Have you tested any other lossless formats? What about APE?
You mention that you haven't tested "live gapless", yet. What about gapless, period? like, for example a recording that is not live, but some songs are recorded to not be separated by a gap...
I think also, the big picture would be, to know exactly what the Phantom + Dialog combo would never be able to do...
Like, wondering if the limitations you mention, of lossless uncompressed audio formats (96k/192k), and lossless compressed audio formats (192k; 24 bit music in 5.1 coding), are just things that Phantom owners will have to live with.
Other limitations could be HD formats.... If that is the case,...will Devialet be able to use the unplayable formats by auto-down converting them to the closest playable setup it detects?
I'm new to this kind of talk. My apologies.
p.s- Also:
I've never streamed in my life. I've been wondering... If I have music albums saved in one file, for example, 2 music albums/ 2 files (Instead of: saved as tracks), will I be able to play songs in "random" mode, from both albums, back and forth, randomly, as if they were all track files, instead of album files?
Thanks.
Hi Dvlt PhD,
No, I have not tested APE. As it is not listed in Devialet's spec sheet I assume it won't play.
So far, the shortest gap I can reproduce is around 100 ms. To be able to play gapless is a question of software implementation, i.e. when the next file is read into the buffer of the DAC. So, there should be no HW limitation that Devialet cannot solve in that respect. More difficult, if not impossible would be to always separate two or more tracks that are stored in one file as it is not obvious whether the 'pause' is part of a track or separates two tracks.
Devialet still needs to improve their current software, but From what they have done up to now, it should only be a matter of time until they have it done right. Others like Spotify can do it, so why Devialet not (I mean gapless playback)?
