Okay so we now have a rapidly growing thread (35 posts and counting) all based on post which links to a one of the worst audiophile sites on the internet. The Computer Audiophile is all about sucking up the manufacturers and then hopefully getting some free equipment or perhaps a free trip to some audio show. Try reading through some of the nonsense and misinformation posted on that site and you'll see what I mean. First and foremost of the Computer Audiophile's sins is a rabid fascination with all things Apple. The Apple/iTunes audio platform is seriously flawed with respect to the playback of high quality audio and yet the Computer Audiophile along with all the high end magazines will never say that the emperor has no clothes. There are many, many other sins but just this one is enough ensure that the Computer Audiophile can be safely ignored. That said this is still a very interesting discussion but I fear that all the useful information posted is falling upon the ears of the converted and is not being heard by the vast majority of audiophiles stuck in the land of myths. So how do we get this information into their hands? And finally why stop at 24/384? How about 96bit/6144Khz? Yes, onward and upward to perfect resolution!!! -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 (oops) -> Touch 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89733 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
