| Oppo Vs Esoteric If you want to watch or listen economically, get the Oppo-205.If you want to watch or listen well get the Oppo-205 and send it to Modwright.As I thought, the modifications have nothing to do with video. Therefore, it's unclear the relevance/accura... | |
| Does It have to be loud? This post of mine is rather apropos at this time, and for this particular thread, IMO.Besides the fact that the new Stereophile Recommended Components issue is out and the Triton Reference is listed in CLASS A - FULL RANGE, and happens to be the *... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I wanted to convert these to the same bit depth and sample rate and in .wav format (storage is so cheap now). While I certainly do agree that "cheap" or "expensive" is subjective, I humbly submit you are probably making a mistake to store as wav (... | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric If you want to watch or listen economically, get the Oppo-205.If you want to watch or listen well get the Oppo-205 and send it to Modwright.Does Modwright do "anything" with the video? I thought their modifications were strictly audio related. | |
| Oppo UDP - 205 I am hoping if some of you have compared one such Sony SACD player to the Oppo, which one is better for SACD stereo/surround?Hi atacgene. Welcome to the forum. I don’t think this discussion ended :) My view is it’s never to late to resurrect a thr... | |
| Should I re-rip? @audioengr Don’t feel bad Steve. The OP didn’t even acknowledge me once - let alone thank me - for the "free advice" I provided.My job is to shed light, and not to master. :)EDIT:And extremely meaningful advice too, for that matter. | |
| Does It have to be loud? As far the definition of Decibel you found it. Sound intensity or volume indeed doubles for roughly each 3dB in SPL which is a mathematical certainty due to the formula.Nope!Shadorne. Apparently you have as much of a problem reading as you do list... | |
| Does It have to be loud? +1 @geoffkait And coming from me that’s a rave! :) | |
| Should I re-rip? so how do I now do a batch conversion of my music from FLAC to WAV? Help! There is such a thing as "Trader's Little Helper" :) Google it.... | |
| Does It have to be loud? You added the word "irrespective". I’m sure you do understand that this is the key here. 100 dba at 2 feet, or 100 dba at -for example- 20 feet DOES differ, and so does the distortion. Hello @han_nNot to belabor this, and frankly at this pointy I’... | |
| Does It have to be loud? @shadorne As I promised to obtain a response beyond that of my own, the following comes courtesy of Golden Ear forum moderator.....---------------------The "non-linearity" he's referring to, and the associated distortion, is extremely low, inaudib... | |
| Does It have to be loud? @shadorne I’m hopeful to have a more technical and comprehensive response to your 03-05-2018 12:34pm post.However, at face value I see no issue. In fact, the non-linearity data that you are now reporting I previously disclosed.As I look at the gra... | |
| Does It have to be loud? Another point is that I was talking about SPL at the listening position. (in my case 4.0 meter) I now realize that some measure 107 dba at 2 feet.@han_nHello han. Just letting you know that I’m aware that you are referring to sound pressure at the... | |
| Does It have to be loud? All I know is the Doors, L.A. Woman sounds best cranked! Absolutely! | |
| Does It have to be loud? @shadorne The article that you provided indicates: "Expressed as a formula, the intensity of a sound in decibels is 10 log10 (S1/S2), where S1 and S2 are the intensity of the two sounds; i.e., doubling the intensity of a sound means an increase of... |
