Streaming users... a suggestion...

Hi all,

If you are using a PC/Mac and AIR with your Devialet, just try the following "free" tweak.

Select a test track you like, preferably with some complex musical passages. And play it.
Plug a USB thumb drive to your computer.
Probably you are using either FLAC or ALAC (in case of MAC).
Copy that same file to the external drive and play it from there.
Next, create a WAV version of the same file, put it on the external thumb drive and play it from there.
See if you hear any difference. Best, play them back to back.

For Mac users, if you do not have xld etc, Itunes can do this by selecting import format as Wav and right clicking on the file to say "create wav version".
For PC/Flac users, the free FLAC.exe you can find on the internet does this by "flac.exe -d" command.

I use Audirvana+ to play FLAC files from MAC by the way.

Instead of the thumb drive, if you have an external HDD, it is even better.

I don't know what the effect will be on D2D/Network players like Moon MiND.

Please report back what you hear...

Happy listenning
