Audio Hardware / Headphone amp?
Last post by modulusshift -I have until recently been using my AV receiver as the amp between the above, which is a Sony STRDH790, and has a 1/4” jack on the front. The CD player sounds great through my speakers hooked up to that receiver, but I also like to listen via headphones. I was wondering if I could see any benefit from a headphone amp in that case, and upon research heard mention of “high output impedance”, caused by the headphone output on my receiver basically just being some resistors slapped onto the speaker amp to get the power levels right. Combined with my 50ohm headphones, I read this could lead to overemphasized bass (which does seem accurate, it’s fatiguing amounts of bass with some sources and I can’t EQ the receiver in headphone mode I don’t think), and that I should either use higher impedance headphones, like 500-600ohm, or use a different amp.
Is this scientifically supported so far? If so, what’s a reasonable and cost effective way to connect my headphones to this CD player? I’ll be on the lookout for a CD player with a built-in headphone output at the local thrift stores, I suppose, but I do quite like this one, it can play my burned CD-Rs no problem

Last post by Terence -I use this: $info(bitspersample)
%__bitspersample% seems to work too.
For example it displays 16 for flac files with 16 bits per sample, but it doesn't display anything for mp3 or aac files (%__bitspersample% returns question marks for mp3 and aac files).
There is more information in the Title Formatting Reference.

Last post by mycroft -But I used mpv without any special setup, and first time there was not enough buffering but next time it managed to buffer something more. So as Gus. pointed out its all about buffer length (from network point of view not DAC one).

Last post by Case -I'm pretty sure Wine doesn't handle it and Wine makes a poor component testing platform either way.
