7/5/2023 0 Comments Band in a box review![]() ![]() I suspect improvements in the BIAB program using the Elastique algorithm have made this difference harder to detect, but that's just a guess. In the early days of RealTracks (2007), there were easily recognizable differences. The difference in quality between the audiophile and regular versions seems to be getting less over the years. WMA files in your RealTracks and it works fine.īe aware, the annual upgrade price for the audiophile version will be more.Īt this time, PG Music ships the audiophile version on a very nice external drive that uses USB 3.0. This scheme makes it possible to have a combination of. WAV files available, it uses those if there are none, it uses. The audiophile version runs slightly faster, which might not sound intuitive, but it does so because BIAB doesn't have to first uncompress the. WMA files (and you still have the complete set of. WAV files will take up about 11 times more space than the corresponding. WAV files of 44.1, 16-bit, or in other words CD quality. Some instruments (such as acoustic guitar, acoustic grand piano, and cymbals) show compression artifacts more than others and thus are particularly better sounding in the audiophile version. The compression is about 11 to 1, so they are the same smaller size of a 128 Kbps MP3 but sound better than that. The sound seems to me to be comparable to a 198 Kbps MP3. The specs on these are often 128 Kbps, some less so. ![]() I've used the audiophile version of BIAB for many years and highly recommend it with the following understanding:you will need good equipment, a good listening environment, and good ears to hear the differences. In other words, if you listen to MP3s in a car and you have long lost your high-frequency hearing like some musicians, you will not be able to notice any difference. ![]() This topic comes up frequently and you should be able to find plenty of opinion in posts within the last few years, and those opinions will vary. ![]()
