- ...currently no volume control for A2DP bluetooth from the PB in beta OS 2.0
My BB Torch can... my iPod 4 32G can... broadcasting to the same piece of gear. PB can't currently.
Better be there in the full OS2 release... I'm counting on it.
Regards,01-17-12 11:14 PMLike 0 - I use .wav files as standard in all my devices -Storm 1, Playbook, portable hard drive to plug into any PC via USB. I have used these all these as a source for my DJing activities and the sound quality is awesome. I will not use MP3s if I can help it. Yes, .wav files are ten times the size but with memory storage cheaper by the day who cares, sound quality is far more important, especially when played at high volume over a good hifi system.O-Cilfa likes this.01-18-12 03:40 AMLike 1

- My PB is playin great on Denon Receiver attached with German Teufel 5.1 Soundsystem.
On the go i'm using my torch together with Philips SHB-9001 Bluetooth headphones. (A2DP)
Looking forward to A2DP-support for the PB, paired with FLAC support for maximum audio enjoyment.01-18-12 05:42 AMLike 0 - This is awesome! I hadn't thought of plugging into my Denon - I have plugged into the hdmi on the Sony tv which works great.01-18-12 07:27 AMLike 0
- My Apple loving friend was just telling me he read a technical paper that discussed how 128kbps AAC was identical to .wav. He was skeptical but could not hear a difference between the two over Grado SR-80's. I love MP3's for size and convenience, but hate them for sound quality.
Can anyone else attest to that Apple claim that has tried it with better headphones?01-18-12 12:16 PMLike 0 - I use .wav files as standard in all my devices -Storm 1, Playbook, portable hard drive to plug into any PC via USB.

128k should be discernible from any lossless codec.
Arguably though, 90% of music over 200k can get kind of transparent after that.
It can also depend on the listener
Hearing sensitivity
Focus on the music
Sound System01-18-12 01:08 PMLike 0 - I pass the audio from my HDTV to my receiver when my PB is connected to the TV. That's actually my fourth option re: music -- I can also BT stream music from the 32GB SD card on my 9810, use the iPod classic sitting on a DLO dock connected to the TV and receiver, or use the DLNA on my Bluray. The PB gives the best visual, although it's the clumsiest option in terms of mobility and remote control.01-18-12 02:14 PMLike 0
- If AAC is lossy, I don't see how the claim can be "identical to .wav". I can normally tell the difference with MP3's encoded at 320kbps. The dynamic range just isn't there. The cymbals don't sound natural or...well most of the spectrum doesn't sound natural. I listen through a variety of ear buds/headphones $20-$350 and on Definitive Technology BP2002's and a Yamaha receiver. Decent stuff but certainly not high-end. I call it affordable high-end.01-18-12 02:47 PMLike 0

I'm sure there are audiophile's that can pick up the very subtle differences between high bit rate encoded AAC/MP3 files vs the original source via blind ABX testing. I'm not one of those, I can assure you that.
I use EAC ripped, LAME encoded MP3's for all my digital audio as I can't tell the difference on my equipment between the MP3 and the FLAC source.

FLAC support on the PB would be a nice thing to have for those that want lossless audio "on the go".Omahahaha likes this.01-18-12 04:57 PMLike 1 -
- Just don't knock your Playbook off whatever its resting on while the cable is plugged in. I did that and now my HDMI port is barely functional. Basically not functional. So pissed!
Since we are on the subject of using the Playbook as a media storage device for high quality needs, when do car stereos get HDMI ports...? =D
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com01-19-12 12:31 AMLike 0 - Definitely nice speakers for a tablet, but being a reluctant audiophole, until Flac support and an equalizer app, I don't do music and definitely don't do mp3s on mine.01-19-12 01:26 AMLike 0
