Audiophile and Bluetooth is a contradiction in terms.

Audiophile and Bluetooth is a contradiction in terms.
- bitcharmer 6y agoYes, that's the first thing that struck me in their comment. It just doesn't sound genuine.
- NationalPark 6y agoAh you got me, I'm a paid Apple shill, here to spread lies. When I woke up this morning, all I could think of was fooling hackernews user bitcharmer, but it seems I have failed, probably due to your exceptional intellect and commitment to talking about products you hate. Could it possibly be that I'm actually just a rich guy who owns both fancy audiophile equipment and fancy Apple products, and happens to have his own opinions about them? Is such a thing even legal?
- bitcharmer 6y agoWhy the snark? We're just calling out the obvious inconsistency.
- NationalPark 6y agoYou called me ingenuine after you misread my comment and assumed I didn't understand the fidelity implications of audio over bluetooth. In fact, there is no inconsistency, I simply prefer convenience to marginal quality improvements. (Actually, I prefer live performances to chasing after audio quality, which I think is really more of a gear-geek hobby than a musical one)
- bhandziuk 6y agoSpending money on "fancy audiophile stuff" isn't necessarily the same as being an audiophile.
- jordache 6y ago>Audiophile and Bluetooth is a contradiction in terms. Not true. Yes, bluetooth compression puts a ceiling on audio quality. However, the majority of sound output devices are so crappy that they don't even exercise the full bluetooh potential. So if you couple quality sound output system with a bluetooh source, they can still sound much better than bluetooth + crappy headphone + crappy speakers.
