384KHz Audio (FLAC) Support.
Hi all,
Just to say that today I tested a 384KHz, 32bit float FLAC file (Which is about the same as 24bit normal AFAICT) on a Pi 2 with Xbian and a PCM5102a DAC, and it works really well! Up until now, 192KHz was the highest I could play. So the newer updates have brought this level of quality to our humble pi setups - Wow! Just in case you didn't know, were wondering, or were waiting for this to try it out! |

to be honest guys, even 192kHz is nonsense
I have been into highend HiFi for some time, probably more than 15 years... Human hearing can not ever gain anything from this But nice to read that it does work ~~~~>>>Please always follow rules and read before you post<<<~~~~ |

Don't confuse 'frequency response' with waveform accuracy!
The more samples per second, the more accurate the resulting waveform as less interpolation 'read guess work' is needed. |

Everyone has a right to thier own opinion, but not everyone can be right.
I worked in pro audio for decades, but now I leave those who care about it to learn, research and draw their own conclusions. I did not attempt to tell people what to think. I made no claims about what I have tried. I just reported the fact that it worked. End of. |

I do have all my locally stored collection in FLAC, I do use Tidal HiFi, we do have a CDs but I still prefer vinyl https://goo.gl/xqJUlL I think that going higher than 24 bit 192kHz we can not actually gain anything...but as you said, its just an opinion ~~~~>>>Please always follow rules and read before you post<<<~~~~ |

RE: 384KHz Audio (FLAC) Support.
Wow, that's definitely amazing, because i am also looking for a way to raise sample rate of audio to make the output sound realer. I once used a converter to change the sample rate into 480khz and it is definitely wonderful. It is also a mp3 resizer that can downscale your audio file while you improve the bit rate and sample rate with 0% quality loss!

For music, however, I want to hear the performers sweat. My main converters do DSD 2x and the auditory cues lending to space are ridiculous. There is a difference between each stradivarius, just as there is a a difference between each Guarnieri. I swear I can hear the electricity in the wires in the building next to the hall and which direction it's travelling: the listener deserves to get as close to that as possible if they can't be there in person. I wish I made my living in that extreme resolution world...but I doubt I would dream at night because my days would be so vivid and detailed! FLAC is awesome...but if the source was less than ideal, garbage in = garbage out, so make sure the entire production was high bitrate or there's no point looking for the files. |
