Clari-Fi: Addressing The MP3 Sound Problem
Music used to be recorded with analogue mediums like tape. The signal from a microphone was directly impressed onto the tape, preserving it with minimum modification.
With the newer digital medium, data is encoded and compressed with mathematical algorithms to reduce file sizes. Furthermore, with the widespread use of portable digital audio players, popular compression algorithms (like MP3 and AAC) further reduce file sizes as much as 90%, at the expense of fidelity. The more audio files' sizes are reduced, and signals converted from analogue to digital (and then back again), the more sound waves get clipped, and gain high-frequency digital artifacts that reduce the enjoyment of the sound.
Intunition has created a device that cleans up the unwanted byproducts of digital file processing (encoding, compression and AD/DA conversions) in real-time, resulting in more clear, pleasant sound reproduction.
