I converted 30,000 of my FLAC files to Ogg Vorbis.  Ogg sounds wonderful.It is a lossy format, but take a listen.  I prefer the sound of Ogg level 6 to MP3 320 and , Ogg seems to be smaller than MP3.  Now I can have 11,000 tunes on my Fiio X3 with a 64gb card!  Any more love out there?

I have been listening to audio in 192, 176, 88, 48 and 44.1khz.  At first I thought that I could here much more clarity and detail in the higher sample rates.  Then I down sampled some 192 and 96khz audio to 48khz.  I could here no difference in quality.  I use a mac mini and sometimes a Fiio X3...

I'm new to these forums and wanted to share my pleasant experience with the Swinsian audio player and organizer.  I have a 2.5 TB audio library and have had problems with iTunes lag and crashing.  Furthermore, The fact that iTunes tends to color the sound and will not change the sample rate.   ...
