| I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately ejr1953 - McIntosh is still at Magnolia. As I said, some select Best Buys now have high end Magnolia stores in them.. Only these higher level Magnolias have McIntosh and Sonus Faber. Maybe your store was not chosen for the higher level for some... | |
| I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately Fine Sounds now owns McIntosh as well as Sonus Faber, Audio Research, Wadia, Sumiko and Fine Sounds Asia. The company started in 2007 when an investment company (Quadrivio) bought Sonus Faber. Mauro Grange became CEO of Sonus Faber in 2009. ... | |
| FLAC vs WAV jwm - look at my data above. Flac 0 is less compressed, but not by much - 39% for level 0, 42% for level 6 for my file. And, according to the flac gurus decompressing for 0 or from 5 or 6 takes essentially the same amount of processor time. | |
| FLAC vs WAV ddruveman - I think I started the idea that flac 0 is uncompressed here. But now we know that flac 0 is not uncompressed. I have have had it wrong for a while. You need to go to dBpoweramp to actually get uncompressed. Personally I still used fl... | |
| FLAC vs WAV I have been looking at flac compression levels some more .Let me clarify uncompressed flac, since I confused flac 0 and uncompressed above.Flac 0 is not uncompressed. It is the lowest level of flac compression, but it is still far from uncompresse... | |
| FLAC vs WAV audioman58 - Level 8 is the most compressed version of flac, not the highest uncompressed level.This is a bigger issue than just cables and regenerating usb signals. You may want to do some reading on these issues. | |
| FLAC vs WAV From the dBpoweramp site"Compression affects how much effort goes into compressing the audio, all compression modes give the same decoded audio (it is lossless after all), the higher compression levels will give a small % file size saving, b... | |
| FLAC vs WAV You just use a conversion program or ripper that outputs a flac file. When you output flac there should be a compression option, with 0 as one of the options. The default is usually level 6. I would use JRiver, the player I use. I am pretty sure d... | |
| FLAC vs WAV The comparison between using the ERC-3 or the PC as a transport is, of course, not a good way to make the comparison. It sounds like you also compare the FLAC and WAV both played back from the same computer and using the same equipment. That is a... | |
| FLAC vs WAV Just as you assume flac is indeed lossless, I think it is fair to assume that the decompression algorithm on any reasonable player does its job correctly.Have you tried zero compression flac? It is not compressed but has a flac header?Systems that... | |
| Levinson 532h vs Ampzilla 2000 don_c55 - I love my 432. The Levinson characteristics are not a drawback in my system. They fit nicely. I agree that Levinson is not what it used to, but some of their products are still very good.To each his own. | |
| Levinson 532h vs Ampzilla 2000 don_c55 - Actually there are a lot of positive posts on the 532h. The one consistent negative is that the service is expensive and slow. But there are a lot of positive posts about the sound. Some have noted that the 532h can be somewhat laid back... | |
| New format, dislike..... Finally put my systems into my profile, after all these years. No pictures, just lists of equipment. But it is a start.Thanks. | |
