Using DSP on low bitrate file (MP3<160kbit/s) seems to improve the quality slightly. I find OK listening to very high bitrate file or lossless without DSP.
Then, I do frequency graph test on MP3 b4 DSP and after DSP.
a 192 kbit/s MP3 b4 DSP, I can see a clear cut at 19 kHz, but after DSP it's frequency graph looks like original wave with no cutoff at all!
a 128 kbit/s MP3 after DSP, it looks like a 192 kbit/s MP3 with cutoff at 18 kHz???
Is the DSP synthesising High - end frequency like MP3PRO SBR?
