[quote user="Puncher"] [quote user="Dude1"] Hi Trip, I know what you are saying and it's pure arrogance. I do know what I'm saying - I have some contacts directly into Struer. The sales figures directly supports my argument. Could it be true? You should know, apparently you know nearly everything. [/quote] I'm sure everyone

I found the following which might help: http://www.mediacodec.org/

[quote user="Craig"] Just checked and the bitrate is between 265 and 275 kbps, the file are ".m4a" Craig [/quote] Super, so it's at least ordinary mp4 files. It seems there's two choices left: a) check to see if you can get Beoplayer to read the files, if you change the extension to ".mp4" instead of the "

[quote user="Craig"] WMP 11 & 12 will play back the files no problem at all. Not sure if they are lossless or not though. Craig [/quote] If you check the bit-rate, it would normally hit between 600 and 1000kbps if its lossless. 320 or lower, and it's lossy. What about the suffix of the actual files? Is it ".m4a" or "

In general, I really don't care where my electronics are made. I am mostly wary of furniture made in the far east because of the chemicals used, and my reactions to chemicals is also the reason my long-time gf isn't using Macs anymore. I react very strongly to the plastic and rubber used on newer Macs (be they portable or stationary). When I

I agree. I think that the BS8 isn't simple enough design wise when you plug an iPad/iPod/iPhone into it. And no matter which iThing you plug into it, it looks proportionally all wrong. Add to that, the functionality of the thing. As far as I know, the speakers aren't able to disconnect for imaging purposes. So what you get is a lowly boombox

[quote user="Karel Uyttendaele"] It could be that the WMA file contains some kind of Digital Rights Management... A lot of devices can't play DRM "infected" files... [/quote] But wouldn't that make it not even run the first ten seconds? I can't remember anything with DRM doing that. To me it sounds more like the DAC or
