BTW, Amir's thread is now closed. Sadly because there are some questions that remain still unanswered.
...One in particular from Scott, @ the very beginning; I was going to put it to the attention of Mr. Amir because it was directly aimed @ him (by Scott), but unfortunately I ran out of time just before I was constructing my post extremely intelligently.
that was predictable all things considered I have to behave(for a while ) politbeuro sent me some love .When Armirn and Arny get back together in another thread things will get interesting again (they always do) been going on for years I think I will try to stay out of the beef next time and only watch !

So, one less audio (hirez) subject to concentrate on and more good stuff comin' up. ...Like movies for example.
Yea I need to watch some I have about 20 + recent DVD rips I need to watch. I like to watch them as main movie ISO w/o the previews and all
that and upscale them to 1080p before they get to the TV(s) this computer has a much better scaler than you would usually find in a TV or most up scaling players PS 3 is VG though .
Vapor ware IMO anyway you can't hear what you can't hear ! I have some hires (plenty) Even made some in the studio +(we work with 24/48 sometimes 24/96 only for editing headroom or up loads though B4 mixdown and renderng to 16/44.1 ,encode to mp** or ACC or ALAC . End user 16/44.1 sounds same same 2 me and most humans when we finish .
☺, plenty of hires capable playback chains here like the one I'm listening to right now spinning some Big band needle drops off hdd I ran through a sound editor and DAW and remaster just a touch came out very good I left the original surface noise and all the analog sound in only way to do those old (often RCA ribbon mike )recordings otherwise U kill dynamic range which surprisingly wasn't that bad in 1940's on vacuum tubes neither is overall recording
You can add just a small touch of compression to raise the noise floor , a touch of EQ (they did not have RIAA phono EQ then ) and maybe normalize only certain tracks very judiciously that might be a little woolly hafta be very careful it's one of those situations where all this when using just a little can make something better and a little more can totally ruin it takes some experimentation, do it right you can make some of these ancient needle drops sing. Impossible to do on some already over compressed modern stuff if like that I leave well alone can't put too much lipstick on a pig after all.. A little is usually good a lot is not !☺ I agree that *sometimes pristine less compressed /uncompressed files (with provenience not remasters ) are a good thing if you can break bread for them, has nothing to do with hires argument though. although a good remaster is sometimes useful also but you usually leave those be,
Contrary to popular wisdom adding compression is actually subtracting dynamic range it's not additive in that sense anyway but can add loudness and raise the noise floor and should be used judiciously if at all on real music .
It's expected on hip hop rap though that's part of the deal so the wanna be rap gansta's can blow out they sub woofers in their G rides! ☺☺☺
I listen to lots of other music also not much on rap and hip hop but we hafta do it that's where the business is .
Spinning this big band needle drop off the hdd loud through my PC and amplified 192kHz SC with burr brown DAC and ADAC and aftermarket hi res New Japan Radio op amps (sweet ) into Sennsheiser pro studio phones it's my bedroom set up the studio is a whole different universe but it's usually busy working wit my crew in there I don't work in there much(very little ) unless something goes haywire .

Like I just said above. ...I'd rather not think about it, and let them do some serious research (on American soil) to find a cure for this devastating killer virus (Ebola, and many many more...).
{Watch that flick; 'Outbreak'}
All the more reason folks should stay outta primordial rain forests and not fool around with the primates in there !
Stay outta Atlanta cant always trust these things

Watching the news on the Internet (from my laptop's screen): Obama: "We tortured them"
...I am not going to go any further with this (under the Bush administration, and the CIA), because it does not correspond with my thread's objective (last watched flick, or doc. in hi-def pic. and hi-res aud.) if you know what I mean.
I like FXNN Google it ☺☺

If, you last watched a political Documentary on Blu-ray, or DVD, or Laser Disc, or VHS tape, or hi-def and hi-res news on your HDTV or HD front projector or HD laptop screen; that is OK to mention the title, but no political or religious or hard-core porn discussions. Not here, not in my thread, and certainly not @ AVSForum. ...Comprende amigo?
I get it no prob I'll behave in your thread and maybe AVS in general ..........promise
Gonna sign off maybe troll some more around here and see what my favorite myth debunkers are up to or maybe not
Cool talking to you Cool stay Cool !☺☺☺
