;( Audio card

[EmoRarity]

Training your hearing is possible, but not if you know what is playing. If you're expecting to hear something better, it will sound better.

Sssh, placebos are a placebo.

[creatip123]

   .Headfi probably. Would explain hearing the impossible.

 

I think that's why it tops out at 192kHz. At 256kHz or more, you might start to hear spirits and undeads.....

 

Now thats not how these top notch audiopeeling peel, get let the placebo enter the body and fill your holes.

Can be pretty sure it is, because no studio outputs that high when its pointless anyway.

 

Well, to be fair, there are a few songs that are distributed at that high of sample rate, just not many, and not the mainstream kinds of songs either. 

 

 

.... I spent hour listening to music, the same music, over and over to figure out what was different at different parts of the song and at different pitches and tones... I know it is much better. 

 

Here's a fun thing to do: google 'philips golden ear challenge'. It's a fun audio quizzes set. Should be easy for audio grandioso of your caliber....

Case and point.

No.

 

That's my line, asshole.

[EmoRarity]

That's my line, asshole.

Time for a new one.

Time for a new one. 

 

What should it be, then.

[Kevin_Walter]

That's my line, asshole.

 

Too slow, buttmunch.

... Yes... I listend to the audio eyes closed to make sure i could feel all the sound

[BenD]

since my ears are pretty much ruined (i have a constant buzzing in it) and i don't hear those little differences and i guess most people don't (because who has the time?)

no it's not worth it, when you buy a high-end mb , you do not need a sound card at all, because if you have looked into it, there are no new sound cards. it's about dacs & amps (if it's the same don't shoot me)

those audiophiles who have build a life arround sound, can talk hours about it.

but if you have to ask yourself: is it even worth it, it means you can't tell the difference and so it's not worth it

=> life lesson to all: if you have to ask yourself why or is it worth the trouble.... The answer is allways NO

192kHz is available for some mainstream stuff (HD Tracks is fairly mainstream). They generally just don't sound a whole lot better, imo (most are just remastered stuff). Linn Records has some relatively mainstream genres too.

 

I think 2L has better-done recordings (not mainstream though), and you can get them in DXD. DSD256 is also available from some sources. 32/384 PCM and DSD256 are the highest resolution formats distributed commercially at this point, afaik. 

 

Inside some studios DSD512, DSD-Wide and PCM formats upto 64/66 bit depth with 1536kHz sampling (and possibly even higher) do exist. Audio recording and/or playback gear do not resolve such high detail, but the formats are used to ensure that editing causes as little damage as possible to the source (computational accuracy).

Spotify premium supports up to it and online... but in general the Audio soounds better when i Select 192khz then the like 48/96khz option on the sound card or on the intergrated

Spotify Premium supports WHAT?

 

I've never seen anything more than 320 kbps, 16bit 44100 Khz .ogg files used in Spotify? and I have Premium, with the maximum quality option enabled.

Sounds cards used to have a place on the market, they do not anymore however.

Most (95% of motherboards) have adequate audio, and if you ever actually need a sound card, a amplifier is instantly a better option.

Agreed.
