Does any1 know how to use the volume keys to increase volume by 1 step each time? Increasing 5steps a time is very inconvenient
And the default player does not support cue
am i forced to buy the neutron player?? As i read that power amp alpha does not output more than 48khz
You CAN change the steps (volume levels) using some players, such as PowerAmp Alpha build.
In PA alpha, go to: Settings>Audio>AdvancedTweaks>VolumeLevels(Experimental)
Here you will get a panel with selections for SystemDefault, 30, 50, 76,100. Even the 50/76 selection will get you in the 1 to 2 step range with each push of the VOL up or down. I leave it at 76, as the levels are accurate enough to get the exact dBs i want without many multiple pushes.
Also, if you enable the VolumePanel selection, the poweramp volume pot will display using the devices volume up/down keys. You can hold down the up/down buttons to get the pot where you want it.
I agree with others' posts as to the above 48kHz sampling rate. Not sure that many would/could notice it without the highest possible recording quality, player, etc.
i have 96kHz sampling on my studio setup with high-end monitors in a controlled room--the actual recording, mastering, compression, etc is much more noticable than higher sampling rates. Now it doesn't hurt to CAPTURE a recording in its highest possible resolutions, even knowing that noone will ever HEAR the difference in the final consumer output. Just as shooting photos with the most Megapixels doesnt hurt, but the sharpness of the lens optics, etc are generally more important to the output...
Will mention that PowerAmp Alpha did/does have an Experimental Hi-res output that could be enabled for some devices, i used it for the Note7 and it did sound better, but mostly because the Note7's regular sound output is nowhere near the quality of the V20's.
In audio, every link in the chain is important to getting the highest SQ output, as well as the careful MATCHING of components that work well together.
