| Best/easiest way to convert wma files? The Windows Audio Lossless to Wave Converter is free as well. It's mainly for converting wma to wav. It might have done it slightly faster since it doesn't have a GUI but any that gets the job done is all that counts. | |
| Comparison of latest DAC chips Depends on what filters they use or if they build their own out board filter, even R2R dacs use filters. You didn't like the Mola Mola Tambaqui at $11,000 ? That's the top dac tested by ASR. | |
| Do I really need a separate Roon Core (computer) to use Roon Software? Yes you need some sort of computer though it doesn't have to be hooked to your gear. | |
| Best/easiest way to convert wma files? If you’re comfortable using command line Windows Audio Lossless to Wave Converter will do it as a batch job. You can download it from Microsoft. | |
| Comparison of latest DAC chips I am sure it sounds fine at least as good as a Sony Hap S-1 but maybe note quite a Node2i. | |
| Comparison of latest DAC chips TotalDac measures so lousy you might as well say it's broke. | |
| Streamer v DAC - which is more important? I don’t think Bubble Upnp is on Apple. | |
| Higher End DACs In a home environment the " front end" component is your modem. It takes the analog signal and turns it into digital by MOdulate and DEModulate. In other words it’s basically a ADC incoming and DAC outgoing. So the signal sent to your router then ... | |
| Need a high end, quite, phase proper, passive X over! Did you try Madisound? Are you sure you want to give a kid who builds robots with saws a wooden speaker? | |
| Higher End DACs If the upstream signal quality is compromised you cannot somehow miraculously correct the shortcomings further downstream,??? But this is exactly what people are telling ufguy73 he can do with a $35000 streamer/dac. Digital streaming is a whole ne... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 Graphene coating on the Seas is to help prevent oxidation of the magnesium cone I don't think it improves the audio performance but the Seas graphene line also has a new driver. JA also tweaked the crossover. | |
| Higher End DACs Well in this case the source is the servers at Tidal or Qobuz and to add a little perspective I am not trying to sell anything if the OP ends up with a mega buck T+A or a NAD C658 as long as he is happy with the sound then it’s all good. | |
| Higher End DACs @ufguy73 There's absolutely nothing wrong with your McIntosh system, you must have enjoyed it for some time now not only do you have people suggesting $35,000 streaming dacs and $5000 reclockers but saying you need to sell off what you have and st... | |
| Why are Trolls not blocked We’re in the age of misinformation with a conspiracy theory behind every shrub. There is enough of that slop all over the internet no need to have it here as well with trolls posting links to these dubious sites. I’ve seen these trolls linking to ... | |
| Is Parasound on to something? Or, How important is crossover management in preamps? Having a high pass filter is useful when incorporating a subwoofer as it keeps the lower frequencies out of the small bookshelf speakers. It's actually useful even if you don't have a subwoofer as sometimes small speakers can get boomy or distort... |
