Sorry but I’m not able to follow your mode of speech in your email .

I just priced an iPad Pro 128GB version with Wi-Fi - no facility for cellular 
data - and in Australian dollars its available for $1400 so probably halve that 
nearly for the U.S. market.

Only me but as things go I think I’d be looking along the iPad Pro line before 
the Surface Pro and price would be the main factor though I’ve not seen 
anything around to absolutely recommend the Surface for its audio quality but 
there’s probably someone on the list who can put us all in the know.

To be fair I can’t compare the Mini 4 with any other of the devices you’ve 
mentioned though I’m prepared to bet that you’re probably right on the ball, 
the Mini 4 isn’t special but its a damn sight better than the iPad III was when 
I heard that thing over 2 years ago.

I don’t have an Android Tablet right at the moment, I had a Nexus 6 I think it 
was and that sounded reasonable but nothing compared to the Mini 4.

If you want to go all the way wit tables then perhaps the iPad Pro might be the 
thing to listen to with 4 speakers?

iPad Mini 4 Audio: First Impressions

2015-11-26 Thread Dane Trethowan
Speakers in this thing sound very good indeed!

The last iPad unit I owned was an iPad III over 2 years ago and I absolutely 
hated the audio of the speaker in that thing so its pleasantly surprising to me 
that a smaller unit gives a far superior sound, the iPad 4 Mini has to be heard 
to be believed.

The iPad Mini 4 tablet could easily fill a small room with very reasonable 
quality type sound, its not a Hi-Fi system I grant you but just a small tablet 
with incredible sound.

The files are music (we usually don't have as much trouble with files not

is...often someone would have a file that wouldn't play (with the older
version of the chat client) raising the bit rate usually would allow it then
to play!

Hi.  What contents do the files have?  Is it music, or spoken word?  If it

the player has a minimum bit rate at which it will decrypt the files,

9 HD Starts Transmission This Morning

2015-11-26 Thread Dane Trethowan
News for those in Australia.

Nine HD on Digital TV Channel 90 officially starts transmission this morning at 
5 AM Easter Summer Australian Time.

In order to receive the new HD channel you may need to rescan your TV Set, 
Digital Set Top Box or Digital PVR for channels.

Further to this the equipment must be compatible with the new MP4 video 
encoding that is used.

To celebrate the launch of Nine HD viewers will be able to watch the Third 
Cricket Test Australia V New Zealand live in HD.

There’s a bit more to HD TV than just sound.  If you have a Surround-Sound 
system connected to your TV then you can really enjoy the effects as they come 
from the ground, even hear where the ball is depending on how well the audio is 
produced and Nine usually do a pretty good job.

RE: re switch

Hi.  strictly speaking no, not in the file itself.  A 128kbs quality file
will always be a 128kbs quality file.  You can downgrade from 128kbs but if
you do that, you will never get a 128kbs quality again for that file.
However what you can do is improve the quality of the reproduction in
playback.  If you play your music on the PC via a hi-fi system, you can
dramatically improve the quality of the sound by using a DAC but they can be
expensive, depending on just how much you are willing to pay for better
quality.  I always play my music from the PC through a DAC as it makes a
huge difference.  Walter.

re free switch

2015-11-26 Thread brian parker
hi tom, i have been using the free switch successfully for months. 
today however, when i went to encoder options, and enter it, instead 
of finding the usual menus including the place to choose what rate i 
wanted, i got  an offering of five choices, and no mention of rate 
values. i couldn't go any further as i was informed, that my switch 
wasn't  configured for any of the five, and was asked if i wanted to 
by the upgrade which i needed to go further. i don't know what has 
happened, as i used switch alright early this morning. i can't think 
what has happened. brian.

Okay...then I must have gotten incorrect information; it may be "mind over
matter" but it seems like files work better and sound better in the VIP
Client if they are at a higher bit rate!  I figured it did increase the
quality of sound; maybe my ear is just telling me the wrong things?

How is this easiest achieved without paying for the converter software?
