It bests anything I had used back in the early 2000s. Thanks for indulging my moment of nostalgia, but there is a point: Acon’s noise analysis and noise reduction engine is above-average in terms of accuracy, and it is very capable of generating satisfying results. I would be very interested to “see” their findings. I sent the folks at Infinite Wave a message, requesting that they include the Acon Digital SRC engine in their list of comparisons. Unfortunately, the SRC Comparison web site does not list Acon Digital’s SRC engine. I ‘hear’ fewer artefacts when I resample using Acon’s sample rate converter. I’ve compared the results with my other programs – R8Brain, Adobe Audition, Wavelab 7 (Elements), Sound Forge Audio Studio 9, and SOX. Sample Rate Conversion: This is an excellent, reasonably fast sample rate converter. In either case, the Phono Filter gives you a very believable preamp emulation and will lend itself to better vinyl transfers than its contemporaries. It sounds like a backwards set up, but it works to your advantage. You can post-process any recording originating from an LP this way by first applying the emphasis filter, perform declicking, and apply the deemphasis filter afterward. In some cases, you can achieve better results from the Declicker when you record an LP without the emulation of a phono preamplifier.
