I'm betting Audacity is the favorite of many some nice audio reviews at the end of the article. http://www.tweakhound.com/2013/05/28/converting-vinyl-records-to-digital-music-a-non-audiophiles-guide/ I've used EAC, Exact Audio Copy but I belive its limited to 16 bit depth. It also has a nice normalisation feature and pop and crack detector, and the ability to use an external file to fill in lost digital info. But its not a fast solution, and cumbersome!

Actually thats only part of the story, phase information is lost in the quantization of the data. Signal data is "shifted" to coincide with the sample. Nyqvist frequency and rate are Minimum requirements for a limited band with system. This specifically relates to spatial relationships of the instruments. of course this only applies to a live recording but most sound engineers try to emulate the relationships in the mixing. Ie the faster the digitization the more accurate the phase information will be, instead of being a coarse approximation of a slower rate. Think of it this way 1411k possible start points verses 9216k possible start points in a second both can do a 20 khz signal but with respect to time one will be quantitized closer to the actual start point..

By the Numbers 192/24 = 9216 kbs 96/24 = 4608 kbs CD= 1411 kbs 320 mp3 = 320 kbs Dano all the units have Dac that convert 192/24 back to analog so you can use your analog jacks. My HT powers my C1 through the pre outs L-R so the HT denon is my digital control to the C1 If the source wasn't recorded at the high bit rate then its a waste! Analog = Digital but at a molecular level , whats the molecular density of vinyl?

New products are here http://www.whathifi.com/news/high-resolution-audio-everything-you-need-to-know Audio Nirvana or Old duck with new quak what say you?

I have a set of Rt600i dome tweeters fully funtional if they fit? The diaphram is removable. Plastic snap in!

I'm thinkin like 10 years, as stations upgrade thier equipment they will lobby the FCC for change over, due to cost of operating thier old equipment. Better sound when it's tuned in? LoL where have we heard that one. They will propably run a compression algorithm to save bandwidth, and when you lose signal it's just gone, much like sattelite.

Gary Welcome. Ahh another soon to be victim of OCCD. Joining us means you took the RED pill! Time to see the rabbit hole. LOL! Regards James

Welcome to the site! a bit late but I've been busy.. I love the diversity here of audio formats, even though I'm an older engineer I know FLAC! Great build on the Rack!

When we motocrossin the boys used to pump up with Rob Zombie (nephew and his friends).

Definatly!

Sit down pull up a chair you'll fit right in to your new online home! LOL. Our OCCD support group is no help! I've doubled my amp collection! Not to mention the increases in the LAB equipment. More like whispers in your ear, Buy that you'll be happy, infact buy two! Regards James

I used to be normal, but then I joined this site. One m400t and C1,tx2. NOW a couple of 1.5ts M500t MkII M500, couple of m400t's C1,CT3, and Tx11 I feel my OCCD is under complete control! Welcome to the site, and there is no going back! BTW I only have a mild case! We all have a love of music in common!

Welcome to the site Antonio

Welcome! Time will fly and before long hashy will have that M1.0 sounding sweet! Ps. Can you send some of that warm air up to Michigan?

Absolutely beautiful system! The only way mine would look that good is if its installed in a Hobbit House! Welcome..

Why does my Vinyl sound like crap?

I agree with the choices, Rush,Floyd but also add any recording from Sheffield, and My pipe organ recording, some of the (low) notes will send amps running home to momma!

Found a reviginizer for all I know it might say Elmer's under the label http://recordrevirginizer.com/faq.html

The science sounds good but Id be scared to run a high dollar cartridge first test!

If you snif some types it sounds better ??? Never heard of this....

Haha that's right before the Icicle off the tree trashes the B&O stereo !

The christmas lights are my favorite

I thought a good plot would be the fukashima radiation mixing with all the plastic in the pacific creating ???

Listening to Josh Groban Noel and it sounds like a variable bit rate, you can hear a sound envelope open and close with the intensity of the sound, not as good as the Cd. Once the activity comes up the ambience opens up to a better sound stage. My 2 cents!

Ok switched up PCM Spdif output path seems pretty darn good however the denon is reporting 44khz PCM audio using Roku. Zero drop outs Ps Hardwired Roku as I use Vudu and that was the only way HDX 1080p test would pass. Kinda nice Family buys Blue ray and I get digital copy for Vudu!
