New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house

Regarding AIFF vs WAV, some folks hear a difference and some don't: http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f8-general-forum/wav-vs-aiff-3239/

It may depend partly on software and relevant settings....

Agear, that was going to be my question as to the dependency on which player is being used and whether a difference is heard between AIFF and WAV.
I think I am in a minority here with my impressions from last summer and choosing Pure Music as the player I found to sound more musical and display more body, if perhaps a slightly "softer" focus. I wonder if there is a time limit before one can try another free trial of A+ and/or Amara after already trying the trial version once? I would like to get a few more things tweeked and then try them again.
Bill, your thoughts on WAV have me curious enough that I plan to take three CDs I am familiar with, rip them in WAV and then compare directly with the same CDs that I already have ripped in AIFF, maybe not today though.
Steve, I was encouraged to hear that improvements can be had by installing the $4K or $6K Plasmatron. I will add that to my to-do list! Oh well, pushing the envelope is a good thing, even if that particular improvement is well outside of my current envelope.

Agear - there are two things that can affect this:

1)if they are using a network streamer, some of these sound identical or very close between FLAC and wav

2) their systems may not be up to the level required to hear the difference

Everyones system is at a different level, so one must take all of these posts with a grain of salt.

Steve I was going to say the same thing. The wav and aiff differences are real and some folks can't hear it or their systems don't reveal it. I posted on CA and received lots of help on how to convert to WAV. Some folks could only ask why as they hear no difference. Well some folks don't hear the difference between cables etc....but they are still there and real.

All I can say is just try it. If you don't like it better, then don't do it. I do and am converting as I type!

AIFF files converted to WAV don't sound quite as good a ripping in xld to WAV from the start. Oh my, I can't re-rip all my CDs , but will have to settle for the WAV conversion.
