Windows and Android versions of Apple software are always in my opinion a half baked piece of software. I use iCloud in a browser window for my photos and videos to import my files to Windows (I use an iPhone and also a Windows 10 PC). When it comes to streaming audio, Apple have made absolutely...

I don't want to have to do this every time I upgrade my rig when an enclosure would permanently address it. Also, replacement or "treatment" of a component that is otherwise ideal such as a high end GPU for this reason isn't something I want to have to do either.

Do you think that removing the side panels of my PC case and just placing the chassis in an MDF box with studio foam on the inside would achieve better results than leaving the side panels on and doing the same? Sorry if I am misunderstanding and you mean that the issue is worse in rooms with...

The use case is a my PC tower, there are many electronic devices inside of a computer capable of emitting mosquito noise when under load (and sometimes not). The most common culprits are SSDs, and GPU/CPU VRMs when loaded. I am 32, I have tested my hearing with a online tests and I can hear up...

You know, when I was using my free trial of Tidal and subsequently researching MQA, I had the persistent question of whether Tidal will serve me unfolded MQA files if I just request Hi-Fi (FLAC) or will it always have a FLAC file that does not contain MQA encoding available to stream seperately...
