Title: web streaming vs playing from hard drive Post by: pistollero on May 17, 2011, 10:56:25 pm I to all of you who love good quality sound, i have one question:
in the last days a discovery that when i stream music on-line from some sites, the quality is superb. (exemple: bleep.com) some times is more pleasant than from xx playback.... why this happen??? anyone experiment this difference??? tks,,, Title: Re: web streaming vs playing from hard drive Post by: PeterSt on May 18, 2011, 05:19:49 am Honestly, this is how I started to get interested in other means of transport ... :yes: It originates from 2003 or so, streaming music channels from digital satellite (from the radio channels from the TV dish).
For now, let's say you're not crazy, hence you could just be right. But let's be careful, in your situation. Be warned ... the subject is somewhat larger. Questions : Can you play movies, preferrably via the PC (but otherwise use an AVR or something) ? If you really sit down for it, does this sound rather well (if not better) to you, compared to XX ? *After* you have tested this (or if you already know the answer !), can you try some good MP3's ? Please don't answer this MP3 question by heart. Just try it one of these days ... ?

the only thing i ear different is my main problem of the treble extension....i think the xx treble is a bit loud, my sensation is that creates earing fatigue(i´m using engine3 wasapi) but the sound is almost there.... maybe with a usb/spdif converter i can use engine4 and maybe the sound is more accurate... :) |
