It's not about volume kids.. it's about clarity.
I have an SI Super T-amp (15w per channel) pushing 2-way bookshelf speakers (home built) with 4" drivers and a 1" tweeter. Audio source is a M-Audio Mobile-Pre USB, connected to my Ubuntu laptop, playing FLAC files (lossless audio format).
So crisp and clear that it'll bring tears to your eyes. :D
How big is an average FLAC file, lets say a 4 min song?Quote:

Sorry for the slow reply here... FLAC files (or at least my FLAC files) average about 10mb per minute of audio. Average song is between 31 and 45mb. :)Quote:

The difference in imaging is UNREAL. The soundstage is wider, subtle details are more pronounced, and even lots of the real hifi guys I know are getting into lossless digital, as it's "bit perfect". CD's have some flutter and potential bit errors due to variation in surface reading and disc speed, but streaming from a hdd with a buffer is soooo much better.
Lossless vs CD may be hard to hear a difference for most people, but I imagine that someone who would spend $15,000 on a pre-amp, and $25,000 on speakers would be able to tell the difference for sure.
I'm busting my ass to find the link, but no luck so far...
www.canuckaudiomart.com has some great info on it.

I'd guess the .wav in a CD is higher quality... right? wrong?
Just curious.
Speaking of subwoofers, has anybody heard of the DeathBox?
Here's Death Box II
And here's their House Wrecker
They have another huge box "Jensen-type".
I got to build me some of those in the future.
What do you think about ^^^ those guys?
Actually, FLAC's are just lossless compression, like RAR's. You take a wav file and compress it into FLAC, and you can do the reverse as well.
