sandyk Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 How a Digital Audio file sounds, or a Digital Video file looks, is governed to a large extent by the Power Supply area. All that Identical Checksums gives is the possibility of REGENERATING the file to close to that of the original file. PROFILE UPDATED 13-11-2020 Link to comment

Allan F Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Sam and Moe, two audiophiles, bump into each other on the street. Sam says, "Did you hear the news about Harry? He died suddenly last Sunday". "That's terribly sad news", says Moe, "What did he have?" "McIntosh, Thiel, Linn, and Nordost", replies Sam. Qhwoeprktiyns 1 "Relax, it's only hi-fi.
