Like I said, I don't watch Darko. I mostly listen to often reasonably well recorded classical music, hence my conclusion.

I don't watch Darko but isn't that a matter of opinion? I much prefer digital so it is likely that I would find the Node 2 better than the equivalent vinyl player, you would probably say the opposite. None of us is wrong of course because it is a matter of personal preference...

"Sounds good" is subjective, a matter of preference, it depends on the listener. For every audiophile who prefers vinyl there is another one who is "floored" by digital. LP sound is not analogue sound: vinyl playback adds quite a bit of its own set of mostly signal-correled distortions, things like surface noise, static, channel bleeding, monaural low-bass, high-passed sub-bass, high-frequency roll-off in inner groovers, off-centered records, speed stability, arm and cartige resonances, airborne and platter vibration pickup, RIAA filter, cartridge transduction, etc.

Dumb question. 🤔 Can I flash the ".7z" NAA image into the SD card like I did with the ".img" file or to I need to extract the image? -

I really like this recording: https://www.qobuz.com/gb-en/album/oeuvres-pour-violoncelle-zoltan-kodaly/0013491101521 -
My grandad was a big fan of Arrau. That's how I came to know and love his playing. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Arrau-Plays-Liszt-Piano-Concertos/dp/B004OUFSU4/

iTunes downconverts 24-bit ALACs into 16-bit AIFFs!!!
semente replied to semente's topic in iTunes and Everything Apple
Couldn't find any option to keep bit depth and sample rate as original. iTunes has a suitable for dummies design approach apparently... They decide which bit-depth is best for the user. -

It didn't convert ALAC to AIFF automatically, I asked it to because HQPlayer doesn't read ALAC. I need to check the settings again, reverted to using XLD for the time being.
