How to rip several thousand CDs to FLAC?
It doesn't take long to rip individual CDs so maybe rip them as you want to listen. It depends on your setup, but I can easily rip on my Mac while listening to something else. My local hi fi shop has a machine that lets you load up stacks of CDs a...

The_Wizard - I am not sure of the connection between vinyl and high resolution files when it comes to hearing differences. 
The end of pono?
Zd542 - my point about the article is that maybe for the 99 it is correct when it says that there isn't any value in high resolution files. As an example, consider an expensive high performance tire designed to go on a Ferrari. There is no questio... 
The end of pono?
We are all part of the 99, the key to relocating to being a 1 is identifying the topic which is difficult when we all choose to believe that we are always a 1. Is it possible that for 9,999 out of 10,000 there isn't an audible difference with high...

I think receivers can make this conversion, but the results may vary. You can purchase converters as well, at least I think you can. Maybe something from monoprice or RadioShack. Is the goal a hifi system or the most cost efficient connection? You...

Jea48 - interesting quote. I thought it was interesting that they found a way to measure what they were hearing. I would guess that they used that measurement for future designs. What they heard could be measured

I wanted to follow up my previous post that was cut short to feed my kids. If there are physical attributes in audio equipment that cannot be measured but have a real impact on the sound, then the audio industry is effectively reduced from enginee...

One thing is for sure, if you can't measure it then you can't design it. This is interesting as most companies at least attempt to advertise using some scientific claims.

Scvan - the problem with your idea is that a lot of audiophiles believe that science isn't up to measuring audio equipment. As stated in the post just prior to mine, things can measure the same and sound different. I agree that it is impossible to... 
where to go from a hp mini 210 netbook
iTunes plus Apple Airport Express is a great entry point (likely the final destination for me) in combo with your DAC. The simplicity of controlling my MacBook Pro with a remote app on my iPhone to stream wirelessly through the Apple Airport Expre...

Scvan - I tend to agree with your line of thinking. I think my at people can identify a 0.5 dB volume difference which is a difference of about 5% or less. If volume differences are any indicator for what the human ear can discern, then how does t...
