kuffs posted:Well, yeah. Kind of what they mean by lossless, as in, "No different from the original once it's decoded." I mean the difference between 256 and lossless.

Devian666 posted:I believe most audiophiles have no technical understanding. They're ripe for exploitation. I think it's pretty obvious that they're being nicely exploited, otherwise they'd actually be making all their power cables, instead of spending 12k on them. I keep trying to think of something to make and sell to audiophiles, but I'm fairly sure I don't have the creativity to come up with anything so far fetched that people will actually buy it. My last resort is just going to be making wooden volume knobs, but inlaying pieces of brass and silver. It'll make it WARM BUT DETAILED AND THE MIDS REALLY COME OUT. e: Omegaslast posted:Some people think room treatments can do more for sound than simply upgrading speakers (i dont really but some do). However i do subscribe to the belief that room treatments are the biggest change in sound right after a better loud speaker. I think amps just need to be "adequate", and dont really change the sound, cd players and dac do almost nothing, especially for the high prices. So basically if you want to get more out of your speakers dont look at upgrading the gear, you should look at sound treatments, as they will get you closer to how the speaker is actually supposed to sound.

I don't get why a $300,000 system is setup in a room with, from a glance, isn't even setup perfectly. I don't recall ever seeing a really finished setup without some pretty blatant bass traps
