what bit rate are CDs?

[kravmaga]

Anything mp3 sounds crap to me. Even 320 VBR. Flac is where it's at. Then again I have an expencive receiver and speakers hooked up to my PC.

CD's don't have a bitrate either. They are 44.1hz uncompressed digital. DVD's Dolby Digital is 192kbs and sounds like crap while DTS is around 600-800kbs VBR and sounds much better.

THEY ARE ONE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND ELEVEN KILOBITS PER SECOND.

I just go wav or run the cd in a dedicated transport/dac/power supply.

We have another psuedo audiophile.
You have only a receiver and speakers, meaning your setup is weak at best. Also you have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to how audio works.

No offence, but stop trying to sound knowledgable.

You are proposing that there is a digital storage device that is not binary?

But he wrote he has "an expencive receiver."

Ip addresses are 32 bit, not 2 bit. How bout them apples.

I have a receiver that powers separate vacuum tube pre-pre-pre-amps for each of the lines, they are then fed into individual vacuum-tube pre-pre-amp, that feed into DSP modules, that are themselves fed into separate vacuum-tube pre-amps, that are then equalized using a 1024-band equalizer, before being fed into amplifiers. This all powers my 128 speaker setup with driver sizes that range from 12 ft to 1 micron.

The cables are all quadruple-shielded 10AWG solid gold. CDs, DVDs, and SACDs are for amateurs, I only accept source material in the form of the original master tapes.

Do I qualify as an audiophile with this setup?

Which is about 150KB/s that what 1X read is, 150KB/s this applies to anything with CDs, DATA, MUSIC, Video etc.

My Dreamcast is 128 bits which makes it sound 8 times better than CD.

no. I only accept live musicians mic'd with $30000 vintage neumanns.

Your gear and setup don't mean jack sh|t. How much did it cost?

It's all stolen from Bill Gates' house, but keep it on the DL I don't think he's noticed yet.

If it came from the third wing off the main left wing and was in any of the last 90 rooms, he wont notice. He never goes there.

Sprawling manor grounds surrounded by barb wire and electrical fences, heavily armored guards armed with automatic rifles, rabid pitbulls with spiked collars, and an alarm system run by Server 2003... you braved all that for your sound system. That's hardcore. Congratulations, you're a true audiophile.

I don't really remember what part of the house it was in, we were drunk off Glenfiddich 1886 reserve and making doughnuts with dune buggies on persian rugs while whipping Ming Dynasty vases at each other.

Really? I like my DVD-A just fine. You sure your setup is up to it?

1440kbs if it hasn't been stated here already.

And what has an ip address got to do with what he is saying? IP address is not a digital storage device. In fact, ip address is binary, 8bit.8bit.8bit.8bit

2 x 16 bit x 44,100 Hz = 1411,2 kbps
