Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Another interesting read - this time about speaker development.
pippin wrote: Yep. And especially... With a good active speaker design it's not just cables. If you do this right you don't need (and don't WANT) DACs, preamps, power amps, DSPs and all that other stuff that makes a hifi system today. Just speakers with a network connection and a display somewhere else to show what's playing. And that setup will actually beat everything you get in terms of high-end audio today at what's probably a few percent of the price. It will come, I'm not worried. First progress has been made, these days you don't really have to use a preamp and a power amp and there's also no passive crossover in modern speakers anymore. There are speakers that can run directly on RL encoded digital signals (actually, they have been around for 20 years or so so progress isn't always fast, indeed) so you don't need a DAC and so on. I'm not worried about the few audiophiles who believe in their collection of expensive signal-loss accumulators, let them do as they like and be happy with it, all others can experience superior audio at a lower price, that's fine. What worried me more was the convergence with devices for video because the requirements are so different and a lot of vendors thought that - since movies need sound as well - video equipment could do music, too. That has let development stall a lot. But what I really found interesting is that it seems to be possible, these days, to also get progress in getting correct phasing for your signal and I also wasn't aware that the brain actually can _better_ suppress multipath from omnidirectional speakers. I just asked that stupid question (assuming more multipath would make things more difficult, not easier) to a maker of such speaker a few weeks ago, you never stop learning. http://www.teenageengineering.com/products/od-11/ 'LastFM' (http://www.last.fm/user/ottovonkopp/) SB3, SB BOOM - Vortexbox@HP SFF iPod Touch\iPeng bernt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1342 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101784 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Re: Best way to convert FLAC to MP3
Kind of OT, but... I have a directory with both flac and mp3 files and I wanted to try out Firefly and Itunes for steaming over internet with Hamachi. Firefly only transcode flac to wav so I needed a mp3 only directory. With robocopy I did a mirror to an new directory but excluded all flac files. This way all the albumart was copied to the new directory. In Foobar2000 i created a new Library with all mp3 files excluded and then I converted the Library with Foobar2000 to mp3 pointing to the new directory. Foobar2000 did also add replaygain after converting from flac to mp3. Btw, Firefly\iTunes\Hamachi works very well. :-) /Bernt -- bernt http://www.last.fm/user/ottovonkopp/ bernt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1342 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30769 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
