The 1s and 0s are your "sonic information" - the sound data.


No, audio data can be bit perfect and have timing errors. Therefore it is bit perfect and the sound has changed.

Hi-

JRiver does crash for me - I'd say about once or twice a week, for no apparent reason. Works fine when I restart it. From what I remember some other members here have similar experiences...

My 2 cents: On a standard computer not setup for audio, JPlay improved the sound. Clearly shutting down the massive amount of processes going helped - the background was quieter and cleaner, and...

Have tried both. Both significantly reduce SQ, IME. Replay gain and a variant, album gain, seem like they would work better than simple normalization, but in my tests they leave music sounding a bit...

Actually most people can't, until they listen on decent equipment and the difference is pointed out to them (what to listen for to hear differences). Then they can.

That's why you have all these...

the only problem is that I find that each new "invention" does give a smoother, more comfortable shave, with fewer cuts.

Howvever the ever increasing price of the blades is also a factor. So...

you need to use ASIO, and set bitstreaming to DSD - only DSD, not DoP. Uncheck DoP for DSD 128 playback

I use WD Green drives as external drives. They aren't fast, but are fine as data/music server drives. Plus they are quiet as far as non SSD drives go. I don't see any need for fast drives for these...

Chrome works by way of Google Translate, but you are right the buttons are graphics and don't translate. But when you put your cursor on the buttons, you can see the URL of the link, and this mostly...

The DAC looks really interesting with all the attention being played to clean power - choke, regulators, etc and the propreitary filters are also really intriguing. On paper (err, pdf, it seems like...

Barrows-

I don't know how applicable my experience is to yours, as I use windows and not Linux. JRiver is great for DSD and even has a tagger that lets you tag dsf files. I playback over...

Already another thread on this, maybe transfer your post to that one

Anyone know of an easy way to check zero padding in Windows?

My personal experience with them is I get a much faster response if I use the order number of the album I bought in the subject line and am polite. That doesn't mean I'll always get the response I...

I buy a lot of hi-res from HDT. But their "testing" is clearly lacking. We still get regular reports of 24/96 being released as 16/96, 24/88 or 24/48 or something else. I find it impossible to...

10% off with code: hd10off, good for this and a select few new releases, through June 17th

Anyone heard it? SQ? Volume Compressed?

Thanks

The criticism here is a little unfair. Anthony Michelson has talked in the past how as much of 70% of the retail price of high end audio is in the cosmetics (cosmetics sell). This includes his high...

agentsmith-

thanks, that was clear. Have it working now.

Okay, sorry guys I'm being dense, but I don't understand.

I went to the download page,downloaded and installed the files in Foobar.

What am I supposed to do now? How should the output in...

Output is a FLAC file? I don't understand, so how is this DSD. In the DoP standard the DSD file is not converted, merely placed in a PCM "shell" which allows it to be sent as if it were a PCM file,...

the Touch is supposed to use a built in SOX resamlper in LMS software to automatically downsample 176 to 88k and 192 to 96 for playback. Do you have SOX turned off? You may if you changed the...

Maybe it is simply the number of licenses they bought for those downloads was used up an they didn't/haven't bought more?

No need. Just don't take a second job as an audio designer and consultant.

Not slinging, but I'm not talking religion. You simply are wrong on the facts, too bad for all your qualifications you don't understand how digital audio works. It's actually you who sound like you...

I generally do a lot of research, but where I live I often can't audition products I'm interested in. So I try to find products that people I trust like, and that seem to be a good value for the...
