What will the next breakthrough in Audio be?

[billshurv]

soon they should come from outside your head.

Reversing "irreversible" hearing loss.

Reversing "irreversible" hearing loss.

Yes, put me down for this. I could use a hearing tune up.

 

[diyaudnut]

How about songs that are recorded well and available for streaming at great quality

 

[diyaudnut]

how about a way of bypassing the questionable bio microphone transducer on either side of our brain and feeding music directly to the brain? But will need to build a time machine first, for that one.

4. Direct sound-brain interface. Imagine the soundstage!

Previous buzzwords are inadequate! Imagine the soundsphere!

Well recorded is available, streaming is available, just not necessarily in the genre you might want. I personally do not like streaming as I like to own my music rather than support DRM with my listening but YMMV.

streaming server^ see post #3

Plex Media Server https://plex.tv/
& there are others
I connected an optical DAC to my TV or HDMI monitor screen and installed the app on a smart TV stick / wi-fi

Feedback, it is realized, is a good thing

Yeah, those too

Actually, we're right there. No?

Oh, but look how far we've already come!

Hmmm, is bacon from flying pigs better than their non-flying cousins? If so I'm all for it.

OTOH, given the sound bees make when they fly I imagine pigs wings would make a really annoying racket.

Taste.. Good question... I wonder what you need to bring down a big high speed porker?!!

I personally do not like streaming as I like to own my music

About the time the record companies started suing people, I decided that if the music isn't available on original media second-hand, I don't need it because I don't want to support that behavior. Unfortunately this doesn't support the artists either, AFAIK. Most of the music I like is >30-50 years old so hopefully the artist made their money long ago. I do make occasional exceptions to my "buy used" policy but I can't remember the last one. Maybe "Avishai Cohen, As Is...Live at the Blue Note" or the Jackson Browne DVD I bought for one song

The biggest breakthrough would be telling the truth. People and equipement.

 

[Max Headroom]

Multichannel streaming so you can do your own mixes on the fly would be cool.

Dan.

 

[nigel pearson]

I often thought that Dan. I was told the Beatles as is not too keen. Just to have the vocals would be something. With Michael Gerzon recordings it is possible. That was the whole point. It's not like redoing the music. More like refocusing. Michael was not interesting in making a sound. More like capturing one whilst knowing we all have tastes, albeit it wrong sometimes.

Been done. Recent Dylan set 'the cutting edge' gives you the 4 tracks so you can re-mix 'like a rolling stone'. Unlikely to catch on sadly.
