| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @deep_333 where some dudes are telling him that there is no musical information below 30hz (facepalm) and a sub getting down to 10hz is meaningless... The organ in the Sydney Town Hall has a 64-foot pipe which can be felt if not heard at abou... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @devinplombier this blog post by Benjamin Zwickel - the founder and designer of respected DAC manufacturer Mojo Audio - who is considerably more qualified than I to dissert on the subject I ploughed through the article and quickly guessed tha... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @mapman So the network needs to have sufficient bandwidth for the job. That’s pretty much a given with modern home network technology If you are streaming over the internet, you should also include the myriad of servers, routers and connecti... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @devinplombier A person relies extensively on cut-and-pasting at the risk of appearing lazy and unintelligent. ... we all have access to google AI and we would know how to query it if we felt like it. Doing it on our behalf adds no value and m... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @devinplombier together with all the AI-generated nonsense @richardbrand has been cut-and-pasting in this thread Google AI has access to all the nonsense on the web, including yours, but it is intelligent at processing the entire content. If... | |
| Unusual countries for audio gear @foggyus91 Not relevant here, but rather surprisingly, Australia does export snow-making machines to Switzerland. Climate change is making snowfall less reliable in both countries. On the Supercars, they started as genuine production cars you ... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes So I asked Google AI "how does TCP/IP correct for packet loss and corruption"? UDP/IP does none of these things. I have added italics: TCP/IP uses mechanisms like checksums, sequence numbers, and retransmission to ensure reliable data delivery,... | |
| Unusual countries for audio gear @foggyus91 Thanks for the compliment about my adopted country, which by and large is hot! One of the themes here is that cold climates might induce more thoughtful designs. I found out through this forum that the coveted Dohmann turntables are... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @cleeds Qobuz is correct - analog audio is just a series of sine waves (and cosines). Qobuz would be correct if that is what they said, but it ain't. My quote was precisely copied from their website "An analog audio signal is composed of a ... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @cleeds It does if it's TCP/IP because any faulty packet is simply re-sent. That re-send isn't possible with UDP/IP, though, so an error is possible. The audibilty of that error is debatable, of course, and probably depends on the extent of the... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes So I asked the web about "ethernet packet delivery guarantee" and Google's AI overview came back with: Ethernet, at its core, is a best-effort delivery protocol, meaning it does not guarantee that every packet will be delivered or that they will... | |
| Unusual countries for audio gear @foggyus91 I was pointing out that a lot of very good stuff does come from China, or is owned by Chinese interests. One advantage of being in Australia is that we are almost equally far from everybody else, except New Zealand. Everybody wants ... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @chrisoshea My advice to all on this thread…. Buy a Rega Planar 3, a Schiit Mani 2 phono stage and some records I would say get a universal disk transport with HDMI outputs, and some SACDs, Blu-ray audio disks, 4K opera recordings and CDs. ... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @devinplombier Audio streaming presents a very, very light load in Ethernet terms, and error-free transmission is a given It is not a given, not by Ethernet. Ethernet on its own does not guarantee packet delivery, nor timing, nor error-free ... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @sns So on top of Qobuz using TCP/IP protocol I know Qobuz claims to use TCP/IP but to many people, and it seems to many here, the internet is synonymous with TCP/IP. TCP is only part of the internet. I have tried to show that UDP/IP is equa... |
