| CD vs FLAC Binkleyc - I have done extensive listening comparisons between the two formats on my system, and have found the wav format to be better, usually by a significant margin.It seems the computeraudiophile article is saying if it can't be measured, it ... | |
| CD vs FLAC Remedy - I have done extensive comparisons between flac & wav formats and the wav format has won hands down. Something to think about.(You look back at my prior threads & find the one where we've discussed it pretty in depth, if you're int... | |
| Is HDtracks really selling you Hi-Rez music? Markalarsen - yes, Audirvana converts it to 24/88 PCM if you don't have a DSD-capable DAC.It sounds VERY good. | |
| Is HDtracks really selling you Hi-Rez music? I sent them an email asking them why they don't let us write reviews - and why they don't let us purchase individual songs. Thus far I've gotten ZERO response.I imagine it comes down to their bottom line - and both would potentially hurt that.HDTr... | |

| iPad "Remote" App for iTunes It's just a remote, and it in & of itself doesn't affect the sound; but if you're using the volume control built into iTunes it IS affecting your sound. As you turn the volume down, you're losing bits of information. | |
| Your most played songs Highend - if you like Rush, check out the song Clockwork Angels from the album of the same title. The intro is AWESOME. | |
| How to convert FLAC to WAV ? Doggie - I have a few AIFF files; not nearly enough to do any kind of comparison. Maybe after I finish the 'wav vs flac' I'll move to a 'wav vs aiff'.Do you think AIFF is better? | |
| How to convert FLAC to WAV ? I have been doing more comparisons and have concluded that Steve is absolutely correct. The wav files are better, and in many cases WAY better. And I was wrong: on 16/44 recordings they are better as well. The only downside is the files are HUGE.N... | |
| Power chord for Jadis D50Signature Acalex - I have a Jadis Orchestra and have experimented with DIY power cords and come up with a very good one. If you'd like to PM me I will give you the recipe. | |
| Netgear NAS Incompatibility with Mac OS X 10.68 Call Netgear; but prior to doing so, take a DEEP breath. Their call center/customer service center is AWFUL.I was routed to India and had to repeat everything no less than three times. After 2 or 3 call backs I finally got somebody who could help ... |
