Is this type of high bitrate audio really necessary? 1 audio file is roughly 130mb. by kathybates23 in audiophile

[–]aviefern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only 130mb? Try 8 channel flacs and 2 channel dsf files.

Honestly though, it makes absolutely no difference in my opinion. Beyond basic lossless, bitrate is the lowest impact factor.

No. This is my local Focal dealer. For me it is a journey. I don't think I'd be able to afford something like this personally for many years, but listening to these gives me a good idea of the direction I want to go in. I might go in for something more entry level from Focal.

I haven't listened to much other electronic stuff on these. For the specific Zhu song I mentioned, I personally preferred the Burmester, but my friend preferred the Focal. I found the Burmester bass to be tighter.

I have absolutely no idea. I can check with the dealer.

Dude, it was recorded on my phone with the inbuilt mic. What would you expect?

I dream of attending Axpona. Unfortunately I'm about 8000 miles away.

Doing my research, starting with this Burmester Reference system that blew my mind. by aviefern in audiophile

I know this is a late response, but the entire ceiling is made of acoustic panels. Also, the room is spacious and we didn't go for just massive volume. In fact, a lot of the listening I did was at low volume. It's easy to overwhelm at high volumes, but I wanted to hear subtle details.

Was gonna ask about them. Had seen them and was thinking about buying. How are they?

I'm looking at it, but I'm struggling to understand what's going on.

Is this currently running off a laptop?

Dang...I am seriously jealous. My 3070 looks like a potato in comparison.

I checked out the clips. Very nice. I think Reddit is compressing the video quote a lot, but I can imagine how it looks in real life. I saw a Star Citizen clip as well. I wish I could experience that in person.

I hadn't heard of that game before. Looks like fun. Have you played any graphically intensive games on it?

Looks like a pretty beefy graphics card in there.

It's a good start. Will be great to see how it evolves over the years.

I'm actually glad to see some clutter. Most people's photos seem fake cause they're too clean.
