Pierre, how would you define your profession?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A real passionate profession which has invaded everything but has also brought me in touch with all my childhood dreams! I\u2019ve had the privilege of collaborating with almost all of my \u201cmusical heroes\u201d on stage and in the studio! I even have the chance to teach it today in prestigious institutions such as the Abbey Road Institute and several universities.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What role does listening to music play in your life?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A prominent role, of course. My whole universe revolves around beautiful musical sounds! And for me, there are two very distinct types of listening. Professional listening usually takes place in the studio, necessarily involving very close listening, with all distractions eliminated. More audiophile listening is often done at home in my sound room, when the household is asleep, with Sennheiser HD800S headphones on my ears.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t

How much attention do you pay to sound quality?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I consider that as sound professionals, we are to some extent the guarantors of its integrity. It\u2019s so frustrating to spend weeks or months on an album and hear it in a degraded version on platforms with few scruples in this regard. This is one of the first principles we strive to convey to our students: the requirement for quality!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How long have you been using Audirv\u0101na? What did you think when you discovered it?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I discovered Audirv\u0101na about 5 years ago. For me, up until then quality listening couldn\u2019t be done via the computer, however practical. When I discovered Audirv\u0101na, first my Macs and then my PCs simply changed status. Equipped with quality external converters, they\u2019ve become my favourite listening platforms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How do you rate listening from your computer with Audirv\u0101na compared with other equipment? <\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

When I listen to music now, I hardly ever use anything other than the computer and my big audiophile player, both equipped with high-performance DACs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Yes, whenever I can\u2026 and I beg my students to stop listening on iTunes and YouTube! It\u2019s become a game to have them do some \u201cblind test\u201d comparisons of the four or five possibilities that exist on the market at the very start of their course!\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0Inevitably\u2026 we choose Audirv\u0101na time after time! For the clarity and transparency of the diffusion, the absence of interference from power supply noise, and the indisputable spectral and geographic depth, whatever the quality of the medium. Of course, when you have real sources in high definition\u2026 the demonstration becomes even more efficient! For future top sound professionals, the question won\u2019t even need asking\u2026<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
