Main Disc. Thread - Objectives / Product Copy Updates / ZP Refresh

Of course. No digital codec could ever replace the true quality that comes from good ol’ analog. And when it comes to wired, we’re talking strict AUX - Lightning and USB-C does not count.

sure but is it true that flac is pretty much useless to upgrade to if you are using bluetooth earphones?

I wouldn’t say utterly useless, the quality will be significantly improved compared to MP3 audio, with or without Bluetooth headphones.

But if you’re looking for lossless audio specifically, then yes it’s useless.

unless you don’t have special headphones, an expensive sound card or an amplifier, it doesn’t make a sense to use .flac format.

I wouldn’t say that, it really depends on the person. I personally can tell a huge difference between FLAC audio and an MP3 audio file, even when listening through cheaper headphones.

But again, it depends on every person’s ear.

Eh. Yes, you’re going to lose sound fidelity over Bluetooth and yes, the best sound quality is over analog. However, you can definitely notice a difference in the sound quality between 192 mp3, 320 mp3 and 320 flac. Much clearer. It maxes out the bandwidth available to Bluetooth.

However, for the best sound quality, a wired connection remains king. We use reference monitors in the studio that aren’t even self-powered and use speaker wire. They run into a very expensive amplifier.

@SaintSovereign Should I not have Dolby Atmos enabled while running a sub?

If it’s the hardware Atmos implementation, you should be fine. If it’s an Atmos software / emulator, I’m not sure. It could interfere.

Do you reckon Asc Chamber will be updated today/this evening? @SaintSovereign

Just so happens that I’m able to put a title or two through Q before work starts back up on it. I should be able to get it out soon.

Are you planning to release a Flac, so we can experience it before ordering it as a custom? If so, emperor Flac would have my vote.

Also when we are able to order name embedded store titles, will we have the option to order in Flac too?

Ascension Chamber updated.

If I do, it’ll either be Ascension Chamber, or the free “Spread the Love” tentative title.

Hopefully it still doesn’t count towards the size limit of our stacks.

Prob a setting he forgot to tweak in the new Q automation.
