Seriously:
1) I'm well-aware of upsampling/artifacting
2) I'm well-aware of DRC, volume scaling, bit depths
3) We do not use ffmpeg for all you describe, we use internal code too
4) I'm well-aware of the various codecs and their advantages/disadvantages
5) The GUI design and indeed AE design is a team effort and a team decision
Some of the points you raise are very good, although not new or original. They're already on my plan (along with many other's wishes, and my own and that of other devs).
I don't mean to diss your post at all - but you coulda just said "hey, can we get straight LPCM?". Which you can
I'll reiterate: there's a couple more features to be added before feature freeze, and multiple issues to fix for Frodo final. Once that rolls we'll be looking at some other things including AE/GUI/settings/setup changes and some other points you brought up. Already ahead of you mate.
All good, keep up the good work then I was being verbose purely to avoid a drawn-out to-and-fro.
(and aww.. my point of in-receiver processing causing noise was nicely esotheric, are you saying you've actually heard that one before?)
Nicely esoteric indeed - good circuit design mandates maximum shielding or separation of digital vs analog signals including grounding,RFI,etc. But the depth and placement of your curtains and carpets have a much greater effect lol. Don't forget PCM requires D/A processing too
And no worries - once we have the basics working for the vast majority that will hit this with Frodo there are many more audiophile (or even enthusiast) issues we'll address, including some of the points you raise. Rest assured I'm no less an enthusiast nor any less anal
