All Albums Signal Processing:
Signal Processing: 'Best SINC Interpolator' 192KHz Samplerate and 24-bit integer Sample width set for encoding


Post Processing:
 None

Note:
 All New encodings were set to 192khz sample rate and Lateralus was encoded three different times with different options set: No Adaptive Joint Stereo, No Joint Stereo, Joint Stereo Enabled, Adaptive Joint Stereo Enable, Exaustive Model Search and Optimize LPC quantization checked on one encoding without Stereo enabled at all. Just take a look above on what i used for encoding. The Sony mdr10rc high resolution headphones arent using a lot of the power from the battery so im using these to make alot power go out of the phones into my ears. the sound got better after finding out i could encode with 192khz this time around. these encodings are turning out good. my ears have to constantly listen to the albums for good results about certain things on how about the technology can be sort of used to some good godly and centered health reason though in this way i use the player and encoding ive always known of those results going into the first time i heard tool its wonderful to listen to it for good health. its really good music btw. adam jones is a wonderful guitar player and i so darn inventive and maynard makes me think there is someone in the world that has a good and reality grip on what the heck a spiritual worth in words (usually) go into and out of the minds occluson the idea he portrays (whoopsie!) is like very good and spiritual and he makes me feel like someone really cares for the other side of what the world simple unbecomes in the mundane. sony is however the detail of a great technology and im glad tool and sony made up to me the best life in sorts ive ever realized!
