Actually that particular Stereophile article is a direct result of a recent thread on the Stereophile forum. (http://forum.stereophile.com/forum/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=35494&page=0&fpart=all&vc=1) Note: I'm "jazzfan" on the Stereophile forum)
If you take the time to read/scan through the thread you'll see that JA takes all these things very seriously and does respond to forum posts. As for the lack of comparison testing I can only guess that since JA and Stereophile take the position that files made with lossy compression are do not offer true high end sound quality, then why bother to run all those tests. And while I completely agree that in this day and age of cheap storage there is no reason to use a lossy codec, it would still be nice to know which lossy codec to use in the event that one has a need for it (think iPod). -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44532 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
