| Logitech Touch vs Duet Another advantage not yet mentioned is that the Touch will decode 24/96 files. This is the reason I waited for the Touch to be released. I've only had it for a week but playing music from a USB thumb drive works fine. I don't have a USB hard drive... | |
| Gapless ripping and playback EAC supports ripping to a single flac or wav file with a supporting .cue file. The question is whether the Sonos server software will support this arrangement. I am just getting started with Squeezecenter and a Logitech Touch and it doesn't seem t... | |
| Mark Knopfler live recordings This would be great news even if the format is 320k mp3 but it looks like they can't be purchased from the U.S. I guess we're out of luck over here. | |
| FLAC encoding questions Chazz,EAC's claim to fame is it's ability to get information off of compromised CDs. Other than wavs, it is agnostic as far as formats are concerned. If I remember correctly (always a question at my age), I had to download and install lame before ... | |
| FLAC encoding questions Why make lossy flac files when you can just make mp3 files. Flac was designed to be lossless.You can't make lossy files with flac. The flac format is lossless. The difference between the "levels" in flac is how much time the program spends trying ... | |
| Logitech Squeezebox Touch DAC: How Good? Art,Thanks for this update. I've been waiting for someone to post on it. At this point I am planning to get a SB Touch sort of as a poor man's Transporter but am waiting to see what others' opinions are before jumping. I did want the 24/96 capabil... | |
| Getting Started I agree with the Peachtree comments above. Very nice for the money especially for computer-based audio. Don't forget about the Peachtree Decco. It has 50 wpc but, depending on the speakers you select, that might be enough and at about half the pri... | |
| Best Song Intro The song has been overplayed to the extreme but I love the intro to Hotel California on "Hell Freezes Over." | |
| Compressed vs. "Remastered" CDs I have a vague recollection of their being a web site that listed CDs that people thought were overly compressed. I tried a quick Google search but I'm at work and many of the sites are blocked. | |
| Building a Music Room I agree with Cmalak. If I had the money to build a dedicated or semi-dedicated music room, Rives would absolutely be my first stop. The Level One price is not bad when considered in the total price of building a new room. Of course it can get as e... | |
| how long can you leave a CDP on 'pause'? Wow - I think some people started Monday a little early. I don't think it's a dumb question at all. As has already been pointed out, some players will power down the transport and I suspect that other players may power down the laser after a brief... | |
| What is the best Software to Digitize LP's? Check out Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/. It's a really nice sound editor with click (and other noise) removal and it's FREE! Depending on your setup, it can also record from the line in on your sound card and then split and save the tr... | |
| Most Audiophiles by State Kurt,Been away for a few days and am just catching up so don't take my lack of a response as having "taken offense." Besides, most of us are used to the teasing by now and have fairly thick skins.Fire up the gear John - I'm on the next flight out.... | |
