Really when you look at it, wanting a specific audio file format seems normal with this style of thinking. Timing issues and digital noise issues are at the heart of what people think they hear better.when purchasing a different DAC. So folks with different USB cables, small jitter reducing USB purification-filters and such are a big part of our industry with millions spent every year. There is an entire sub audiophile industry based on reducing digital “noise”. This is a difficult subject to test or confirm to be real.but basically what is “real” for the mind, is truly real. The results can affect what the listener believes he hears for years on end. Much of this phenomena can be outside the field of measurement. It’s absolutely not simply 1 and 0s in the end but other sonic changes due to the process. So having folks believe Wave files are sounding different in the end can be a very viable truth for the audiophile. but the 1A/1Z is also vastly superior now to using RCA Digital coaxial into the TA amp from a CD transport too. and always felt I could hear it as superior over computer generated USB to a DAC. Before I started using the 1A and 1Z I always used 16/44.1 from a CD transport.spinning actual CDs. Also I absolutely believe I hear a difference using the 1A and 1Z playback USB audio into the TA amp over using a computer for USB audio. I don’t hear any format differences but do hear betterment from files above 16/44.1 in some cases. IMO.meaning that it could be there as a difference or it could be just believed to be there. The timing in this case could affect what is heard.
It’s not fully understood why or how? Much could be expectation bias, where a standard set of beliefs will have the human mind confirm psychologically that it “hears” the process effects better.
Sonos my library best rip software portable#
I don't really buy a lot of music anymore,I have a pretty wide selection already.I'm looking for a portable solution to deliver good SQ,with a long battery life.The WM 1a certainly seems to be up to the job.Thanks for your Īudiophiles can be very susceptible to various bit-rate and digital playback configurations. I don't really buy a lot of music anymore,I have a pretty wide selection already.I'm looking for a portable solution to deliver good SQ,with a long battery life.The WM 1a certainly seems to be up to the job.Thanks for your input! The whole hearing thing is such a subjective issue,I really wouldn't argue with anyone about it.Out of all my CDs,I've compiled playlists of my favourite tracks.In total,in WAV format I only have just under 300gb.With the 128gb storage,plus a 256gb card,I'm easily covered.Oh,I'm assuming I can transfer files to a SD card in the WM1a once formatted,from the MacBook? Artwork can not be tagged to WAV files.On a MacBook it doesn't really bother me,but on a WM1a I can see it being more of an issue.I had originally ripped my entire CD collection to ALAC without giving it a second thought.After scouring many forums,and reading many conflicting and passionately held views on the subject,"bits are bits! "etc.,I decided to rip a couple of tracks I know well to ALAC and WAV.Side by side,the ALAC file,which had always sounded fine,seemed brittle and congested compared to the WAV file which was relaxed,smooth,and with plenty of air around instruments,etc.The difference was sufficient for me to spend a few weeks re ripping the whole lot to WAV.
