    DLNA

    DLNA casting is supported on the Ultra. The issue at hand is for the Pro and Pro Plus, where, as far as I know, DLNA casting has never been announced as being supported.

    DLNA

    DLNA does not show on my Pro - same firmware version. DLNA devices are Sonos which even though it is not official DLNA shows as DLNA is other software.

    DLNA

    I believe DLNA casting is just available on the Ultra but not on the Pro or Pro Plus except maybe in the old Beta.

    KABOOM!!!

    Here is a copy of the original digital case of Telarc's 1812. It indeed says "Digital Cannons" but by all accounts that is misleading. The label does reference page 6 of the enclosed pamphlet I do not have the booklet from the original release, but I have found references that it says that the...

    KABOOM!!!

    The Stereophile article I listed was a contemporary review. My guess is that what you are remembering is the fact that the cannons and bells were recorded separately and digitally mixed with the orchestral recording. Digital was very much in its infancy in 1979, so I think there were critics...

    KABOOM!!!

    As I understand it the cannons and bells were real but recorded separately and digitally mixed into the orchestral part. That was a new process then but it pretty standard in the digital age. See, for example, here ...

    Tech Tuesday: Audio Codecs Demystified 🔊

    Should be DSD64 is actually equal to 16/176 or 32/88 (not176) : 16*176 =2.822Mhz. 32/88 = 2.822 Mhz. DSD64 is 2.822 Mhz. 24/88.2 = 2.122 Mhz. The math is right, but my description is wrong. Should be 32/88 not 32/176. DSD64 stands for the fact that 2.822 MHz is 64 times 44.1 Khz so 64/44. I...

    Tech Tuesday: Audio Codecs Demystified 🔊

    Sorry, my careless mistake. It is actually equal to 16/176 or 32/176 : 16*176 =2.822Mhz. 32/88 = 2.822 Mhz. DSD64 is 2.822 Mhz. 24/88.2 = 2.122 Mhz. Unfortunately I cannot edit my old post. But thanks for catching this.

    DSD is he only format listed under High-Resolution Audio. Any PCM format over 16/44 is usually call High-Resolution. A brief description of high rez PCM would be appropriate. FYI - I would point out the DSD64 at 2.822 MHz has the same number of bits as 16/24 PCM. So, in fact in terms of bits of...

    Spotify Spotify's new 'Exclusive Mode' gives you "bit-perfect" playback from the Windows desktop app

    This is a natural step now that Spotify provides CD quality streams. Prior to that, having bit perfect was not a big deal. But with lossless CD quality it makes sense that they would add exclusive mode as an option. The downside is that any other apps cannot be heard on the same output when...

    Confirming this Ultra developer flub

    It should be reported correctly or not reported. Maybe ** or ?? or XX or something like that should be used if the bitrate is not known. Can you image reporting 44.1 KHz for all sample rates?

    WiiM Sound and Sound Lite - my impressions and measurements

    That's basically what What HiFI reported and some people here dismissed as just plain wrong. I wonder if the quality control is not very good and different Sound speakers do, in fact, sound significantly different?
