Means it was originally scanned and edited at 8k. Then they downconverted it to 1080 so they could put it on the disk.

Am i the only one that doesnt get where the sun is or how the hell the shadows got upwards?

They aren't equivalent to 4k but are scanned in 4k. They are analog so they should have as much resolution as the chemicals that react to light.

Well we are looking maybe 5ish years from anywhere close to adoption. By that time 8TB hard drives will be sold. Heck we have 5TB around the corner. At four times the total pixels from 1080 and the fact that compressed 1080 can be stored in 12GB i can see 4k movies being fit in dual layer Bluerays at 50gigs. Also…

It is actually 2160p, double 1080p.

There was no content for 1080 when the technology was still in its fetal stages. As soon as the ball starts rolling content will come.

Well i can't re-evaluate who i have as a mom so i guess we will have to play this game, she'll end up paying like always.

No seriously, if you let them on their phone they will be mindlessly glued to it.

I think the "FAIL" goes to you. He didn't "fail".

Well at least it was today. A few months back forgetting to close your italics would cause every comment beneath yours to lean over.

That's funny, headphones over $100 tend to be built a lot better and tend to have easy fixes for any of their problems. Like replacable cables and pads, costumer service and warrantys are also a lot better and when you break a headphone, you might just have to pay for shipping just to get a brand new one.

As an audio enthusiast(dont like the word audiophile) i CAN tell the difference between a properly encoded 320kbps MP3 and Flac even with bad gear. But it definitely isn't some huge difference and most audiophiles are completely happy with MP3 including me.

So is audiophile becoming the new black?

I kinda do this but not with weights, i have a keyboard(piano) in front of me so i practice arpeggios and chords with my left hand while i use my mouse with my right. I do it pretty much the entire time im on the computer except for when im typing so my left hand is quite a bit better at playing than my left.

They probably wont bypass the DAC but at least they will bypass the internal amp, the DAC's in phones aren't too bad but the amps are never any good.

Im not sure, but i think you are thinking about electrostats. Never heard of a planar speaker but i could be wrong.

Ya, i thought i edited that but i guess something didn't work.

That isn't a good reason, my 128kbps garage recorded material still sounds good and my 320 studio material sounds even better.

Quoted from DaveBSC on Head-fi "KGSSHV (about $2K), Stax SR-009 ($5K) and probably a maxxed out Empirical Overdrive ($8K)."

I said "listed frequency response tells close to none of the story"
