Not to knock shig but I have noticed he is super hyper sensitive to hiss in a player. Most people wouldn't notice the hiss he hears on most players but even him being hyper sensitive to hiss does not mind the hiss on the SFLO:2. Me personally I hear no actual player produced hiss on the it.
Also .wav support is really not needed and is a relic.
.wav files do not support ID tagging and are much bigger than .flac files even though both file types are completely lossless. You can simply take your .wav fiels and transcode them to .flac
I only listen to lossless audio but even I think .wav files are a huge waste of space and offer no advantage over .flac at all.
Yeah, I guess I'm just being a little lazy as I don't care for compressed files in any shape or form & all the music I put on my DAPs(I hate calling these things MP3 players because I wouldn't use it if that's all they would play) is from my CDs or Higher Rez music files! I tried using the flac encoder in the EAC rip program but I didn't care for bit rate reduction that was being applied so I decided to just bring the wav files over to my Flac Frontend program & encode the files using a level 5 setting which does'nt appear to be as aggressive in its bite rate reduction. Conservation of player storage space will always be a secodary consideration compared to any amount of playback resolution retrival & I do mean any. The best feature of any new DAP (to myself ) is the ability to physically remove music storage as desired . Now you truly have the ability to have as much of your music collection without regard to playback SQ compromises with you whenever you want. Well, time to stop "flac- in" around , I'm "flac-in outta here for now.
