| New Apple TV & Airport Express Mceljo, Both, Apple TV and AE have problem:AE has huge jitter artifacts on analog outputs (much better on digital out) while Apple TV converts 44.1kHz CD sample rate to 48kHz loosing sound quality on conversion - subject of many complaints to Appl... | |
| Another CD-Player vs. PC question: In_shore, Many Jazz albums, World music, Indian Classical music to name the few genders. Anytime I find interesting record it is only audio CD. Perhaps the most common popular titles are available on LP. It is also possible that existing database ... | |
| USB veresus FIREWIRE? I only stated why they removed Firewire (did not cost Apple anything) from the Ipod. It was a big thread to security.from 2007:A security consultant based in New Zealand has released a tool that can unlock Windows computers in seconds without the ... | |
| Resolution: DSD vs 16bit vs 24 bit Tomcy6, AFAIK dither is not "done" but happens automatically. Imagine converting level that is exactly 50% between two LSB values. Because there is always some random noise LSB will oscillate 0 to +1 at about 50% rate. When value is at 3/4 then LS... | |
| Resolution: DSD vs 16bit vs 24 bit Mitch4t - Thanks! | |
| Resolution: DSD vs 16bit vs 24 bit Mofimadness, thank you. How do you place clickable link? | |
| USB veresus FIREWIRE? Companies are fighting for every penny. Change in video ports is an example. My wife used few company laptops over the years and every time port needed new adapter to connect to monitor. Ports are often the same but name and connector changed to a... | |
| Best HiRes/lossless format and why? One option is to remove timing by using networking. It will make computer and playback program (or format) irrelevant. It doesn't even matter that I use computer for other things (it is my main computer) at the same time. Timing is recreated on th... | |
| Amp improvement since 1994? Look at power supplies in the newest Rowland amps - they are line and load regulated high frequency (1MHz) switchers that are extremely quiet. For that reason he uses switchers in preamps (where efficiency plays no role) - instead of linear power ... | |
| Anyone into cassettes? I had AIWA AD-F810 long time ago. It had HX-PRO in addition to Dolby C. HX-PRO was a servo on the bias. In short, bias is non-audible high frequency recorded with music that reduces distortions of the tape. Not enough bias and sound becomes less c... | |
| CD Transports a relic or a good option? Aune/AN DVD players have inherent ability of decoding MP3 but play standard CD as it is - without compression. They offer pretty good tracking but got bad rap for sound because their analog output stage was often pretty bad.Digital cables can add substant... | |
| Computer vs CD/SACD discs AFAIK every computer buffers data in RAM before playback since music is stored on hard disk without timing as data and timing has to be always recreated. Hard disk has hefty cache buffer to start with. At the end everything comes to quality of fin... | |
| Another CD-Player vs. PC question: Czarivey, good observation. Early CD were often recorded from not properly corrected tapes and digitized with jittery A/D clocks. This type of recorded jitter cannot be suppressed and the only way out is to digitize again, assuming that analog tap... | |
| Should you tune room to headphones Mapman, Sound from each speaker comes to opposite ear with some delay creating image in front instead of the image in the center of the head. Some headphones have acoustic feedback from one cup to another but it can be also done by creating analog... | |
| Another CD-Player vs. PC question: Most of CDP play in real time. They have ability to error correct small amount of unreadable sectors or interpolate larger gaps but at one point they will start skipping. Computer CDP is under control of computer program used for playback. This pr... |
