No, because you still get to chose which entries to replicate.
I can't see why you can't understand that this makes any comparison invalid.

If you don't like the competition, just don't enter.

FWIW, I agree with nuffink

The competition is totally rigged and _will_ "show" that dynamix can replicate the "best" mastering chain in the competition.

Unless, ofcourse, the winner isn't replicatable by dynamix and wins anyway. But somehow I doubt that will happen

high quality debate there! 'nuffink' refers to the contents of your skull presumably?

It's no problem.
I can send you all the files we received till now/will receive in the future.
edit: without any personal data naturally...

No matter which statement will become true, I'm afraid, there is not much "headroom" in today's productions to go beyond 0dB.

This 0dB-fashion must come to an end, -12dB at 24bit resolution I consider as worth to listen to.
0dB saturates the nerves quite fast and leads to pulling down the listening volume or switch finally off. Soft compression for a better mix is ok, but 0dB limiting is a senseless competition nowadays.
(my personal opinion + of some of the few audiophiles out there).

Shure. I agree with you in this.

Anyway... even now CD is the leading medium in the music business, it's not over with it yet.

to keep this thread busy...

Also I hope it is not over yet with the CD medium. SACD and DVD-Audio are not so easy to convert to APE

, and I prefer to have my CD collection nicely sorted on a 300 GB disk. And the CDs from 10 years ago sound usually better than today's productions. So CD does not relally require that 0dB limiting, if this is what you wanted to say. Arvo Pärt CDs sound great, even if the level is about -30dB many minutes long, before the tutti enters the red LEDs.
