| Wav to Flac using Dbpoweramp Thank you for the excellent responses! I do have the full version of dbpoweramp. Zd542 you are exactly right in what I am seeing. The file in which my music is stored and the way windows media player contains the info is very different and it does... | |
| Suggestions on a neutral and powerful integrated.. I would second the Gamut Di150 recommendation. A tremendous amp with lots of power. I wish I had kept mine for a second system. | |
| The Best Compliment You've Gotten On Your Rig? Many people make no comment which I interpret as them wondering how much money I wasted on this junk. One friend looked at the speakers and gasped and said "They are huge!". Then she proceeded to draw parallels with the connection between large ca... | |
| where to go beyond Esoteric x05 I see the Esoteric K03 and K01 as superb DACs first, which just happen to have a great quality transports built in. When you use them as a pure DAC they act as a pure DAC and sound fantastic. I think this has been said before, and I agree with it ... | |
| Last Chance Texaco. Front row last night. That is a nice coincidence. Last night I had a long listening session with some friends which included Madeleine, and for the last song of the evening we chose Ricky's 'Last Chance Texaco' and played it pretty loud. Was truly awesome. Thanks for y... | |
| Smartphone for the audiophile? Richard, I have no intention of using a smart phone as a source in my main rig for any form of serious listening, but would possibly use an app to control other devices. Can you get digital output to work with your rig from your droid phone? I tho... | |
| Speakers and air-conditioning I have had the same thoughts about air temperature and humidity, both on the instant effect on the sound and also on the long term health of the speakers. I make sure that there are no direct drafts of conditioned air flow directly at the speakers... | |
| Nordost Heimdall XLR interconnect break-in time From what remember, I think most of the change was had after about 300hrs. I cant be sure there was much change after that. I do remember the process was slower than on Nordost speaker cables. Expect a smoother more detailed but less edgy 3 dimens... | |
| Rethinking my system: Your ideas are appreciated If you like the dynaudio sound, and from what I have heard of them they are great speakers, consider moving up their range to suit your room size. To get a full sound, big rooms need big speakers and powerful amps. You will need a new amp. I dont ... | |
| A dilemma: Modern sound, Musical Bliss or both? I went down the path of wanting rich warm 'musical' speakers rather than revealing transparent detailed type. In the end it always feel like something is lacking, but on the positive side, they will tolerate a wide range of recordings without fati... | |
| French Speakers? Chrisr, I dont think you are up to speed here. Focal has whole new ranges of speakers since then that are highly engineered in collaboration with research institutions in Europe.Whether you like their current sound is a different question but I wo... | |
| Help the 'PC Audio' bewildered.... Can you only control with an ipad or iphone? Are there apps for other phones? | |
| Help the 'PC Audio' bewildered.... How do you control them remotely? | |
| File format, software and settings? Thanks Tom, it did help | |
| File format, software and settings? I ripped my second and third CDs and it now takes about 4 mins. It did not come up with the accurate rip window. Does this sound about the right amount of time? Went back and ripped the first one again and it was also fast. How do I check it is us... |
