Just for experiment sake, if you can try listening to different source on any (even entry level) speakers, instead of headphones. I think you might feel the quality difference. And I meant, that even basic CD Flacs/WMA (of my own CDs) trumps Tidal HI-Def/Masters streaming service.

What is your listening setup? I could make out a difference even with Tidal Hifi (which easily gets trumped by CD Flacs/WMA)

I have the same problem that needs a solution - following this thread !

Absolutely agree. It is the pick of the cherry in all of these pandemic releases. The other being Zack Snyder's movie. Sample the below :

Calorie restricted diet+ Exercise is what I would recommend. Walking is easier if you are just starting out on fitness. Aim for a minimum of 20-30 mins and build up your pace to a fat burning 4.5-5 Kmph. Cycling has the tangible benefit of breaking into 2-3 short (20-30 secs) sprints per...

Is there a way to know which ports & slots are free on the Laptop? for ex. the HP laptop i mentioned has an Nvme SSD, but how to know if there is a spare SATA slot for upgrading an SSD later? (w/o opening up the laptop obviously)

Mi store also has HDFC Offer (5K off) from today

https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B08XY3QXY5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 , 256Gb Nvme against the 512 that you require. But ticks off all other reqts.+ this is one of those (rare?) models that doesn't have a soldered-on RAM and uses two sticks, for dual channel. Also, the...

Not sure whether this will even be available in India. Amazon HD is still not. @y2s : I have a Win 10 HTPC with iTunes, Marantz AVR, Sony X90H, OP7 & iPhone 8 . Which (if any) of these devices could I use to play Apple Music HIfi ?

@raksrules "Pawn Stars" & "Storage wars" on History TV18. Most shows on Travel XP HD.

If you wish to buy OLED and also concerned about warranties- then the ONLY time to buy is during Diwali when LG offers a 5-year warranty and also the cheapest rates. They are one of the better brands when it comes to honoring warranties.

Probably bcoz the 10th Gen CPU is not much of a jump, but the IGP is a BIG downgrade.

Mac Mini M1 is rated 150W Max Power, Samsung at 25W, add another 10W for the Router. So basically, the lowest rated 600VA APC will comfortably do the trick. Or if you wish to get the best protection, go for an Online UPS- but they are expensive & noisy as hell.

^ Thanks I have gone through that ..

Okay, i read up on this Chroma thing a bit.. It seems Movies & Video today are in 4:2:0. 4:4:4 is really required for achieving Text clarity on PC. The PC/Game/Graphics mode on the TV , will always force 4:4:4 if using TV as PC Monitor. So, i am okay with setting it to 4:2:0 with 10-Bit ( or...

@Chaos : 1.I am not aiming to game on this NUC.. So anything >60Hz is not required. My use case is be to able to play the 4K UHD rips @23.976 fps at HDR10, 10-bit color depth, with 4.4.4 chroma. (ideally even 4:2:0) Right now, to be able to do that I have a workaround of manually dropping the...

Oh yes, i have done that..

on #2 : Dont get me wrong : the TV will display 8-bit just fine on 4k 60Hz, but you will be missing out on the 10-bit color spectrum, thats all. The image is noticeably more vivid in 10-bit. You can download any recent movie- The Martian for eg, and can play around

There has been just 2 freaking issues I have had with my NUC. 1. If i use the Wifi , then my BT & also 2.4Ghz Mouse lags like hell. Initially I thought that it was the NVme SSD which was being thrashed while downloading torrents, that resulted in the system slowdown. But once I connected...

@Chaos : any idea what should be a safe operating temp for this .. ? My Nuc 8i3 gets to almost 75-80C (ambient: 20C) during 4K rips playback. Its tucked into a media cabinet though.. @msankadi : Bleddy Appario Retail selling it for 4K less than when I bought it last month !
