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...

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.

Re: Superkikkin
I thought switching goes by remote?
Edit: OK, I have seen on Hexagon HP it is a manual switch.

Re: Forum issues are discussed here
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. If there are really new aspects to an old topic it is better to start a new thread with a new subject. That doesn't mean that the valuable information in these old threads i...

Re: Forum issues are discussed here
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 ...

Re: Forum issues are discussed here
What if the first, or first few posts by a new member had to be approved by a moderator before going live on the forum? It'll of course be clearly communicated to everyone signing up for a new account how it's working. That alone should hopefully stop most people with bad intentions from even tryin...

Re: Forum issues are discussed here
We need to find the right balance, and avoid being exclusive. I agree, let us talking about finding the right balance. As a member here I was absolutely displeased to get attacked with "argumentum ad hominem" by a troll or spammer after I told him something about what we think here about musicality...

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...

Re: Is there a “best” test track?
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. But it was never on ...

1) What do you think would be an appropriate period of inactivity before a post is locked? 2) At what point (age of account, post count) should a user be allowed to access locked posts? 3) Do you think this is a good idea? If not, do you have any other ideas/suggestions? 1) Three months before the ...

Re: Forum issues are discussed here
My concern is that redundant threads could clutter and confuse things, but the post volume on this forum is low enough that may not be an issue. -Moderator What might be helpful to reduce the post volume is that you enable only quoting the last post and not the composite post of several posts befor...

Re: HiFi fuses
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.

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

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