Personally I think DAB+ quality is much better than old FM, at least for in car listening. In my experience it's also more reliable when driving under tunnels, remote areas, etc... (of course being digital either it works or it's completely silent).

Most FM radios migrated to DAB at least in Europe, but I don't know if it's a thing in USA. To be honest the quality is much better than FM (I don't know the bitrate exactly), and from an usability standpoint it's exactly the same. Anyway personally I listen mostly to internet radios, Radio...

Very clear, thanks a lot!

Which is the "correct" anechoic EQ to apply? AudioScienceReview: www.spinorama.org: Thanks! I'm really considering them along with a sub.

I listened to some high sensitivity / ribbon tweeter systems and fell in love with the sound, so now I would like to build one (to use it for music - not HT). I need some suggestions and/or criticism on the project below: target nominal sensitivity is around 98 dB before DSP and equalization...

My CCA started to work again. Certificate is valid up to 2035, so I guess if Google servers are still around in the next 10 years we are safe :)

Every time something like this happens I get the reminder that Google can switch off my music system at will (even the reproduction of my local FLAC files) :( What do you think about following alternatives to Chromecast Audio? I guess I may miss the ability to stream from some internet radios...

Personally I need to have at least a decent audio quality in my car. What I always do is, I choose the most basic setup when I buy a new car, since those Harman Kardon, Bowers & Wilkins, etc... "upgrade" packages are rarely worth the price. Then I simply bring the car to an audio installer and...

The thing is: Chromecast Audio works only when connected to the internet (also when streaming local media), because it works using cloud services from Google. Apart from hardware failures, Google could decide to make all Chromecast Audio devices useless in one second. Scary thought, I know :)

Please add also the TOSLINK digital out! :) I have my Chromecast Audio connected with TOSLINK to a MiniDSP and it works like a charm... I'm always praying it will not break, otherwise I would need to rethink my entire chain :(

Wow, coming from a Frenchmen this is really flattering :) Not really typical, but a landmark for sure: this is Ponte Vecchio (old bridge) in my city, Florence. Houses there are high end jewellery shops.

I suggest you to try also some other wines from the same region (Tuscany): Brunello di Montalcino Morellino di Scansano Any wine from the Bolgheri area I'm not an expert in any way, but this is my "objective" check list when I want to try a new bottle: Presence of standard classification...

I got this one from Amazon and I'm satisfied: https://www.amazon.it/DCSk-Hi-Fi-casse-altoparlanti-bianco/dp/B019545M6S/

Why don't they simply put a "real" (from a design standpoint) CE mark?

This is very interesting. Any analysis or data about the added - noise? - above 15 kHz?

So isn't it lossy by definition? Lossy in the sense that bit depth of the original file is reduced. Interesting. So can we say that MQA is lossless up to 16 bit and lossy from 16 to 24? This point is not really clear to me, because some sources says that it's lossy even for the first 16 bits:

Apart from all the concerns about DRM and market domination, this is what I understood from a strictly technical standpoint: MQA is a lossy codec, more similar to the old ADPCM (adaptive bit depth reduction) than to the "new" perceptual encoders (MP3, AAC, etc...). For 44.1 kHz/16 bit standard...

So I checked in the actual code, and found this comment: ;; Algorithm by Benjamin Schwartz ;; Clip Fix is a simple, stupid (but not blind) digital-clipping-corrector ;; The algorithm is fairly simple: ;; 1. Find all clipped regions ;; 2. Get the slope immediately on either side of the region ...

Declipping functions try to reconstruct the missing waveform interpolating it with some algorithm: Audacity: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/clip_fix.html Audition: https://helpx.adobe.com/audition/using/diagnostics-effects-waveform-editor-only.html#declipper_options
