    an Audiophile perspective, yes, there is a difference ... a rant

    I just can't explain myself in short form technically in English. Nobody reads what I write in the way I mean it, it has become a self fulfilling/aggravating error. I will never again answer an obvious troll ever, anywhere, and I will never discuss technical matters in English or at Ars. When I...

    an Audiophile perspective, yes, there is a difference ... a rant

    Ok, you edited. Well, I can get into detail and explain exactly how Jitter as a time-related word clock problem can introduce errors in the bitstream on the CD system. But I really don't want to. And as you say. It is a small problem, and only effects the bit perfect people out there, and it is...

    an Audiophile perspective, yes, there is a difference ... a rant

    I never meant it any other way. But you try and simplify things and things will get interpreted the worst kind of wrong. And really Ars Audio/Visual forum is the place where this is the biggest problem. There just does not exist "good faith" in reading for some very vocal people. As I said...

    an Audiophile perspective, yes, there is a difference ... a rant

    Give me a break. It was the first one I found, but it explains the basis of what Jitter is, but the only case it is a problem is on CD's because the fucked up way by todays standards it is made to read out the data. If you want the full explanation about Jitter please read the complete Red Book...

    I need a new mattress

    Well, it's hard to describe. But for example. I have a double mattress bed myself at the moment (now counting from top to bottom). Three actually if you count the one you set the sheets on. Both the bottom spring mattresses are 15 cm thick, and the top or protective mattress is about 5 cm thick...

    an Audiophile perspective, yes, there is a difference ... a rant

    CD-audio is an old technical solution that is not easily reduced to only a bitstream. Jitter exists, and it can lead to faulty readings. That's just a fact. When it comes to CD-Audio you have obviously missed a few chapters. Most other digital audio formats and methods does not have that...

    an Audiophile perspective, yes, there is a difference ... a rant

    WTF. It is exactly the way I feel about your posts. You repeatedly prove that you are unaware of several technical terms that people in the field has written papers about for decades, then calls my posts full of shit. I post one thing here that was just a general opinion-piece about how I...

    an Audiophile perspective, yes, there is a difference ... a rant

    Thank you for proving my point. Edit: Especially since you are famous for misinterpreting, taking things from old post, twist them out of context and basically yourself not knowing the whole story. I wasn't going to say it. But you really should just do like me and stay out of these things here...

    I need a new mattress

    The reason to have two mattresses in one frame is that you buy one mattress for you that is the right comfort for you, and another mattress for the other person that is right for that person. Then you can have a bedding mattress that is thinner that fits over it all if you like (I prefer...

    STFUAPP: funny pictures may be NSFW.

    I thought NASA used Metric system internally almost since the beginning, just to avoid problem with contractors around the world, doesn't that make this image kind of wrong?

    I need a new mattress

    My experience at 48... There is a few things in life you should not tamper with the quality choice and settle for a cheaper alternative. Car Tires, Base Food and Beds, in no particular order. Personally I have a few more things on that list, but for general purpose, this is the most base-level...

    an Audiophile perspective, yes, there is a difference ... a rant

    I gave up years ago talking about Audio on Ars Technica. I have worked as a Sound Engineer in studios, acted as producer on recordings. Learned everything about the technical aspects of audio. Even took courses (and held lectures) about human hearing. I've built all sorts of audio equipment...

    Galaxy Note 5 leak shows glass back, fixed battery, and no MicroSD slot

    Another thing. What I did immediatly after reading this article and posting my first response was to drop a mail to Samsung directly about my concerns of their future plans. I suggest others do the same. Public outcry can have a positive effect if it actually reach the source.

    Galaxy Note 5 leak shows glass back, fixed battery, and no MicroSD slot

    This is exactly as I feel. No MicroSD, no phone. I currently have a Note4 with a 128 GB card in it, and I have less than 5 GB left on the card and a little bit more in the phone. Luckily I will not have to change phone for a while, but... Unless they have built in base-memory of something like...

    Ars prepares to put “audiophile” Ethernet cables to the test in Las Vegas

    Ok, I'm kind of an audiophile, but my trickery is based in the analog domain. And I always set a reasonable cost-block (Except apparently for record-players). If an ethernet cable makes a difference you have other problems in your setup. The only point of a Audiophile ethernet cable is to make...

    Strange network behaviour.

    I suppose if Win 8.1's network solutions work well with Win 7, and not with the NAS, and The Win 7 network has no problem with the NAS, then the re-route improvement would make some sense. I will investigate further with more computers I have on other parts of the network... I hope this is not a...

    Strange network behaviour.

    Well, remember the source drive is never moved from the Laptop at all. The only difference is that I initiate the transfer from another computer. Yes, the Laptop is hardwired. The Main PC is i7-3820 with 32 GB ram over 8 sticks. No overclock at the moment. The Laptop is i7 Haswell (No CPUid CPU...

    Strange network behaviour.

    Well, it should be MB/s... :) Did I mention I had a monster headache when I wrote that? :) Please transform all GB/s to MB/s... :)

    A mini pc as a music server?

    If you use a DAC capable of decoding your original source, it will be as bit perfect delivered as the file-format permits. However, if you have for exampel a DSD-file but a standard DAC such as Cambridge Audio Dacmagic plus, then the driver will tell Jriver (or whatever software you are using)...

    Strange network behaviour.

    So, I have a home network based on Gigabit network parts. The central point has a 24 port switch on entry pro-scale. DHCP is handled by my ASUS Router connected to that. My four NAS servers is in another room connected to an 8-port Switch of standard better home quality. It's just connected to...
