| Converting Flac to Wav & Upconversion The first system I noticed the difference between AIFF and ALAC (compressed lossless) was with an iPhone 3GS docked to my car's Alpine Head Unit. Not even a very expensive set up. I used the Alpine's integrated amps and a set of Rainbow component ... | |
| Converting FLAC to WAV and keeping tags? AIFF is fairly universal. Like WAV, it is derived from an old Amiga IFF format and stores the data in lossless uncompressed. | |
| Esoteric K-01 and Aurender S10 compatibility We suggested this in another forum (because Esoteric uses a custom driver for their USB implementation and does not currently support Linux as an OS for the USB driver).http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1354751988&openmine&... | |
| Converting Flac to Wav & Upconversion FWIW, I think it's odd that different software players (that can be tested to show bitperfect output) can sound different playing back the same WAV or FLAC file. Heck, even different versions of the software can sound different playing back the sa... | |

| Converting FLAC to WAV and keeping tags? Actually it's either they hear no difference at all or WAV sounds better. | |
| Converting FLAC to WAV and keeping tags? I just stuck to AIFF which supports meta data and is uncompressed lossless.Some have had good results with FLAC set at 0 compression.WAV does support meta data now IIRC but getting the software that supports it seems to be difficult. | |

| Volume level of ARC Ref 5 seems very high For me, there is audible bass and there is tactile bass which is transmitted through the floor, the sofa etc. I am getting a fair bit more of that with the Rothwells installed and at a lower level SPL than what I normally listen to. w/o the Rothwe... | |
| Volume level of ARC Ref 5 seems very high I noticed that while the SPL with the Rothwells in and the ARC at 35 was about 70-78dB for one of the pieces I was listening to, and w/o the Rothwells, the SPL was ard the same level when the ARC was at 25, there was a tactile feedback I was getti... | |
| Unsatisfied with Esoteric K-01: Alternatives? I use an XDS1 and MPS5 thru a tube preamp (ARC 5SE and Ayon CD5S). | |
| Volume level of ARC Ref 5 seems very high I live outside the US so my dealer got me a new unit and handled the upgrade on his own. | |
| Volume level of ARC Ref 5 seems very high Still loving it :)Running it in was a bit painful. It was great out of the box. Then not. Then worse. Then eureka :) | |
| How to convert FLAC to WAV ? I find AIFF more convenient because it stores meta data. I think it sounded better than ALAC but presents slightly differently from WAV. | |
