320kbps Vs. ALAC
No amount of backtracking, rationalizations and personal projection of your needs and habits onto others will now recover your lost credibility.- Mauricio

Line out dock vs. headphone out
Because line-out: i.) gives you a signal (more or less) untouched by the device's internal amp and volume control mechanism; ii.) has an output impedance well matched to the input impedance of line-in on devices that accept line-level inputs; iii.) provides a standard peak voltage of no...- Mauricio

Please, someone take this clown out of his misery and explain to him the advantages of RAW.- Mauricio

FLAC on IPOD
Quote: Same here. Apple iPod Classic Classic 160GB with nothing but ALAC. Great battery life and never any skipping or stuttering on music playback. And no, JPEG is still not the equal of RAW or TIFF.- Mauricio

Line out dock vs. headphone out
The benefits of line-out over head-phone out usually boil down to i.) better impedance matching and ii.) better amplification by an outboard amplifier as opposed to the stock intergrated circuit chip amp in the device. It has nothing to do with "double-amping".- Mauricio

320kbps Vs. ALAC
Rather than concentrating on semantics, you should focus on the core of the rebuttal to your pseudo-argument. Photojournalists and all other photographers who need to submit their shots immediately shoot JPEG out of necessity, not because JPEG is good enough. It ain't.- Mauricio

320kbps Vs. ALAC
The reason why photojournalists, including sports photographers, is that i.) they need to get the shots to the editor asap so they have no time for RAW conversion, and ii.) because the resolution of a good JPEG far exceed the resolution of newspaper photographs. The Ken Rockwell and sports...- Mauricio

O2 vs TOTL
Quote: Yet another of the absurd straw-men that are attributed to the so-called "objectivists". You should see it as a not very cleverly articulated and veiled and ultimately failed way of undermining the "objectivists" claims. You will recall that Guttenberg is one and the same with...- Mauricio

Active Speakers/Monitors: Dispelling the ignorance, confusion and myths
The term "nearfield" has a technical definition of sorts. It is the distance from the speaker/monitor beyond which reflections exceed the direct sound from the speaker/monitor. As you can see from the definition, the radius of the "nearfield" is largely a function of the listening room. Keep...- Mauricio

Active Speakers/Monitors: Dispelling the ignorance, confusion and myths

Atom Netbook as music jukebox
Thinking of buying one of those $300 Atom processor netbooks to hold and stream FLAC from MusicBee out to a DAC. Do they have enough processing power? Any other concerns?- Mauricio
