FoxSAT 2 years on..
I have only now tried out the Music part of the facilities of the Foxsat..
With a Brithday Present of a low quality laptop.. I inserted the 'Hooked On' CDs into the Lappie and transformed them to MP3..Storage Size not being critical i decided to have the top quality of 256k MP3. It is these MP3s that i have stored on the hard drive of the Humax.. I am absolutely delighted with the Virtual JukeBox that I now have for Free..but equally now puzzled somewhat,, Yonks ago..I made a note in Notepad ..which has now come to light..that .. the gist of the 'Musing' in these Forums by Someone...Sometime.. [Sounds like Casablanca].. ![]() They said .."Does my memory fail or did 'Digital Radio"promise "CD quality audio"over the air waves? I guess that..give or take.. would be around ??1411??kbps?" I think that I got the figureswrong BUT.. I now see that Conventional wisdom seems to say that CD quality is 44.1k.. Hence a simple question..Does the Fox Sat Audio system enable my enjoyment of the high figure encoding that i have in all ignorance used or would 44k or even less be quite OK Please? At my age I guess I cannot hear above 8K or so but the Bass sounds terrific..in the Panny Home Cinema. |

I think you are mixing up frequency response measured in kHz and bit rate measured in kpbs.

256k mp3 is fairly close to CD quality, but is inferior.
CD quality is 44.1khz * 16 bits = 705.6 kbps. CDs are not compressed, but the signal can be compressed without loss of quality |
