    Recommended Software for ripping CDs to flac for newbies.

    Greetings Diving into the world of audio sure is complex, just learnt that Windows Media Player is not that good for ripping CDs to flac. There are quite a few software for ripping and these two seems more appealing to get the best accuracy out of my CDs, EAC and dBpoweramp. So which one is...

    Ultrasonic Frequencies in FLAC

    Hi all - I was running some of my FLAC files through Spek when, for extra kicks and giggles, I put through the quintessential 192/24 Norah Jones. Now, I'm very much out of my league as soon as I open the box of signal processing (Nyquist & Shannon, eat your hearts out), but I thought these two...

    Shortlist of robust and compact push button DAPs

    Hi everyone, I'm looking for a replacement for my iPod Nano 3rd gen. I'm on my 3rd, as I still like the small form factor and the push button clickwheel, though the audio quality and battery life isn't great (obviously it's ancient tech now). I'm moving over to FLACs and I require a player that...

    Bitrate stuff

    Hello! So I bought a Flac at qobuz.com and it came in 919kbps(checked the bitrate). So it says CD quality and I read usually that means higher than 1000kbps. Do you think it will make a difference? Or will it be the same as 1411kbos CD for example? Before you ask I am using the Audiotechnica M70x.
