I keep thinking of file sources for the Hugo 2 and Mojo, and need advice please.
One idea for a desktop is the Novafidelity X14, which has up to 8TB hard drive storage. This type of idea fits so many of needs on my list of wants. Like it has masses of storage, and it does internet radio and you can record that. Internet radio will give me better radio than my DAB/FM tuner. (Although FM may be better.) Not that I listen to radio much. ..... My question about this type of gadget is in the file support. The Richer Sounds website states: "For the highest quality sound, 24 bit/192kHz Hi-Res music files in WAV and FLAC formats are supported."... However, even though I would be using the device as file source, radio source etc. Does it mean that is could not process higher bit rate and higher sample rate music. I understand that it can not process music at a higher rate than that itself. *Unless it probably down samples the music.)
Could it feed out higher resolution music to the Hugo 2?
I understand the best idea might be to contact the manufacturer, but I figured someone here may have a clue.
Secondly I keep thinking about the Amazon Fire HD tablet for a portable 'about the home' file source. It is likely to play FLAC files as the Amazon Music app does. Although I would be looking to buy USB Audio Player Pro. That's much my question, in that would I be able to buy and run UAPP on it. It uses a version of Android I think. ... Again the question of file resolution. Can you run files of higher resolution, than the tablet can play, out of the USB to a DAC?
By the way, I just came across a jazz album that took me by surprise. It's mostly covers, but she does some original work of her own. I am right now only on track seven of eleven, but totally convinced. (I never really got into jazz any more than Norah Jones' forays, and Lake Street Dive.)
