| WAV versus FLAC There were suggestions of first extracting FLAC to WAV and then play it. I haven't tried that so far. Does anyone around here know a reasonable way of first converting FLAC to WAV before playback? I'm on a Mac and use Max software to do those kind... | |
| There are new audiophiles born everyday Brilliant! LMAO and cheering at the same time! Beethoven would be proud! The finale is worth watching it all the way through for. Thanks for sharing that. | |
| So what is the best speaker you have ever owned? My current speakers are certainly the best I've owned; Audiomachina Pure System Mk. II - tonal accuracy, extension, imaging, bass control...they simply sound more real....spookily so at times. It would be more difficult to come up with anything th... | |
| WAV versus FLAC Yes that is some what my point. If there is a difference in the formats it will be at the extreme highend of the frequency. Not sure many of us really (myself included) here it anyway.I guess my point is the difference is very small, and our syste... | |
| WAV versus FLAC I do not want an argument but I would test your ears and equipment before speaking about the last bit of air... follow the link and SORRY if it makes you sad....I'm pretty sure you'd be the only one questioning Alex's equipment here. On the test s... | |
| WAV versus FLAC As has been pointed out, WAV does not support metadata. This makes it a royal PITA to deal with if you need to restore from a backup, or move files, or want to share files. I refuse to use WAV for this reason alone. As far as one sounding warmer a... | |

| Audio's Biggest Loser? My system currently tips the scales at just over 500 lbs. Ouch! In 35+ years of this craziness, I cannot actually think of lightweight components that could not be outdone by their heavyweight counterparts. Not to say the former are not good. I th... | |
| Most Beneficial Cable Upgrade You might also want to consider installing dedicated circuits to your system where the ground is isolated. A qualified electrician can do this for you at a fairly reasonable cost. At greater cost you can put in full-on wall system that covers your... | |
| Why the obsession with the lowest octave As far as the lowest octave, Cmon general question for all of you.How many of you actually got into this in the beginning the very begining. You didnt hear airy and transparent highs and glorious midrange that got you in when you were a kid. It wa... | |
| Why the obsession with the lowest octave I never thought low bass was a "male" thing...new concept to hear someone say that.One need only attend a single show, look around at a dealer, or pay attention to who is posting here in these and other audiophile forums, to know that this is by f... | |
| Why the obsession with the lowest octave Mine goes to eleven! I'd agree that quality of bass, and control as well as balance, is all very important. Just because a speaker can reproduce down to XXhz does not mean that it does a convincing job in portraying those lower frequencies and the... | |
