HE-ACC + SBR is the codec used in Hybrid Digital Radio, Digital Radio
Mondiale, and DAB+.  It provides FM quality sound at only 24 kbit/s.

It makes no difference to the computer inside the radio whether the 24
kbit/s data arrived by wire, wireless, a floppy disc, or CD.  Data is
data.  It will all sound the same.

And why would the computer that's receiving the AAC stream care about
that?

The frequency response sounds like that of FM, but it has that swishy sound of compressed

1)  The ACC is an athletic conference within the NCAA.  You mean AAC.

2)  There is no such thing as "Hybrid Digital" radio.  "HD Radio" is a
trademark of iBiquity Digital Corp for their IBOC implementation, and
the "HD" doesn't mean anything in particular.  IBOC has three modes of
operation:  hybrid, extended hybrid, and all digital.  All three are
part of "HD Radio."

3)  "HD Radio" uses a codec known as HDC (a.k.a. "HD Codec").  While
iBiquity has acknowledged that it uses SBR, they have pointedly
declined to discuss whether or not it has any other similarity to HE-
AAC. I doubt that you could cite an authoritative source, but if you
could I would love to know about it.

Actually I just had my ears tested, and I still have high frequency
response up to 18,000 hertz.  I doubt a man of your advance age
(somewhere around 55?), can say the same.

If you bothered to TRY those stations, instead of being a close-minded
old grandpa, you'd probably be surprised how good they sound.

Oh well.

That's a fair assessment.  I find it comparable to the constant
background "hiss" that plagues FM.

I guess it's a good thing AM-HD stations broadcast at 40 kbps then.

False.  Go look it up on wikipedia, and you will see a link to an
email from the HD Alliance.  That email confirms that HD means Hybrid
Digital.

(1) Wikipedia states it is AAC.

(2) Even if wiki is wrong, you find that SBR codecs are the most-
advanced.  Take MP3pro for example, which is essentially MP3 + SBR.
It routinely ties with AAC+SBR in listening tests.

(3) iBiquity has already stated it is "based on MPEG4", the most-
advanced standard currently available for audio compression.

So to summarize: We know definitely that it's MPEG4 with SBR.  We know
wikipedia states it is based upon AAC.  It's safe to make an educated
guess that HDC == MPEG4 AAC+SBR, or a derivation thereof.

iNiquity wants to piggy-back on the gullible public's awareness that
HDTV means "high definition TV".

We b/c engineers know that HD Radio means High Distortion Radio.

But can you recognize music?  Any concept of tone?

I'd trust Dave Brubeck's ancient ears over mine and mine over yours.

Tin ear.

You have no idea how old I am.

I have actually listened to several radios and have experimented with 
different bandwidths, which is something you haven't done but I noticed 
being ignorant doesn't slow you down a bit.

Sorry to get a little technical with you as I realize you are a pretend 
digital engineer.

The problem for you is that you have a tin ear for life. Young or old 
you will never know what sounds good.

Yes I know what's music, thank you very much.  I bet you were a lot
more open-minded when you were in your twenties.  (And your parents
probably wondered why you listened to that Big Band and Jazz stuff,
and thought you had poor taste.)

Now you've turned into them.

Close-minded.

So NO you didn't bother to listen to the HE-AAC encodings, and have no
clue how they sound.  Thanks for clarifying that.  -----  You should
not judge something of which you've never heard.  That's like saying
"chocolate ice cream tastes bad" when you've never even tried any.

I bet you were a lot cooler person in your 20's.  More open-minded.
But now you've lost that - you've turned into a close-minded,
arrogant, and rude man ("Troy has a tin ear").

What would your mother think if she saw how you talk to others?

Actually, I wasn't.  I would suffer fools more than, but not now.

My parents had great taste in music that spanned genres and eras --
you could find Bach and B-52s in their collection.

Thank you for the kind complement!  They were some of the most
open-minded people out there.

Now why don't you go out and continue pissing off some of the most
premier engineers in this field?  You're doing wonders for your future
employability.

The players (companies) are the same as the ones who implement
AAC+SBR, e.g. Fraunhaufer and Coding Technologies and Neural, aren't
they.

I find this ironic coming from the person who insulted me FIRST.
What?  You think it's okay to insult me, but heaven forbid I try to
defend myself from such vicious attacks?

Hypocrite.

If you don't want me insulting you, then you should call me "tin ear"
