| Digital LP’s Most modern recordings are made digitally, these days. They're just made at much higher resolutions and bitrates than what comes out on CD (16/44) and various other download formats. Usually, the digital masters will use a resolution of at lea... | |
| Digital LP’s Virtually all vinyl is now mastered from digital. My best sounding vinyl are these. It’s all about the bit rate of the mastering. If it’s redbook (16/44) it will sound no better than CD, which IMO is not very good. Most albums are now mastered a... | |
| Why do Wav and Flac Files Sound Different? Now you tell me Dave and Troy !. After the OP I re ripped all 400 CDs to wave. Now I have to re-rip back to FLAC so I can have cover art again. I wish you guys would make up my mind. Maybe I'll just wait for the thread to stop and count the... | |
| Why do Wav and Flac Files Sound Different? and I just ripped about 400 CDs in FLAC at the "5" setting.....onto the SSD of my Eversolo A8 So now I want to A/B the rip with the original CD, because the rips sound fine to me but haven't compared them back to back. | |
| Youtube audiophile hi res sounds MUCH better than my Eversolo streamer How are you getting YT through your stereo? It must be going through a DAC somewhere? | |

You then have to move the SSD files to the Library which was limited to a select each file individually (file being an artist’s file). " I’... | |
| High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ? An interesting experiment would be to take two DPDT switches like these And hook up two competing cables. With a simple throw of the switch one could easily A/B test cables. I wonder why this isn’t done by the cable sellers at audio shows. It wou... | |
| High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ? I like my 12 gauge radio shack cables to be flexible so they drape from ceiling to the Maggies hung from it. I think I have a few soldered splices in one of them because I didn't have a long enough length. So they match the small room. I mean... | |
| Does the streamer effect sound quality I don't have high end streaming equipment but according to Paul who certainly does seems to think CDs sound better. | |
| Bass lovers - Bela Fleck - Flight of the Cosmic Hippo Yeah, great CD. Amazing bass. Unique sound they had. Too bad it seems like it was a one time thing. I have several Bela Fleck and related CDs but nothing sounds like that one. | |
| Does the streamer effect sound quality But CDs sound better than any high end streamer right? Assuming the same DAC. | |
| Does a record player make that much of a difference?? Cartridge is the most important. Second is the phono pre. As long as the TT is not complete garbage it’s the least important. I don’t understand how one could argue otherwise. Unless one sells expensive TTs. | |
| Tubes, tone, and old age. atmaspher 12-07-2023 at 02:09pm And on a related note, what measurements - if there are any - show the difference in sound between SS and tubes? Could one see this on a frequency chart? Yes. Look at distortion vs frequency- if it begins ... | |
| Tubes, tone, and old age. And on a related note, what measurements - if there are any - show the difference in sound between SS and tubes? Could one see this on a frequency chart? I suspect that this is one of those areas where measurements tell us very little. | |
