I also know about Bjørn Berge (have spoken to him sometimes)

However. Only about 5 of the songs on this album happen to have good sound. The others are compressed. Some are very compressed.

Testet win8 server today. Just virtual to get a feel on it. Seems very unfinished.

Have tried win8 alot. You can "disable" the new gui if you want.
(Have not got used to it yet)
It runs easier than a standard Win7 installation already.
I have not tried win8 as a Music player. Just used it with a virtual installation.

I am perfectly satisfied with my tweaked win2008r2 64bit that is better sounding than win7 (both ultimate, enterprise) for my ears.
Win8 server is also out. Will look into it.

Musiland digital times.

pedal - feel free to elaborate further.

When we know about all the "false" marketing tricks from some resellers of HD music - and all they do is to introduce "noise" in one form or another - how can this be good?

If your ears tell you otherwise it is a good thing for you.
I have analyzed some HD material (using izotope RX, audiocity etc.). I can tell you, not all is good.
I think it is a very good article. Maybe everything is not 100% correct but it makes you think doesn't it?

Only 1 nick.

Posts were regarding NOS1. How it is build up and so on.
I have in fact changed the psu in one.

I think it was in an already started topic.

Strange very strange. 5 possibilities...

1. A server crash with an old backup restore? ( I cannot find any post regarding that issue here)
2. Administrator or moderator deleted all my posts? (how many mods are there?)
3. Someone logged into my account (as me - hacking) and deleted the posts? (If they are able to edit after a while?)
4. Could be a "post scrubbing" is enabled in the SMF forum but i doubt that
5. Something is just not right?

Use a high quality soundcards spdif out and you could get extremely good sound.
Like Asus Essence st(x).. Look at stereophiles measurements of the spdif connection.

Much better than usb-spdif in my setup

I have not been extremely busy in this forum but my earlier posts have vanished. Why and how?

Sincerely

Yes it is interesting.
Not much mumbo jumbo in that article.

Still I have a feeling that age is quite important regarding these issues.

Lots of people really enjoy hirez music and hirez dacs. Still just as many prefer 16bit/18bit dacs (tda1541, ad1865 etc..)
Strange isn't it?
