Re: General Discussion about Källa

Presumably interpreted from the video associated with this article - https://darko.audio/2023/10/apple-airplays-audiophile-easter-egg/ The much more interesting article is this one: https://darko.audio/2023/10/apple-airplay-isnt-always-lossless-sometimes-its-lossy/ All is good if Källa is a AirPlay...

AFAIK, Sagatun Stereo (SS) is superior to KK and SK is superior to SS.

Re: General Discussion about Källa

From another forum: "Video from Darko shows that if your app supports AirPlay 2 and the streamer or speaker you are sending your data to supports AirPlay 2 then that CD quality 16/44.1 lossless file you thought you were listening to is actually being compressed to AAC 256 lossy before it is sent….

Re: Spotify Stream On Event

Maybe an indirect sign that something is happening regarding lossless is that Spotify raised the minimum system requirements for MacOS desktop app from 10.13 to 10.15.

Without wanting to stir up a hornets nest I think an old thread should be closed one year after the last post or even earlier.

I don't understand how this new member's replies have engendered an exaggerated response. I apologize if I breached the forum rules with my comment about audiophile fuses. Some "audiophile" fuses are now priced north of 3k for one fuse and I dislike the hype about "audiophile" luxury products, not ...

We need to find the right balance, and avoid being exclusive. I agree, let us talking about finding the right balance.

Re: Is there a “best” test track?

If doing A/B comparisons, I’d rather use a song I’m not too familiar with otherwise it’s too easy to fill in the missing bits because you’re so familiar with the piece. I get your point but if you want to evaluate a system on an audio show for example you need one or more reference tracks for compa...

Re: Forum issues are discussed here

I think the more the forum settings are for prevention of troll attacks the less is the workload for moderators. Locking of old threads for newbies is directed to do prevention since the troll can not post there and then there is no need for the moderator to react. Further I see no issues for newbie...

Re: Forum issues are discussed here

I agree with tokenbrit, why not just ban the antagonist/troll? Do we really need to make it harder to post in old thread? Prevention is much better than to react after necroposting/spamming. So just to ban is not a such good idea since the troll most probably will leave anyway. And to unlock an old...

Harman International think so. https://www.soundstageaccess.com/index.php/feature-articles/1259-dr-sean-olive-on-35-years-of-fast-car IIRC, TC's first album was released in the same year as Linn's Ekos, so all Linn retailers did the Ekos/Ittok comparisons with this song, funny.

It seems we had in this thread another case of necroposting by a new account.

My suggestion would be that old threads get locked after a certain time and only existing members can unlock an old thread.

Audiophile fuses are pure madness, I "recommend" reading something like that:

Maybe better than using exotic fuses is direct soldering without fuse holder:
