Looks like they give a 128kbps wav file. Not exactly audiophile quality unfortunately.



The sample rate is 8kHz, which means the Nyquist frequency is 4kHz. Slowing it back down won't sound good, but frequencies below 400hz will be present.

Here's a 8kHz .wav slowed down to 1/10: http://dump.elektronaut.no/post/ak52_1x.wav

edit: You probably need a subwoofer or a decent pair of headphones to appreciate the rumble.


Awesome, this deep rumble is oddly soothing in my MDR-7506s.
