According to Rupert Brun, Head of Technology for BBC Radio, the rate used for the 4.0 streaming frm the South Bank was 48kHz. What I dont like is that one can record the stream at 44.1kHz and the sample rate conversion appears to be dont in Windows. Is there a means of actually showing the sa

[Sursound] HTML5 and sursound.

I have a question about putting surround on the Internet. Apart from needing the right browser to hear anything, if one uses WAV files, no problem (apparently); but if one is using FLAC or OGG it seems to me that there are potential level and phase problems unless the channels are all compress

Pace Paul, by the time it got to the third movement of the Dvorak, I was quite impressed. The Festival Hall is not over-endowed with ambiance, but when I turned the back up a bit, what I heard was akin to what I often hear in a concert hall when not too close to the stage, as opposed to when I
