So what then is the purpose of a 'streaming transport' (no amp, no DAC) and why do they cost so much? The module itself that processes the streaming is not expensive. But the binding that makes the streamer a logically complete thing leads to an increase in price. For example, the ...
Sound card employs analog-digital-converter (ADC), which changes continuous analog signals to discrete digital ones. At the very least, a sound card provides a 3.5 mm stereo audio out and audio in TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) jack. However, many modern devices now use a single 3.5 mm TRRS (...
The DSEE (Sound Enhance) function is not effective for songs with a file format that is not compressed, or songs that are of high bit rate with no treble loss. In the case of songs of very low bit rate, the DSEE (Sound Enhance) function will not be effective. By activating the DSEE...
But depending on your DAW, you may need to download a few pieces of software to position objects in the immersive field and render the experience to stereo headphones. For example Dolby Atmos Renderer is required to create three dimensional mixes in Pro Tools. Ableton has a suite ofimmersive ...
DAC As noted above, a DAC converts digital audio into analogue. Many HiFi products, such asSonos Port, have a DAC built-in. This DAC ensures that any streamed audio is converted and reproduced to sound as clear as possible. Amplifier ...

What is lossless audio? Digital audio — the kind that’s written onto audio CDs — takes up a lot of room. Eighty minutes of stereo sound needs 700MB of storage space. Making a song smaller can save a lot of money in terms of storage and bandwidth. There are two ways to do that:...
Now, bitrate is calculated using a digital music file's sample rate and bit depth, plus the number of channels (two for stereo). Sample rate refers to the number of times samples of the audio signal are taken per second during the analogue-to-digital conversion process. CD-quality fil...
and the capabilities of the digital-to-analog converter (DAC) will have direct impact on the fidelity. 32-bit is better than 24-bit. With vinyl, there is a difference in phono cartridges that will have a similar effect as the CD player’s DAC does as to how pure the playback is.”...
