As for the m4a files, I converted these to WAV at various bit rates and both 44.1 and 48. The best sounding files were at 48kHz/24 bit. The WAV files ripped by the TASCAM to 44.1/16 sound better when upsampled to 48kHz during playback.
I converted m4a files which are aac on itunes to wav and to flac but did not notice any difference. Is it because the itunes music is aac and not alac? I would not expect there to be any quality "difference". What you did added no new information to the files; it simply un-compressed them to a...
AutoEQ provides .wav FIR files for either 44.1kHz or 48kHz sample rate playback (you can use AutoEQ to generate .wav FIR files for other rates too). I got the 44.1kHz .wav FIR file, so I set the resampler plugin in foobar2000 to convert everything that is played to 44.1kHz, so that if playing other than 44.1kHz files, it gets resampled to 44 ...
Thanks for the information. I will check in the manual if m4a is supported. It is a real shame. The system can play CD and it can also rip them to the internal HDD (very limited) of the car in a lossless format, so there really is no reason for this limitation as far as I see it.
Typical ringing of (old) filtering can be seen with Filter 1. You know, back in 1982, Marantz released its first CD player (CD-73) which had a 14bits only DAC and was relying on oversampling (and noise shaping) filter to compensate for the missing 2bits.
This is a review, measurements and listening tests of the Shanling M0 Pro digital audio player and DAC. It is on kind loan from a member and costs US $129.99 on Amazon. As you see, this is a very diminutive player, easily fitting in your pocket weighing almost nothing. Music is stored on...
The problem with using Viper is this limits you to Android's sub-par audio system, which is 16-bit and resamples audio to 48khz using a low quality algorithm (though something like Neutron can partially work around this with its own internal resampling). As far as dedicated DAP use goes, just...
This is a review and detailed measurements of the Matrix Audio mini-i 4 streamer, balanced DAC and preamplifier. It was sent to me by Shenzehenaudio and costs US $649. I am neutral on the look of the unit. The only button for power is on top. The front panel is touch sensitive in different...
YouTube seem to be rolling out a new method of loudness normalization. Instead of only applying negative gain on tracks with above -14 LUFS loudness, it seems to be now also applying compression to all tracks regardless of LUFS / loudness value.
Since the WiiM Pro does have a Google Chromecast bluit-in, that uses different protocols than the WiiM App, we have to check its specific behaviour. To do so, I used a 44.1kHz 0dBFS sine wav, played through Roon (and WiiM Pro Chromecast as a Roon Endpoint). We got this:
