computer-audio

In a perfect world, I'd like to have something to put in my bedroom that connects to my DAC that I can control from my computer in another room and use to stream stuff. So I would play something on my computer, and it would play over my setup in the next room. If this doesn't exist I could...

Hi all, I tripped accross this site about a week ago and have researched everynight since.   I had no idea it would be this confusing getting starting again.  Back in the day you could pickup a copy of stereo review buyers guide and every piece of equipment was listed in it.  I had all of the...

Hi everyone i just made the switch from mp3 to flac a few days ago and by god even with my ****ty onboard soundcard it still sounds 3x better then mp3. My question is why on earth would the standard still be mp3? I mean sure size but even that is not a factor anymore with harddrives becoming...

I'm trying to rip CD's using EAC. I want to rip both WAV and MP3 CBR 320 and I have some questions.    - Ripping wav, it just shows "Track 1, 2.." ect, is there a way to make it name them correctly? - How do I compress to MP3? I tried some guides and I can't really get it to work   How...

My soundcard on my desktop is shot and the one I bought to replace it isn't cooperating.  It's a pci-e sound card and I ran into an install error that hundreds of others had hit aswell and there's been no fix listed.  Now I want a USB DAC (I'm currently using a $3 USB soundcard that occasionally...

Today i ripped my Acoustic Alchemy CD to FLAC, then all of the songs were in one folder. Is there a sottware that organizes my music and automatically put them into the right album folder that they need to be in? I know ITunes has ti but it's only for MP3 filetypes.

I download this http://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_out_wasapi  Then I extract the .dll to my foobar components folder. I have absolutely no idea what I am supposed to do with the exe files, except I know I need the 64bit version, because there is no documentation included. Even the...

Digital audio has been around for almost 30 years since the launch of the first CD player back in 1982 in Japan. In the early days, CDs were issued alongside with LPs, recordings were done mainly by analog gears. The criticisms on quality of early CDs due very much to the immature technology by...

Just wanted to share how much I am enjoying this machine. It seems to have a higher quality headphone output than "most laptops on the market". I have disabled beats and the primary sound driver, that mangle the sound horrendously, and use Foobar > Wasapi push 24 bit. Like this it sounds really...

So I apologize in advance for my lack of flow, my thought process is jumbled and misinformed at best.   So I want a great sound system starting off at around $600. It would be powered by my computer (Spotify, love that ****) and would be used at tailgates and fraternity parties. When not in...

I am using foobar and when I have I am using ASIO whenever I go to play a new song there is a bit off a stutter for the first 1-2 seconds of the song and the beginning audio is cut off. It only happens when in asio, what is the problem?

I've been using the waspi plugin with foobar for more than a year. Then in the last few weeks I start getting pops and clicks during music playback.  Sometimes I can unplug my dac and it will work again for a while. I've done a reinstall of foobar latest version and then added the latest waspi...

Hi there! Right so recently I bought a new PC...Now I'm buying accessories for my PC, on the list I got now is Headset for gaming and an audio manipulator or something along those lines.. I got 2.0 Bookshelf speakers "Microlab SOLO7C" What I'm looking to do is hook it up to some sort of...

Hey guys,   Brand new user. I'm just starting to get into paying proper attention to sound, so I'll be asking a lot of questions in the future as I go from know-nothing to (hopefully) a quality student of sound preservation.   Anyway, before I get into the fun stuff, I have to get my...

I've just started using the dBpoweramp, having switched from media monkey secure ripping of all of my files. I had previously tried EAC but one rip took like 5 hours and all were inaccurate. So I ripped some cd's last night and got a little better results. One album had only like 5 songs out of...

So First off..Hello this is my first post on Head-fi and am looking forward to your responses. Second let me point out this is a set up for a gaming Rig I am building. My first question involves Sound Cards. I was looking into buying the Asus Phoebus sound card..pairing it with an AMP and...

Hi all. I'm currently using an old laptop running Linux as my source, connected via USB to an external DAC and then on to my stereo amp. The laptop is getting old though and I just can't seem to get on with the Ubuntu interface. What I'd really like is a new laptop running Windows 7 and...

I have all my music as FLAC.  And I have a converted set as MP3 for portable use.   Is there a tagging software that has the feature of copying the tags from the MP3s and updating the FLACs with the new info?  As it is periodically changed.

For a long time now I have been trying to cure the buzzing that occurs at medium-to-high volume when the amplifier is connected to my PC. This is not a hum that sounds like the typical ground loop at either 50hz or 60hz. This is an electric hissing noise with occasional clicks, and a high pitch...

I wonder if someone can help me with the problems I've been having with Flac files. Recently I joined the B&W Society of Sound, which offers Flac downloads by subscription. I can play these no problem on my computer, through my new B&W MM1s. I have two MP3 players, a Sansa Clipzip and a Hisound...

Hi, I recently upgraded from 2 gigs to 4 gigs of RAM on my late-'09 MacBook Pro, and the increase in sq was tremendous when using Amarra. Would an upgrade to 8 gigs result in another significant upgrade, or something minimal/marginal? Thanks!

I have a strange configuration. I will try to describe it and why it's setup the way it is.   First, I run and host WebEx-style meetings for hours a day. My phone interface is an iPhone 4S since my landline does not do free toll calls, which drives most of my calls to my cell phone...
