    192kHz audio.. because I want to play music for my dog

    • TheContact on 10/03/2016 - 12:28

      …that's the sampling rate, not the sound frequency.

        "Unfortunately, there is no point to distributing music in 24-bit/192kHz format. Its playback fidelity is slightly inferior to 16/44.1 or 16/48, and it takes up 6 times the space."

      • bargainperson on 10/03/2016 - 13:45

        "Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem says the sampling frequency must be greater than twice the maximum frequency one wishes to reproduce. Since human hearing range is roughly 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, the sampling rate had to be greater than 40 kHz."

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/44,100_Hz

      I think its the sampling frequency… and your dog will be so proud of you.

    • Daniel Plainview on 10/03/2016 - 13:24

      Not sure why @bargainperson was given so many neg's - I might be wrong but the last time I looked into studies on HD audio it showed that this was above the universally agreed hearing levels of the human ear - in a nutshell, any perceived difference is almost certain to be a 'placebo effect' as you literally can't tell the difference from the regular stuff.

      Like I said might be wrong BUT pretty sure the neg votes are a tad harsh if this info is correct. :-)

      PS. This is posted to HELP - as I thought HD audio must be brilliant and much like FHD & bluray video a noticeable step up in quality - but before I bought the gear (several yrs back) I read up on it and realised it was likely folly. :-)

        It's not a study people reference, it's a rant on Xiph.

        And he is probably getting downvoted because the what he said makes no sense because he is confusing sound frequencies with sampling frequencies (ie, 192khz! lel dog hearing!).

        The reason it's argued that 'high resolution' audio is pointless is the bit depth, not the bit rate. The difference between loud and quiet needed to justify the extra file size/expense of 24b is more extreme than going from a soundproof room to standing on Krakatoa when it exploded.

          I see what you're saying but that said I took his point as meaning that a human ear could not discern the increased quality that HD audio brings. And again I believe this is correct, but I'm operating from info several years old and from memory so if this is incorrect and testing has shown HD audio is discernable from regular CD quality it would be welcomed to provide context/support to discussion. :-)

  • lucksmith on 10/03/2016 - 12:26

    RRP's a stretch at $1299. You could buy this unit on eBay for "Approximately AU $754.60" with free shipping.

      Those are Japanese stock, which you can buy yourself for $500. I don't know what Rio is selling, but there's warranty.

      Not sure why you would spend more to purchase the unit from overseas, when you can purchase the unit cheaper from an authorized deale.

      Also you would get a Australia wide 3 year warranty by purchasing through an authorized dealer. This does not apply to units purchased internationally.

      • UFO on 10/03/2016 - 14:47

        He's not suggesting to spend more, he's suggesting the $1299 rec retail price is not realistic and would garner very little sales at that price… because what the competitors are offering at this price point is very competitive.

        At your advertised price it's more appealing, but its hardly '$600 off' as claimed.

        I do agree that buying local stock would be better for warranty etc. however.

  • Evil-Elmo on 10/03/2016 - 12:31

    I have a couple of players in the house capable of hi-res audio, and downloaded some great samples from 2NL (http://www.2l.no/hires/) to try them out.

    Anyway, I did some research looking for good sources of hi-res music and came across this: https://xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html It's a pretty interesting read.

  • jjcf on 10/03/2016 - 13:05

    It's like an X5, but with a worse interface, half the storage and double the price. Sweet.

    Spend an extra hundred bucks and get an AK100 II. Or a couple of hundred less and there are a world of competitors.

    • barryquinn on 10/03/2016 - 15:10

      I can only find the AK100 II in Australia for about $999, $300 more.
      Having said that, I'm not sure why I would want this. I bought a DAC (FiiO E17 ALPEN) a couple of years ago and have never worked out when I would use it. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
      Incidentally, Noisy Motel has the Onkyo for $999.

      • jjcf on 10/03/2016 - 15:32

        I've got an X5 and an AK120. It's pretty excellent being able to have ~ludicrous songs in my pocket and a high quality DAC and output stage that can power anything from my IEMs to my Beyer T1s.

        That said, unless you are the kind of person who has a big library and spent too much on headphones, they are all pretty overkill. One of the budget end Fiio or iBasso products are pretty great just for getting things off your phone.

        • barryquinn on 10/03/2016 - 15:38

          I can't stand IEMs. I mainly listen to music through my hifi, or via BT from my iPhone to my car audio (lowfi). The DAC or similar might be a good idea if I did lots of travel by bus, train or aeroplane.
