From testing just one of their samples. the 32-bit 176400 Hz FLAC files was certainly better quality than the 16-bit 44100 Hz WAV files, but that because the WAV file was damaged. The WAV file was clearly clipped.

That's what I meant about "snake oil". When it comes to "audiophile discussions" there have always been outlandish claims about audio quality that cannot be substantiated by either physics or ABX tests.

I ask for full 32 bits support. That's not going to happen. 32-bit (integer) offers no benefit over 24-bit integer for playback or recording, because even professional level hardware is not that good. Professional level A/D and D/A converters costing many thousands of dollars can achieve close to -...

From a quick Google search, it appears that current versions of Toast do not support Cue files directly (an...

Sound Activated Recording will record whenever the input signal is greater than the "activation level". If the background noise is greater than the activation level, then the recording will be continuous, in which case you need to raise the activation level so that recording is not activat...

I'm not sure what you are requesting. Audacity already supports 32 bit float format up to 384 kHz. Oddball sample rate like 176 kHz you can also be entered manually, though for best quality it would be recommended to use a sample rate that is supported by the sound card. Hope you to appreciate the i...
