Sander van der Heide told us during a visit to the Wisseloord Studios that every streaming service has specific requirements. In order to test the music properly, it is important that we have the same source versions, namely the studio masters. We play the music on the Alpha Audio reference set: We have turned off all filters in Roon and also the Nakamichi plays without noise suppression. The turntable is kindly made available by Adri from A3 Longplay, thank you very much! The records and master-files have been made available by Music on Vinyl. To level all the sources, so we can hear all tracks at the same volume, we use a dB-meter from Velleman. WAV-files were transfered to the tape-deck with Vox music player in Mac OSX ( Macbook Pro ), via USB to the Violectric DHA V590 DAC/preamp. Iseki Milltek Green Moving coil cartridge (high-output).Nakamichi CR-1 cassette deck ( approx 1990 ).Tidal HiFi subscription (played through Roon).In order to do that properly, the approach is crucial. More specifically: we compare streaming services with vinyl and cassette. So in this test we directly compare streaming with analog.
