Title: Questions for audiophiles Post by: lolwut on October 10, 2012, 05:11:28 PM What are some awesome sounding lossless/flac songs, genre doesnt matter. I'm just looking for stuff to listen to all day.
Does playback software make a difference in audio quality? (Mac) help a brother out, the music quality of xm is awful. Title: Re: Questions for audiophiles Post by: goodlord666 on October 10, 2012, 06:33:43 PM Look. Why don't we turn this into a multi million dollar (/BTC) business right away?
Cut the desperate looking for help and salvation in niches of the internet and offer the service ourselves. QUESTION: Would you pay for music (in BTC) if it were offered as a FLAC download? Would you if it paid the artists directly? Would you if the music was free to download and copy regardless? There's some FLAC audio near where I am.

EAC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_Audio_Copy), great tool, those were the days. Also runs in Wine. That aside, didn't iTunes offer at least some artists optionally as AAC lossless too?

(Mac) I have spent some time using Amarra with iTunes, some people say it is better: check this thread out: http://www.head-fi.org/t/539740/mac-os-x-music-players-alternatives-to-itunes I think the most important part of the signal chain is your DAC...I noticed a huge difference when using an outboard DAC connected via the macbook's optical out (Cambridge Audio DACMagic).

They record everything live, the sound is raw and natural, this does require high-fidelity losslessness, many codecs fuck this up.
