If all recordings are so commercial and compromised , why even use high end equipment? In fact the transporter with it's superior dac is overkill....... You may think all is perfect but then the same was said when CD's came out , perfect sound forever....wasn't the case. I have many many recordings which sound wonderful and I would never advocate converting them to some lossy format. There are many artists and recording engineers who still value good sonics.
I converted a lot of stuff to 320 mp3 using lame and EAC for my car and I can plainly hear the difference tween em and the original cd , especally in the bass, however I'm prepared to compromise for the sake of convenience in my car. As to converting to any other format than native , I still maintain its a bandaid to cover present day shortfalls in both storage and bandwidth, at some stage both of these wont be issues and there will be no reason to do so. Even the SB and transportersm are to some extent bandaids , once solid state storage has reached a critical mass in terms of capacity and cost , things will once again change. -- Rodney_Gold Sb3/Z-sys RDP1/meridian DSP5500's TP/X-cans v3/Senns 650's TP/TACT 2.0/SCM 50a's TP/Meridian DSP5000's "The nicest thing about smacking your head against the wall is...the feeling you get when you stop" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rodney_Gold's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14618 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44532 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
