    iTunes various formats to iPod Classic 160

    if you mange your music library by hand you should be able to sync individual genres/albums/artists in whatever original format they're in your iTunes library. my suggestion though: select "convert to 256KB" on the fly option and just load, i promise you won't hear a difference.

    Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player

    @JasonNYC -- thank you, but let me clarify specifically my question, i want to stream to the unit as a wireless DAC, can i use audirvana to do that? currently i can do that with my KANN and from SP1000M posts seems like people can do the same thing with that unit, will this one and other AK...

    @JasonNYC does sr25 have Dlna\upap streaming capabilities? I know the original kann and higher end sp1000m have that, but on the lower end what ak products have them?

    Official Ipod Video / Classic 5g+5.5g+6g+6.5g+7g SSD Mod thread

    welp, i just went on a 2 hour adventure of installing rockbox onto my iPod only to find out it's been a colossal waste of time -- none of my alac files play on it, everything crashed within 15 seconds. apparently some tags that i'm using are not compatible with rockbox, per a google trouble...

    Astell & Kern KANN - DAP with Massive Storage & Battery

    quick question here on SW update, the last few pages got really confusing and turned into somewhat of a crap show: - is there a SW update available for my KANN right now? - if yes, is the above bricking some units?

    Official Ipod Video / Classic 5g+5.5g+6g+6.5g+7g SSD Mod thread

    how do i sync less to my iPod, specifically i have songs that have lyrics, 500x500 album art etc. reading the suggestion on these forums, I'm hitting the 64mb database limit with around 39000 songs all in 256kb format, which doesn't even fill up the 400gb card that i have in there. is there...

    best headphone for Harman Target?

    n5005, they were made per the curve. if you want "close" search on google for harmann curve testing you can find some that are in the ballpark. laugh all you want, but the beatsx wireless are pretty close to the curve and i actually enjoy them a lot.

    Music Player Software for macOS Catalina

    Audirvana is the best solution :) that's why there is no further debate. I can't believe you actually use JRiver on a mac, they don't even support retina displays and it looks like something that would run on Windows 3.1 back in 96. Audirvana has an beautifil interface, is packed with...

    Music Player Software for macOS Catalina

    someone already mentioned audirvana above, why aren't you reading that? audirvana has everything you need, download the free trial and come back here if it's not working out for you after that to ask more questions.

    Explain: Why do Vinyl with a Digital/PC source?

    i'm not a vinyl collector so i don't know, but i don't think original vinyl pressing would offer the most neutral sound quality? i take back all my comments actually, i don't want to piss in anyone's cheerios and if somebody thinks that running a digital pressing of a vinyl is the most amazing...

    Explain: Why do Vinyl with a Digital/PC source?

    no worries, Sony solved it for the people, just get the WM1A and run everything through the Vinyl Processor setting: Vinyl Processor “recreates the warm, rich playback of a record on a turntable.” Once you go to the screen for this effect, you will see an image of turntable and a drop down box...

    MQA 3rd unfolding

    if you're building an "MQA system" from scratch i'd agree, seeking this stuff out is a waste of money -- but then again so is probably everything else in this hobby. but, if you already get tidal for whatever reason it's included, if you buy any modern dac it may already have MQA decoder built...

    Explain: Why do Vinyl with a Digital/PC source?

    then just run everything through tubes with some vintage speakers and you're 100% there without being a poser and hearing the creaking and popping. if you bought your turntable at urban outfitters and along the latest "record" of cold war kids and claim that you hear this phenomenal vinyl...

    Explain: Why do Vinyl with a Digital/PC source?

    anyone that buys a newly issued vinyl album that was recorded and mastered in digital to begin with: is a poser has no discerning knowledge about vinyl to begin with is a fool parted with their money any vinyl collector that's worth anything would only collect albums that were analog masters...

    MQA 3rd unfolding

    there is no 3rd unfold, the subject line of this thread is incorrect. there are only 2 possible unfolds, one comes from SW and one comes from the HW. for example, if you have neither SW or HW decoder you'll be playing a track at 24/44 or 24/48. with 1st unfold by SW (such as the tidal app...

    What Makes "Great Detail" in TOTL Headphones?

    hmm, the Harman Curve for headphones: these guys spent a lot of money testing hundreds of headphones on hundreds of people to find what was the most pleasing sound combination across as many people as possible, then they came up with the curve that represents that sound signature. any...

    welp, just re-downloaded the app and tested it myself, still an issue. says song available in 16/44, detects 24/96 dac and says it's playing in 16/44 but my dac output is showing that it's playing at 96KHz. switching immediately over to tidal the issue of up sampling goes away. wrote amazon...
