HD Tracks? use J River....I hear from some folks that iTunes will now play FLAC files, but what they are saying does not give me a lot of confidence...To really maximize my computer sound, I had to ditch iTunes and reload, yes reload all of my cd's into J River. Yes is was a pain (700 cd's) but it was worth it. Maybe iTunes will become Hi Fi someday, but it isn't now. All of the above is just my opinion on what worked for me.
Hd not recognized on dac...iTunes, pc, USB problem
Hi folks,
I'm at a loss and would live your help.
I just downloaded some hd sample tracks in flax format from
linn and am trying to play these on my system which includes a wyred4sound dac1 (handling upto 24/96 via USB).
I tried to play these files from foobar2000 (as well as iTunes) but the dac1 display stubbornly shows 44.1 encoding. irrespective whether I use a 16, 24 bit file, or even go up to 192khz files. What is even mire strange is that 192khz files still play.
What is going on? Downplaying on the PC? Do I need to change a setting? I have win 7.
What can I do to hear these hd files ideally from
iTunes? Do I need to convert to apple lossless ? Does iTunes support hd apple lossless?
What if i stick with foobar?
Thx!!!!
