I was referring to other old languages such as VMS

COBOL also processes everyone's social security checks. SSA is reported to have more than 4 petabytes of data. Many federal agencies have HP or Dell make custom servers for the old languages they run.

I do not use 4K because of storage size. However, yes I understand what you are saying. So if you look at your Plex Server under Settings>General>Transcoder you will see disable video stream transcoding. By disabling you push the transcoding to the client/streaming device. I did have a...

Very interesting conversation for a non technical person like myself. I have been trying to figure out why dealers want me to buy a 300 watt amplifier when I only listen at 5 Watts. This is why I love ASR.

If your using AirPlay on the iPhone/Pad your phone is the streaming device and you are restricted bit rate wise. I believe the Matrix Element I has Tidal and Roon built in. Therefore you could then use the Roon app or the Matrix control app and the Matrix would pull the stream. The Iphone...
