Eh, I'm willing to go with aiff if it means better sound, but not with aiff and local storage for everything

Yup, that's where I am

It seems like it also doesn't like remote libraries. I'd have to change how I host files to make it work for me.

The weekend after labor day is my minimeet, perhaps you could bring the zana to that

plus, chicks dig it

smaller memory footprint

Given how often calculus comes up in most peoples' lives, it's really not surprising that concepts that foreign to most people are a challenge for them. That you have a skill they don't doesn't make you superior.

Happy Birthday Mr. Johnson.

airport works great with pc

It's good for you to deal with people like that

more horsepower is better. More important is to get good bits. And think about getting a good router table, too. Seriously tho, get the newest airport extreme. Gigabit switch, can run 2 separate wireless networks at the same time.

if that's how you read that, then there's the 2nd option...

just like I predicted

You weren't being bullied, you were being criticized. If you don't like the criticism, there are 2 potential solutions: 1) listen to what is being said, and learn from it. 2) Go away, and stop reading it.

We've gone so hypothetical that I can no longer follow what it is you're trying to say.

No one said it wasn't a good amp (I haven't heard one, so I couldn't say), just that HPA's reviews are always positive.

No, I'm not saying that. It all depends on the master. You'd want dither to prevent bit alignment errors in almost every situation. When you convert from higher bit depths to lower, you have to do soemthing to make sure there's no bit alignment errors from the conversion, and you want to make sure to remove excess headroom to make sure you don't lose data. If you have 80db of data, but leave 30db of headroom (reasonable when recording in 24bit), you need to move everything up, so you only leave 6db of headroom.

24bit audio doesn't need to be dithered when played back at 24 bits, right. If you mean playing back 24 bit audio at 16 bit, then you definitely need to dither, unless it was mastered for 16 bit compatibility.

Me too. I bubble wrapped the poop out of those postage pounds...

You obviously can hear the bottom bits when the music is quiet, and ears are really good at picking up "wrong" even when it's very quiet. Dither exists to make the errors unobtrusive. Besides, I'm not arguing that 16 bits is more than you need. I'm arguing that 24 bits is more than you need, that 16 is enough. Plus, just because it's possible to master correctly for 16 bits, doesn't mean that everything being converted from 24 to 16 was mastered correctly.

Right, but that's a decoding problem. You obviously apply dither on the last bit when converting from 24 to 16 bits. The format was written that way so as to be compatible, not to make it ideal.
