I respectfully disagree. Just because the forum is labeled "audiophile" doesn't mean that random, sloppy subjective opinions get to be thrown around without challenge. audiophile does not equal anything goes. The content is not just used by the people posting. I'd want others who stumble upon the discussion in the future with a google search to not be left with the idea that some of the mumbo jumbo espoused is actually correct. There are some (not many, sadly) forums that are audiophile forums but yet recognize science and engineering. I'd even argue that hydrogenaudio is such a forum (audiophile), but with high standards for evidence. Heck, I even think of my self as an audiophile in the old fashioned sense of the world (lover of audio, both the content and the means of reproduction). Sadly the term has been taken over by those who are better termed "audiophools". *Home:* VortexBox 4TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win8(64) > LMS 7.9 > Squeezelite *Spares:* Transporter, Touch(3), Radio(3), Boom, SB3, CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng8 & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win7(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpoweramp > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106575 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
