    Solved! What sampling frequency does an iPhone output to a car stereo via USB?

    I'm about to buy a new car, BMW/Mark Levinson or Audi/Bang & Olufsen. I'm interested in the simplest, best-sounding solution -- not an external DAC. I'm asking this question because I'm trying to decide it it's worth it to stream in HD, to get 16 bit /44.1 KHz or even 24 bit/96 kHz. No one...

    Solved! What sampling frequency does an iPhone output to a car stereo via USB?

    If it "depends on the stereo" and the limitation would not come from the output of the phone, what would an external DAC do?

    Solved! What sampling frequency does an iPhone output to a car stereo via USB?

    "High-Resolution Audio files have a sampling frequency of 24 bit/96 kHz, which is significantly higher than the 16 bit /44.1 KHz sampling frequency of CDs." -- the interweb Tidal offers streaming at 24/96...but is it worth it? Will a new iPhone output that?

    Bought a Macbook Pro -- how to transfer USB files?

    This thing has only USB C...my bookmarks, photos, etc., are on USB 3.0 stick. Short of putting all my images in the cloud, which I don't want to do, how do I transfer the files to new computer? Is there a USB 3.0 to USB C connector? I looked but didn't find one. Update: I think this is what I...

    13" screen...but a different size 13" screen

    That seems like a nightmare of confusion and crashes. First of all, you'd have to tell the system to boot using Windows and not Mac OS...right there I'm done. Too much trouble and opportunity for trouble. Thanks for the suggestion, though. I didn't know that was possible.

    13" screen...but a different size 13" screen

    Oh, okay. Well, I can return it. I just prefer Windows OS to Mac.

    13" screen...but a different size 13" screen

    I'm replacing a Macbook Air with a Dell XPS 13. Both have 13" screens. As I have them side-by-side I realize the Mac measures 7"x11" while the Dell is 6.5"x11.5". (Yes, they are both 13" diagonal, I know.) The point is, I realize I prefer the taller screen of the Mac. More often I'm scrolling...

    Razer Stealth: 2560x1440 on a 12.5" monitor?

    Wouldn't everything work better with a 1920x1080 resolution on a 12.5" screen? What is the purpose of 2560x1440?

    Razer Stealth: 2560x1440 on a 12.5" monitor?

    On the Razer Stealth, I'm confused about the 2560x1440 resolution on a small 12.5" screen -- using native resolution, wouldn't that make everything very small on the screen? One must then use Windows scaling, which is awful.
