A good idea is to try to source some material that is fully 24/192 or
some such to begin with .
A modern as good as it gets digital recording .
A do think headphones are very good at this especially closed ones SN
ratio and distortion is very low .
Speakers distort a lot and the room interacti

One will certainly pick up a lot of details on headphones, but I think
you lose some other kinds of audible detail because of the way
headphones interact (or don't) with the pinna.

That's an interesting common sentiment I hear especially
Thanks for the tip Wombat.
It appears that there's more of an issue with "Morning Phase" than I
originally thought beyond DR6!

Well, I don't own TP. But whenever my Touch should go up in smoke I will
definetely have a closer look at the Raumfeld stuff. Their Connector 2
seems to be everything the Touch ever promised to be when it came out,
except for the touch display. Some of the major features are: no server

What a fine read! Inspirational line: " I would gladly listen to an MP3
192kbps of a well recorded/mastered album than a poor DSD128 or 24/192."

There has been quite a lot of scientific studies and tests. Bit depth
only affects dynamic range/SNR, and 16 bits already give more than any
source material needs
Hi, why are a few people saying they cannot play FLAC tracks on their
Mac Mini, SqueezePlay via iPeng-7 works fine for me plus JRiver Media
Centre for the Mac plays FLAC tracks, finally you can just load LMS
directly onto the Mac Mini and it will also play FLAC using iPhone or
iPad to control it.
