The files sold are often called “studio masters,” because they are the format that is used in the studio for the actual recording process. For new recordings, this is easy, because they are now commonly recorded in 24/96 format. But the growth in this sector has led to many pop, rock, and jazz albums being released in these formats. Initially, classical music was the first genre to offer such files, as many classical labels were already recording in high-resolution for SACDs (super-audio CDs) and and DVD-Audio discs, and needed to simply convert their existing files to the appropriate formats.
The market for high-resolution audio files is clearly one for audiophiles but, while a niche within a niche, it is growing, and more and more labels and websites are selling files in these formats. My receiver is a SONY STR-DN1040 AV-receiver.How does this translate into file size? As an example, a 9-minute and 25-second live recording from the band Phish weighs in at 18.4MB for a 256-kbps MP3 file, 67MB for a CD-quality FLAC file, and 126.2MB for a 24/96 FLAC file. I am running the currently latest macOS, Mojave 10.14.1. In the Output tab of Sound settings, the port is also shown as DisplayPort, no other options availableĪlso a bit strange, in the Sound Effects tab of the Sound settings, I can choose EPSON PJ for Play sound effects through, but Output volume is disabled. Strangely, the Audio MDID Setup app identifies my audio as DisplayPort, even though it should be HDMI. I can choose 5.1 Surround as speaker configuration, but when I test that setup, sound is only output through the two front stereo speakers. I have tried using the Audio MIDI Setup app to configure the audio. However, the sound is only 2 channel stereo. When I connect my Mac mini to the receiver, I get video to the projector and sound to the speakers. I have confirmed that this is possible using alternative hardware (e.g. I have a receiver that is capable of transmitting 5.1 surround sound to my speakers, and HDMI video to my projector.
