Daniel is in RMAF, Chris should get more info directly from him. But I think he doesn't has the price yet. It is aimed to be a simple device and affordable, but still excellent in quality same as all other Weiss products. Look forward to hear more from you Chris on RMAF. I am going to Tokyo tonight for the TIAS: http://www.iasj.info/data/2009TIAS_pamph_web.pdf And HiEnd Audio Show: http://www.hi-endshow.jp/contents.html Bests, Kent

My recent test results with the current latest iTunes. - iTunes on OS/X outputs bit transparent from 16/44.1 to 24/192 - iTunes on PC outputs bit transparent at 16/44.1 - CD Ripping/Playback is good. - iTunes on PC truncates on 16bit = All high res. materials playback on PC iTunes are NOT bit transparent. More info should be posted once I have my blog back on track. Bests, Kent P.S.: My website and blog are down at the moment, we are pushing our current web hosting company to fix it and already made decision to transfer to a new service provider for more reliable / better performances.

Daniel corrected me that the latency checker does not work in Vista.

Hello higo, Hopefully the latest driver will solve all your problems. Otherwise you always have my mobile number / email to assist. Have you switch on the DPC latency checker? Bests, Kent

Thanks for your kind words audiozorro! Actually "My One and Only Love" is also my favorite song. I keep many version of this songs, and always listen to Sting's version from movie "Leaving Las Vegas" soundtrack CD. <br /> <br /> That's why I wanted to produce this song in audiophile setting. (especially the sax solo after the 1st chorus). Maybe I should consider putting that song for the next free sample, as we planned to have 3 free samples in Hi-Res from all 13 songs. <br /> <br /> Thank you for your support. I'm glad your enjoy the music and sound. <br /> <br /> Bests,<br /> Kent<br /> <br />

Dear all, It has been 7 black out days for our online activity. But finally we are now back online and many more content are waiting to be updated. Thanks for the support. Bests, Kent

Hello all, Indeed we recently has updated some of the blog components, and now the blog server is down. We are trying to fix it as soon as possible, thank you everyone for dropping by. Best regards from HK Kent

Hello Chris,<br /> <br /> Today is Chinese New Year here! We usually close down before the new year and gather for dinners with family members. Kung Hei Fat Choi to Chris and everyone in Computer Audiopile.com! Hope you all will have a great year of OX. We can all enjoy more good quality hardwares and softwares. <br /> <br /> It is a big surprised that Chris really wrote a review for our release! And suddenly brought a lot of login to download our free samples. It is really my honor and thank you for all comments. I suddenly met many many more audio lovers online and being interact with everyone gain my sight in a large degree. The Audiophile Jazz Prologue I, II, III were recorded in 2 different sessions. One session was over 7 years ago and one over 4 years ago. The recording formats were mixed between 24/96, 24/192 and pure DSD in multitrack, and we put those data on the booklet. <br /> <br /> Everything in this albums are made with intentions. You will not believe I wanted to release this album (Part III) on year 2005-2006, after Part II was released on SACD. We tried many different algorithms that can help us to achieve the sound we want in our head. Everything is selected by lengthly comparisons, nothing is by guessing or preconceptions. <br /> <br /> Regarding the bandwidth, I don't think anything wrong that a recording without much signal above 20kHz. As an old school professional engineer, even any above 10kHz are not "working area". This is also one point that the audiophile community may different with pro audio world. From my experiences, high freq. content are not the reason why high sampling rate recordings can be better because we cannot hear those high freq. signals, but why still use high sampling rates?? The filters do affect the sound quality in great degree. <br /> <br /> What so interesting on this project, we provided all sampling rates so that the end users are able to compare. Everyone can listen to a hard copy - Premium Made CD-R, which needs to playback with a traditional CD transport. We had quite many local listening test presses, and big surprise to many presses that the 16bit/44.1kHz files can sound better than ultra high costs CD transports. They can also easily pick up differences between 96khz and 192kHz files. I will leave everyone to draw their own conclusion on sound quality, based on their listening setup. <br /> <br /> I greatly appreciate Chris introduced our recording to his readers, and I am sure he has readers all over the world because we got shipping address to almost everywhere in this planet! One thing I enjoy the most is Chris specific mentioned our recordings are not the type of recording that show off 10 second of "audio effects", but a live acoustic recording with good recording technique, equipment, and many listening tests behind it. I hope you all enjoy the sound and music and thank you so much for the support again. We are thrilled to have so many great comments from all around the world.<br /> <br /> In the future, we will produce some more experimental free audio examples to further target on this topic. <br /> <br /> Kung Hei Fat Choi! <br /> <br /> Bests,<br /> Kent <br /> <br />

Hello, I will wait Chris to introduce our recording because it is his forum and website. But you can now easily find the order link both on our blog and official website. We have sent the first online orders out this week. Thank you very much for the support. http://www.designwsound.com/dwsblog/?page_id=1065 Bests, Kent

Oh! We are having our high resolution files on a physical DVD for sales. Moreover, we even include a Premium made CD-R that we measure each of them and print out the individual report chart that match with the serial number on disc. http://www.designwsound.com/dwsblog/?p=1055 Next month we may have an internet downloadable sales online but to me, I treat it like a promotion only at the moment.

Hello, I think something wrong with the apple server during the download that you don't actually download the file completely. Last night here in Las Vegas CES, i tried to download both files on 192kHz and both playback okay. Freddie - 24/192 - 445.2MB (466,782,778 bytes) Lush Life - 24/192 - 300.4MB (314,968,740 bytes) Bitrate: 9216kbps We treat this as a sampler for people who never listen our music can try them free, but I agree with you that if this is a purchase copy, it should include the MD5 or similar kind of checksum to make sure people can download the bit transparent copy

Daniel Weiss and I will be in Venetian 31-123 / 31-125. We will have a system to demo various computer sources (Mac / PC / Lunix) playback high resolution files. Of course we will official release our new "Design w Sound" album. http://www.designwsound.com/dwsblog/?page_id=1008 I'm sure Daniel will introduce me to Chris and look forward to meet with everyone.
