Your minidsp flex in the speaker stereo system allows you to correct the room acoustics, integrate up to 2 subwoofers and customize the target curve. All this tremendously improves the sound quality, by far exceeding any potential benefit of a high resolution source. I have a similar system in...

Some believe that a more expensive device will yield a "better" sound, others - that opamps have some inherent, not measurable and magical "sound signature" that could be changed to their liking. All this is a distraction from real problems, such as poor speakers or room interactions.

More like 200 sq ft :)

It goes like this. Someone selects a target of an established fame and recognition (a novel, a film, a band, etc) and asks: "Is it just me or does someone else doesn't like X?". This thread is actually mildly entertaining - the target is a pop band which was in its time wildly popular, mostly...

Looks like Honda doesn't want to miss out on the mowfile market!

A high speed audio cable... Makes the same sense as high speed golf cart or tractor mower does.

The click is coming from the startup relay. Why are you bothered by it? In my setup, in which I use CEC and the Apple TV bluetooth remote, I can hear 3 clicks when turning the system on or off: one from x4800, one from the TV, and one from my external relay driven by x4800's output trigger for...

I'm sceptical of anyone calling himself/herself an audiofile.

The compression program flac.exe comes bundled with EAC, no need to download anything. I've been using EAC for many years now and I like it. The software is very mature and reliable, with great attention to detail. (Hover the cursor over a UI control and it will pop up a tooltip text describing...

I don't think you understood the joke...

If you really agreed, you should have put the word "great" in quotes :)

Right, right... 10 lg (power_ratio) = 1.3dB ==> power_ratio = 10 ** 0.13 = 1.35 ==> power_increase_percent = 35% I guess, my question is how you arrived at the perceived volume (loudness?) increase.

13% - is it an increase of the perceived volume or rather the ratio of powers? The perceived increase of volume will be next to none.

???? If you studied math, you certainly were tasked with proving that a theorem is true. As an example, you could prove that the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem is true under some conditions.

Of course it can be proved!

Customarily, branches of scientific knowledge are called theories. And so, we have Theory of Electromagnetic Field, Automata Theory, Circuit Theory, etc, etc. Scientists and engineers can draw conclusions from "theories", because theories consist of assertions proved to be true.

You sound like you are talking about the past...

Yes! Soviet technology was the best!
