Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion What's New At Axiom Naming the Axiom Wireless Speaker

My take on the Axiom computer speaker and lack of high res audio.

1. For the price that you are paying, getting 16/48 is great. I still am on the fence for 24/196 and if with blind sound testing, you will be able to hear a difference.
2. Take a look at the reference DAC market. There are some DAC's out there that cost upwards of $2000+ for just a DAC. If you are thinking that you want that 24/196 sound, then you are also going to be concerned about RF, jitter, aperture error, noise, not to mention power shielding between the digital/Analog amplifiers so that errors in sound are not induced. I am sure that to get the best sound out of for 24/192 you would be dealing with a much higher end DAC amp combination that is being offered here.
3. It's for a computer to give you better sound. It's not like they are offering this with the M60-M100 speaker line-up.
