I remember way back when Steve brown won the nationals every year for sound quality with his first car. A 1988 red acura legend 4 door I believe. All alpine even then. UNBELIEVABLE CAR AND INSTALL. Everything looked completely factory and was hidden behind factory looking access panels and just perfect. That my friends is what's missing from today's car audio scene.

It will be very exciting times when they are able to release systems that us mere mortals can afford. There currently doesn't appear to be any other manufacturers that are driving any significant competition in this portion of the market to help drive the costs down. The transition to ultra high res media itself will also be another costly endeavor. Outside of any hi-res streaming services you may use, you will need to purchase and develop a new hi-res library in order to play this system to its rated potential...

@Real-Americans-For-Trump-2024 2 жыл бұрын

So $37000 for components, plus at least a $40000 custom install that includes taking and changing the interior to get the components to sound they way they are meant to sound (in a car). Only the rich will be able to enjoy its full potential, while us poor folk can only dream. I remember back when I was able to have Alpines first set of the F1 Status SPXZ18 3 way components running with my two McIntosh amplifiers. Sounded amazing. But hell, I’d have to sell my soul to afford this.

He missed the most important use in the military for an accurate system clock. GPS. Clock accuracy is what makes the difference between 6 meter and 1 meter accuracy. Bonus factoid: GPS satellites need to run at a different clock speed, because they are effected less by the earth's gravity, and gravity effects time. Without this tweak, GPS satellites would be extremely inaccurate. (Thanks Einstein)

When he started talking about data speed and file sizes, the pc nerd kicked in. Their data rate comes out to 3.125 MB/s, so modern storage is certainly ready for that. We have PCIE Gen 4 storage capable of transferring enough data, to play over 1,900 of his songs, simultaneously. Now some of you folks with 3,000 plus uncompressed songs, are going to want to look into multi-drive SSD solutions to hold all of that data, to keep up with the future of uncompressed music. Imagine how long it'd take to transfer 10 TB of music, onto spinning rust storage. LOL

@thethoughtmaster 2 жыл бұрын

All that matters is the frequency range it is recorded and the frequency response of your amplifier and the resonance your speakers can vibrate at with no reverb. Clock frequency is only important when processing sounds to synthesise them or create them, it's not needed in car audio except when separating frequencies. Who needs CD or mp3 wav when car stereo's have small amps that need booster amps, why not buy a audio laptop and a bluetooth amp and save cash. I have a amp the has greater bandwidth than yours and speakers that are 38khz, I don't need any headunit or anything between.

Most studios record at 96/24. Very occasionally they record at 192/24. But, no studio is recording above that. The return is not worth the storage requirements. Also, none of the major interfaces support anything over 192/24. It's just pointless. But, it's cool that this hardware supports it. I guess that's what F1 Status is all about. The extremes.

@ASSOpid 2 жыл бұрын

They don't record at that level because it's pointless. No one can tell the difference. Anything above 96/24 and its a placebo effect. Just like these F1 systems. There cool but kind of pointless. The average person listening to it won't be able to tell the difference.

My sound card in my computer can do 256k at 32 bit. Best audio I can find is 96k at 24bit. So where and how to obtain better is my issue. But you can hear the difference especially at louder levels.
