Davesrose replied to the thread Seeking Insights on DAC Inputs: Eversolo Streamers vs. Custom Streaming PC.Don't be fooled by some claims that 1's and 0's are different with various component's digital connections: with today's specs, they go...

Davesrose replied to the thread Reference playback.And since 320 is the download for standard mp3, that's why I haven't fooled with seeing what's the best setting for a codec with...
-
Davesrose replied to the thread Reference playback.It seems for downloading, the common files are either FLAC or 320kbps mp3. I get the 320kbps mp3 and don't do anything further. If I...

Davesrose replied to the thread Dali's Soft Magnetic Composite Driver.Yes, seeing as most music is remastered from analog tapes or 44.1/48 digital..."hi-res" is more a marketing gimmick for music. I think...
-
Davesrose replied to the thread Dali's Soft Magnetic Composite Driver.But Tidal and Qobuz are different services right? Do you have both apps, or are they served through the Roon app? If they're different...
-
Davesrose replied to the thread Dali's Soft Magnetic Composite Driver.I don't think bitrate is really an issue with today's internet. Cell data now exceeds 100Mbps. Same is true with BT if your headphones...
-
Davesrose replied to the thread Dali's Soft Magnetic Composite Driver.Studies indicate that AAC is transparent at 128kbps stereo, for example. That means it's the limit of average human hearing. There are...
-
Davesrose replied to the thread Dali's Soft Magnetic Composite Driver.The minimum bitrate for audible transparency is dependent on codec. Some are more efficient and can have a lower bitrate The argument...
-
Davesrose replied to the thread Dali's Soft Magnetic Composite Driver.Well the best nuanced term for a lossy file that's 24/96 would be "lossy hi-res". Pretty sure marketers wouldn't go for that :grinning...
-
Davesrose replied to the thread Dali's Soft Magnetic Composite Driver.AAC itself can get up to 48kHz (sampling rate) in this scenario
-
Davesrose replied to the thread Dali's Soft Magnetic Composite Driver.Sure, then that gets further into whether there are any academic reasons for "lossy hi-res" We've both been having to preface: this is...
-
Davesrose replied to the thread Dali's Soft Magnetic Composite Driver.I was just interjecting if there’s theoretical advantages with lossy 24/96. Technically, LDAC 990kbps is capable of “lossless” (CD...
-
Davesrose replied to the thread Dali's Soft Magnetic Composite Driver.If LDAC 990kbps meets every metric of an uncompressed 16/44.1 file/stream, then it is lossless.
-
Davesrose replied to the thread Dali's Soft Magnetic Composite Driver.Was thinking the same thing....plus the Sony and Samsung could have their own EQ settings.
-
Davesrose replied to the thread Dali's Soft Magnetic Composite Driver.Your claim was that 1,411kbps was the minimum rate for lossless, when that’s the rate for uncompressed. Think the actual numbers should...
