Like Tikker said, I'd take a look at the Dali Spektor 1 or 2. The Tangent Spectrum X5, Fyne F300 and Wharfdale Diamond 12.0 would also be good options aswell.

You tend to master at 32 bit because of all the headroom you can have with it. You don't have to worry about clipping the hell out of something. 192kHz is just nice because you can oversample to help cut down phase distortion and help eliminate aliasing.

Keep in mind that just because your DAC is capable of decoding 24 bit's it won't output 24 bits of Dynamic Range. At the moment, we literally cannot produce a DAC with Dynamic Range better than about 20.8 bits, roughly. We just cannot make the power supplies quiet enough. This file is about ADC's, but it all mostly applies to DAC's. https://www.ti.com/lit/wp/slyy086/slyy086.pdf?ts=1619795861067&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F Personally, I can very easily hear the difference between MP3 and 44.1kHz FLAC. I think I can hear the difference between

God that's a can of worms. Like other's have said, the Nyquist theorem dictates the highest frequency that can be constructed by certain sampling rates. So 44.1kHz is absolutely fine. When put simply, Bit Depth just dictates the dynamic range. 16 bit is 96dB, but with noise shaping it can attain 120dB+ of Dynamic Range. IMO, 16 bit 44.1kHz/CD quality is just fine for home use. I do however use much higher sampling rates and bit depths to master, as it has been shown that working at higher sampling rates/bit depths when mastering then downsampling to 44.1kHz

I wouldn't go near Tidal after the recent events surrounding them. I would check out Qobuz. It's 5 quid cheaper than Tidal, does up to 192kHz, has a good library and you can also buy straight FLAC from them. It also supports WASAPI from the get go. Alternatively, you could wait for Spotify HiFi.

Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 set.

Eh. I was more objecting against the idea of "drugs are fine" in my original comment.

I will probably get flamed for this, as Cryptocurrency is such a polarising topic. I do not believe this event will affect Cryptocurrency in the long run. There isn't even anything out of the ordinary occurring to ETH or BTC prices (so far). All Alt-Coins seem to be chugging along as usual aswell. Oh well. This doesn't have an effect on me. I managed to crash out very close to the end of the ETH bull run from the 20th to the 22nd (roughly). Made a pretty penny and I'm happy. Guess we'll see what happens tomorrow.

I can absolutely see how they could be linked, and work well together. But I just don't believe Cryptocurrency causes more damage to the world overall than the drug trade industry does. I doubt Cryptocurrency causes regular overdoses, organised killings, modern slavery etc. on a day to day basis.

I would love to see how Cryptocurrency causes more damage to the world than drugs do. Keep in mind everything that goes towards the entire "industry" of illegal drug trade.

Scarily easy. You could apply to list a new coin on an exchange in probably 30 minutes. https://www.bitdeal.net/how-to-list-your-cryptocurrency-on-exchange-websites

1.3 trillion is over half of 2 trillion. I was in no way incorrect in that statement. Half of 2 trillion is 1 trillion. 1.3 trillion > 1 trillion.

What? It's as easy to launder money through a bank as it is to launder money via Crypto. In september of last year shares for JP Morgan plummeted after their report showed that they helped launder 514 Billion USD. Deutsche bank helped launder 1.3 Trillion USD last year aswell. 1.3 Trillion USD is over half of the overall market cap for all Cryptocurrencies combined. I would avoid them for everything at all costs. After the BS they pulled during the GME/WSB hype and the recent DOGE bull run, they've proved themselves to be simply un-trustable.

I've already stopped using Tidal and moved over to Qobuz. The fact they will remove test signals from their MQA library just proves they're trying to shove marketing bullshit down peoples throats. It's not healthy for the industry and I don't want to support something that is so shady. If MQA actually had a good use, it might be worth it for some.

Suggestions Needed for DAW Controller + Interface
Derkoli replied to The Flying Sloth's topic in Audio
As for analogue mixers, I can vouch for the Mackie VLZ4 series. They do 4, 8, 12, 14, 16, 24 and 32 channel models. I currently own the 32 channel version, and it's excellent for my work as I also prefer controlling my DAW with something physical, rather than a button/slider on a screen. If you jump on either the 24 or 32 channel model, you get USB interfacing aswell. I would also take a look at the Presonus FaderPort 16. It's a great little unit. https://www.presonus.com/products/FaderPort-16
