    B&O Beoplay E8 3rd Gen take aim at AirPods with 35-hour battery life

    I think you will find Bang and Olufsen are Danish, rather than Dutch.

    Yes, the AptX of Bluetooth is actually that good. I have just discovered that.

    Thanks a bundle Huchiz. I am downloading now. Have you compared AptX to Apple Airplay? If so, which do you consider (IYHO) superior?

    The worst TV!

    Do you mean WORST?

    Is this forum pointless?

    Pointless, possibly. If you find it so, don't post.

    Does DAC quality really matter?

    If this is the case then how can manufacturers market and sell 5k dac/streamer products succesfully?? Well, the same way that car manufacturers sell vehicles capable of 200mph when the speed limit is 70 and the likelihood of reaching 30 for any distance in a major city is remote. Or the way...

    AAAARGHHHH Itunes woes!! Sort out entire itunes library

    :) 8) It's far simpler than that if your files are still on your drive but have been 'lost". In iTunes, go to File (top bar), Library, select organise library. This will copy all the media files on your computer and any attached drive into your iTunes folder. Copy, not move. So then you can use...

    Bristol Show Video

    Did no-one think to edit Verity's report on the Bristol Show. It repeats in several places and she clearly does not know what flywheel effect means (given her intonation). Come to think of it, wasn't she the one who wrote about loudspeaker INputs. EDITED BY MODS – CONTRAVENTION OF HOUSE RULES

    How much do you think an iPad Pro will cost?

    Exactly what its target market think it is worth, otherwise it will not sell. So around £150 more than an iPad Air. 8)

    Blind Listening Tests are Flawed

    Oh for goodness sake all of you. Put your toys back in the box if you are not going to play nicely! If it sounds better to you and you have the money buy it. If you don't have the money, or it does not sound better, don't buy it. It is not life and death. Just play some music and enjoy it. If...

    Loving music and loving hifi

    For what it is worth, I can enjoy a great song, or a great melody down a telephone line. But that is NOT music. It is SOUND. The sound reminds me of some beautiful music I once heard. It is a facsimile of the music. Just like a holiday photograph reminds me of a beautiful view. The best hi-fi...

    Which codec is best for lossless ripping?

    Rip everything into WAV (AIFF if you use a Mac) this leaves you with more room to manoeuvre in the future if you want to batch-convert to something else. Then export as ALAC or AAC for your iPod. WAV or AIFF are exact copies of what is on the CD. ALAC and FLAC use clever algorithms to compress...
