Nah, I got the vibe fine. I've been on the Internet for a while. I remember reading an article years ago in a blind test, Millennials preferred MP3's over the actual CD sample. I can't blame them, if they've only heard compressed music their entire lives. Hi-Fi will die, because the consumer can...

Everyone who can tell the difference must be insane I guess.

There's a reason why electronic artists go to pawn shops and flea markets to buy old synthesizer. A CPU can't emulate that sound. It can try, but it doesn't sound the same.

True, it's not technically a losless format like Sony LDAC that can do 44.1 kHz, 16 bits losless. But, it's a HUGE but, AptX Adaptive can do 16/24 bit-depths at 44.1, 48, and 96 kHz. That basically means you can theoretically do more than twice CD sampling rate, which should be better than even...

Wow, I stumbled up this thread, because I'm trying to find a DAC/amp for my desktop speakers. And oh, boy. Trust me, as a computer scientist, there's more than one way to skin a cat. And there's a million ****** ways any developer could have written a DAC to work. And then there's a million...
