parang gusto ko na rin i-try ang dbpoweramp. nainggit ako sa dami ng mga CDs ninyo

malaking convenience ang dbpoweramp sa akin, Enigma pa lang 5 albums na, imagine search ko dati isa-isa mga album art niyan, rename pa tapos lagay pa sa folder, etc. Ngayon isang pindot na lang hehehe...

na-miss ko bigla ang CD Warehouse...

sir, pwede din ba feed sa dbpoweramp yung converted na na FLAC ... yun kasing na-rip ko from old CD's using EAC, totally walang data, and kahit re-name ko pa, it shows as track1, track2 ... sa foobar and other players

hindi ko pa na try sir eh, pero mamayang gabi subukan ko mag load ng flac then convert to flac at kung mag load mga tags.

UPDATE:

ayaw sir mag load, sa batch converter naman flac to mp3 niya convert. tapos yun mga tags hindi din nag lo-load. wait natin yun mga long time users baka may mali ako nagawa kaya ayaw gumana...

Gamit ko pa rin WD TV v1 player ko at ok pa rin, Fostex DAC > Cary preamp > Cary class D amp > OB15 ayos rin.

Musta sir Keema?

Di nag materialized ang usapan, ok pa rin naman dito. PM replied sir.

Kung more on movies, mas maganda pa rin AVR malinaw ang decoding ng audio maski 2.1 setup, isa complete inputs for digital music.

Oh yes brader! Mood setting music ko yan, others call it "tweak" music...

My favorite album is Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Le Roi! ("The King Is Dead, Long Live The King!")

audiojunkie · « **Reply #106 on:** Oct 16, 2014 at 06:00 PM »

Have one of these albums... Guess time to have a listen this weekend....

at_sunset_blvd · « **Reply #107 on:** Oct 16, 2014 at 07:42 PM »

hindi ba tayo naka OT dito, well anyway here's some of my ENIGMA collection. Been a FAN since college when their 1st album came out.

My favourite song was SEVEN LIVES from the same titled album SEVEN LIVES MANY FACES (I think that was Cretu's last masterpiece )

You're right Brother Jo, it "tweaks the mind" when these tunes start to beat

Ewan ko ba brader, baka it's the chanting or the beat or the melody... basta nakaka ano siya... ewan di ko ma explain.

Kayang kaya mo yan sir hehehe, IMHO madali lang mag setup ng digital as opposed to analog. Kaunting aral lang sa mga formats and data protocols, andiyan naman si Google at siyempre ang PinoyDVD!

Hunga naman sir Keema... mas simpli ang digitAL kaysa analOG... walang masyadong seremonyas sa playback.. Gaya ng linis ng karsyom at groove.. Kailangan lang maayos na DAC to maximize ang hi-res audio format.

PS
my lone piece of Enigma CD purchased 22years ago when I was working somewhere in Micronisia Island. From the jewel case it's my #40 when I used to tag them But now I already lost track for some were lost or went somewhere else.

Sorry for the OT ...

Yes sir, ok naman po ang internal dac nya. Sa internet radio ko lang naman sya gamit via shoutcast. With dta1,
Kahit 24/7 matipid sa electric bill.

Check mo muna sir kung compatible ipod/iphone mo sa purei20, yong isang ipod ko with ios7 ayaw magcharge habang nakadock sa pure.

Ah. I see sir. My ipod 4th gen plan ko since 30 pin connector lang pure i20.

Planning on starting a simple stereo setup (pure i20 + ipod + amp + speakers).

Thanks!
