Anyone know if windows or foobar can automatically convert 32(float? whatever that means) to 24 bit for audio files? I don't have a 32 bit dac but windows will convert it to 24 anyways right?

Gonna do that now.

Foobar works in mysterious ways. Much of it in command line. I've read that Foobar can even batch convert FLACs to ALAC using some iPod Manager stuff because the iPod Classic can only play 16-bit FLACs I think, but I still can't manage to get ALAC to work.

windows / your player should convert it automatically to whatever your system setting is because no physical DAC can actually decode float, it's only used in music production.
 
btw, 32-bit float means {24-bit number} to the power of {8-bit number} so that's 32-bits total.

finished Kenichi: The Strongest Disciple in 5 days.
To be fair, the end felt really rushed and underdeveloped. I thought it was really weak. I miss the time when it was more about school fights and stuff and less about massive world war stuff. I don't know. I did enjoy it tho, the fights were pretty fun and the art was pretty cool. Did enjoy the blatant fan service i guess

Done. 
 

Spoiler: iCloud backup for macOS is nice. Now I can rely less on Time Machine.

 
The transition animation for Mission Control is slower but smoother now. The Notification area looks like iOS 10's. I have yet to get Universal Clipboard to work.

Might not mean much to most people, but a God just appeared amongst mankind.

This is truly a miracle, a sign for those blesses by His digital image filters to art more better! Anything related to art and design will never be the same again!!!

If we're going by IEEE 754 float single precision then technically it's 1 sign bit, 8 bits for exponent and 23 for the mantissa which you could say 24 where it's just the implicit 1 for normalized and denormalized for the implicit 0.

Spoiler: Could those contacts be aluminum-plated?

 

 
 
Looks like there's a 338S00140 in there, it wasn't used anywhere in other phones so we don't know what it is/does because it's their own part number.
 
It still works just fine, if I'm really bored I may look for the inputs to see if it is receiving an analog line out from the phone or whether that IC is handling it. At least we know for sure it's not a dumb dongle that just passes the analog out, as confirmed by my previous distortion measurements. It's either doing DAC+amp work or just amp...we'll see.
 
It's all potted and tiny, gonna be pretty fiddly to probe, I might not be able to do it as I've used up all of my loli high dexterity power just tearing it apart without breaking it. 

That is one highly miniaturized and solid looking dongle.

Can't complain for 12 buckeroos. It won't be aluminium because its oxide is non conductive, it's either tin or nickel, which is standard for 'cheap' contacts in electronics.
 
I still haven't seen any good distortion measurements yet, it does bother me that our results are still largely unconfirmed/uncontested.
 
I kinda need an audio interface to enter the 21st century for audio measurements, but it pains me too much to drop a few hundred dollars on what is $30 worth of ADCs and op amps. Hmmm might have to design and build my own...

I was going to ask: "For the Enloop charger, the LED is green. Does that mean it's done charging, or is it charging and the light goes out when it's done?"

But I found my answers on the Amazon reviews. lol
Why the fk would you make the charge lights green if it's being charged? A blinking LED, or a different color would be much more intuitive....

I've used AIMP for a long time (earlier this year they updated the UI so now it's fantastic) and it converts any bit format into the desired output like so.

But looks like it does not have a way to follow input sampling rate, which basically means not bit-perfect poi :/
