  1. Well, I got my unit back yesterday. I cannot tell a diff., but have been without my unit for more than 2 weeks. ;-)
  2. I ordered the upgrade just now. Will report back once I get my DAC back from Schiit.
  3. I currently have a non-Uber Bifrost feeding a pair of Audioengine A5+ speakers. Do you think I would notice the improvement with the new card on this modest system?
  4. I just caught Qobuz doing the same thing with its web-sold 24/96 of the new Depeche Mode album, Delta Machine!
  5. Thanks, Julf. I am hoping others with this set can come forward and verify the same thing with their sets. I really appreciate the insights!

The 24/192 vs. 24/96 conundrum has me baffled and worried more.
  7. I transcoded the 24/192 from HDTracks using SoX on my PC to a 24/96 set. The 24/96 files came out much larger than the original 24/192's, so I suspect something is definitely not right with the 24/192's. I have never had such transcoded 24/96 files come out larger bytewise than the original 24/192's from which I downsampled. I looked for 16 vs. 24 bit as well, and saw 8 wasted bits when I used on the first track: flac -ac foo.flac | findstr wasted_bits What explains the 24/96 downsamples being *larger* than their 24/192 counterparts? Are they upsampled?

  9. Hope I did these all right! These three are for "New Speedway Boogie." Photo Album - Imgur
  10. I just took a look at "Black Peter." Looks like the frequencies top off around 46kHz. "Uncle John's Band" tops just shy of 47kHz.

  11. NP. Thank you all so much for your help!
  12. Are these good enough? HOSA HPE-325 1/4" TRS Male to 1/4" TRS Female Headphone Extension Cable in Headphone Extension Cables | JR.com Thanks.
  13. I did some research online today and have decided to try out the Denon AH-D2000's. I need about 10 more feet of cord, though. Is any headphone old extension cable really all right? Thanks.
