    FLAC vs. 320 Mp3

    I've downloaded the different versions from the same online digital music distribution website and the reason as to why the results could be different is due to the high variability of the following variables: the Computer Motherboard used, the Computer Motherboard BIOS version, the Computer...

    FLAC vs. 320 Mp3

    Its done initially blind then subsequently sighted. I have taken onboard that expectation bias can occur so I asked my Brother who does audio and video editing work for a second opinion and he was in the room with me during the initial blind and subsequent sighted comparison session as well and...

    FLAC vs. 320 Mp3

    On the topic of 320 FLAC vs 320 MP3 I've realised after A/B'ing So Say We All (Battlestar Galactica Live) Album in 320 FLAC and 320 MP3 format; that to me 320 FLAC sounded slightly less compressed, slightly more detailed and slightly brighter than 320 MP3 however 320 MP3 sounded slightly warmer...

    FLAC vs. 320 Mp3

    I agree as there isn't a proper universal Industry standard for benchmarking linear distortion in the world of Headphones. However in the world of Speakers and Amplifiers that's a whole different kettle of fish.

    FLAC vs. 320 Mp3

    However on the other hand in the world of Power Amplifiers (A dying amplifier category that is rapidly being replaced with Integrated Amplifiers) for example an Epicure M1 Power Amp from 1975 has a low THD of 0.2% @ 20 Hz to 20 kHz for a RRP of $649.00 while a NAD C 268 Power Amp from 2020 has a...

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    That is so true I've tried a few with poorly tuned drivers but so far SoundPEATS never disappointed me in the past and hopefully in the future as well since so far their TWS driver implementation and tuning is spot on and the sound quality is amazing for the price they charge for TWS along with...

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    Anyone looking for a TWS for under $50 I would recommend the SoundPEATS Truengine SE for $41.39 (10% discount on Amazon) as I've received mine on 30th of January 2020 and have used it extensively. The QCC3020 chip is amazing as the Bluetooth connection is strong and stable along with making AptX...

    The Shure KSE1200 w/ amp and KSE1500 DAC combo that cost $3000 USD

    What do you guys think of the "Shure KSE1200 earphones are audiophile grade electrostatic earbuds that come with a matched amp.. but no DAC or equalizer- for that you need the KSE1500 for an extra $1,000?" that Linus Tech Tips reviewed recently and is it worth the price tag where both the amp...
