Instead of downsampling that extreme why not downsample to 24/88.1 or 24/96 for all source files? That way you get better resolution and save space over the originals. You can also try using a higher compression ratio for FLAC to same space at the expense of battery life.

I have tr d FLAC 5 and 8, the space savings are negligible

your music collection if played continuously would run longer than 114 days (your poor battery)

I use dbPower Amp Music converter, which I regard as high quality sample rate converter, even from DSF to flac 24 but, the result is damn transparent

You guessed almost

For me doing a lot of travelling the convenience of having access to my entire music collection more than outweighs the minimal sq loss in going from hires to red book

Is Saturn still coming?

I agree, and I am the same here

a man of skill, integrity and morals? About as rare as a unicorn.

We had it compiled. However, due to the many feedbacks between people not able to distinct the differences between firmwares and negatives about mod firmwares. We have decided that we should stop at these releases as Saturn is just a little different between Mercury and Jupiter. It stays somewhere in between.

Thanks for the clarification. Looks like I’m sticking with Mercury.

Oh man, that’s a pity, I really admire your work and seriously appreciate it. Thank you so much for your dedication guys

Maybe consider to release Saturn as the hard work is done, then take stock and update the signatures again in 3-6 months?

We don't think Saturn is neccesary as there's just a niche market filled by Solis mostly.

It is true as The differences is very little “nuances” even with hardware modified Walkmans.

After listening to Solis for awhile on my 1A, I loved the incredible layering, soundstage and resolution. However, I am a little over sensitive to treble and even though Solis is fairly smooth I found after a while that my ears were slightly fatigued from what I suspect is some intensity at the lower treble area (which I think contributes to the grand space and wonderful detail retrieval). I'm on Universal region (I think), and am wondering if changing to J region firmware will help 'balance' out the signature for me. Any thoughts?

I went back to D.1.02 and missed the grandness and detail of Solis planning to try JupiterT3 today too and see if I can find some middle ground.
