Music is often a challenge to materialist reductivism. No single element makes the sound, but the whole system (the sound reproducing chain)....
This thread is all about how to increase our pleasure in music listening. Le bien est l'ennemi du meilleur.
Since mp3 is over-compressed by its nature, I think transient response of a mp3 decoder is of more importance than detail, since it makes the...
I would really like to know what audio player you are using, what other ones you have tried, and why you use that particular one that you're using...
"Why in the hell would you convert a inferior codec called mp3 to wav.../" In order to be able to compare the quality of different mp3 decoders...
Sorry if I seem not to pay enough attention to people who post, but rather to posts' contents. The most important to me is the issue that it...
WIth mp3s Apollo has better transient response, and foobar has more details. Apollo's output is DS only, which is a pity. With mp3s, Apollo has...
Hardware players: old-school MP3 players, Apple’s iPod touch, or the typical smartphone. etc. [Online] player ≠ CODEC.

Well, I've been listening to it for a week every day with a playlist of 1720 FLACs. Works perfectly, without any glitch. No player messes with the...
It seems like most of the people here didn't take much effort to compare players' sound quality, partly because of the prejudice that 'If the...
If you converted PCM to DSD, yes, it would. Good enough is good to a degree, but the main question was "the best'.
Well, it's true, for some people curiosity killed the cat.
The sound is 'ehnhanced' at its most by pros in final mastering. If you need an enhancer chained to your audio player, you might possibly need a...
Possibly you should have read the Manual first. HQPlayer is also a high-quality audio file converter, with dithering, resampling, noise shaping...
All things being equal /1-5/, a different player renders different sound (differences being most obvious in sound definition - like a less sharp...
