audio

If you'll recall a few months back, I was bitching that my Samsung 5.1 receiver couldn't get SACD through my PS3. The problem was that PS3 could only send the sound through HDMI because there wasn't enough bandwidth for SACD through optical. My receiver system, like any other that isn't brand...

Alright, so I have my PS3 connected to my TV through HDMI and my surround system via optical. For blu-ray and gaming it's great. I get high quality surround sound and many games use this perfectly(The Darkness, Rainbow 6, Elder Scrolls). So anyway, I decided I wanted to try out a Super Audio CD...

So I just ordered my first now that I've got a surround sound system. I got a Miles Davis CD if anyone was curious. Firmware update this week is going to include upscaling CD playback, so I'll be able to comment the difference between a SACD and a upscaled CD. Anyone tried out a SACD yet?

That comic by prothball reminded me of this. Racial Language beware! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2nTbqbtGug The guy also has a bunch of other funny ones.

Anything like fraps out there that records audio off whatever's playing on my speakers but doesn't require it to be a full screen program like if I wanted to just record something off a webpage or from a popup real player that won't let me download the song?
