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.

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.

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. > 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. (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.

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

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?

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. -- Eric F. Richards, efricha@dim.com "It's the Din of iBiquity." -- Frank Dresser

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"
