With AIMP, you can play 2-channel Sound HD with 4 speakers, as well as save on the hard disk in original format.

What is HD Sound? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/help/quest ... s/hd-sound

The phrase HD Sound is used to describe audio where we have taken specific steps in the distribution and transmission chains to maintain the quality and fidelity of the original source material. (If you have sufficient bandwidth available, your sound on Radio 3 should automatically default to HD). For online content this generally means three things:

The amount of bandwidth reduction has been kept to a minimum by using a high bitrate in the encoder
The encoding codec is of a high-quality music type
The amount of audio signal processing has been kept to a minimum (e.g. Radio 3 HD Sound uses the AAC-LC codec at 320kbs and has no audio signal processing applied)

Whilst all of our services are now available at the high-quality 320kbs AAC-LC encoding only Radio 3 currently has the signal processing bypassed and so is the only service to broadcast in HD Sound.

Euroclassic Notturno is a six-hour radio sequence of classical music recordings assembled by BBC Radio from material supplied by members of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and distributed, via the EBU's Euroradio satellite network, to a number of these broadcasters for use in their overnight classical-music schedules. The recordings used are not taken from commercially available CDs but come instead from earlier (usually live) radio broadcasts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euroclassic_Notturno

The service is streamed from Broadcasting House in London between 0.00 and 6.00 Central European Time seven days a week, though actual transmission times may be shifted locally – the BBC itself, for instance, broadcasts its own version (which goes out under the title Through the Night) between 0.30 and 6.30 on Mondays to Fridays, and from 1.00 till 7.00 on Saturdays and Sundays. BBC Radio 3's Through the Night was first broadcast on 5 May 1996 when 24-hour broadcasting was introduced on the station. The first presenter was Donald Macleod.

0.30–6.30 (Mon–Fri) 1.00–7.00 (Sat, Sun)
BBB 3 transmission is available in AIMP with 128 kbps mp3 https://stream.live.vc.bbcmedia.co.uk/bbc_radio_three

Muzyczna Noc Euroradia" to wyjątkowe pasmo na antenie Programu 2. Codziennie, od poniedziałku do piątku, prezentujemy nagrania proponowane przez radiofonie zrzeszone w Europejskiej Unii Nadawców (European Broadcasting Union, EBU).

Są to nagrania dokonane tak w radiowych studiach, jak i – najczęściej – podczas transmisji ważnych wydarzeń muzycznych, na przykład festiwalowych koncertów.
Muzyka "Nocy Euroradia" ma unikalny charakter: ze względu na dobór wykonawców i utworów (doskonale zróżnicowana mieszanka uznanych gwiazd i młodych artystów, ulubionych arcydzieł i diamentów, które długo leżały ukryte w skarbcach archiwów), jak i ze względu na to, że prezentowane utwory są bez wyjątku nagraniami radiowymi. To wykonania niedostępne na płytach kompaktowych ani w żadnej innej, poza radiową, formie. Możemy zatem poczuć ulotność i wyjątkowość chwili…

Match your speakers with furniture


four-channel sound can best be reproduced with 4 speakers that have coaxial elements such as these Norwegian SEAS - "THE ART OF SOUND PERFECTION" in Polish active studio monitors APS.


Since the 1943 introduction of the Altec Lansing Duplex 601 coaxial driver, recording studio monitors have often been coaxial loudspeaker designs


Tannoy has produced coaxial loudspeakers, for the hi fidelity home consumer market since the early 1950s. Tannoy Ltd is a British manufacturer of loudspeakers and public-address (PA) systems.

Now the American Fluid offers inexpensive monitors with coaxial elements


Orthoacoustic is also interesting

[BienSoundPC]

The basis for getting good sound to 4 speakers from PC is WASAPI



Windows Audio Session API – Very low-level API for rendering audio, render/capture audio streams, adjust volume etc

More about this is already on http://forum.aimp.com.pl/viewtopic.php? ... 374#p26700

At the AmberExpo stand, we presented BienSound with 3 different Gigabyte motherboards in a transparent and wooden desktop housing, and without. Farthest back in a version that can match the best Hi-Fi equipment in a wooden case. Per Dahlberg's artistic vision of BienSoundPC hangs on the wall.

In it we showed for the first time in Poland the motherboard G1.Sniper 5 with separate audio section and built-in Creative Sound Core3D ™ quad-core audio processor https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/G1 ... -rev-1x#ov



The BienSound PC artistic vision had a simple Gigabyte motherboard for AMD processors with a built-in graphics circuit, which could easily work in an exhibition open to the public



the artistic vision without a casing was created by Per Oscar Gustav Dahlberg http://www.dahlberg.pl/



and was inspired by Sara Aziewicz, who knows a lot about Russian icons.



She compared the components on the motherboard to apartment blocks.

PC with open structure is not limited to a gray box. HTPC as in the example above has been on the market for several years. It has been individually configured for Unitra https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unitra

Unitra EDWARD tube amplifier uses a Williamson Push-Pull Ultralinear class AB1 amplifier principle with the nominal power output of 2 x 25W (f = 1 kHz THD sine = 0.21%) . Frequency response is claimed from 10 Hz to ÷ 65kHz (Pwy = 5W sinus ± 3 dB/0dB for f = 1 kHz) for response 15 Hz ÷ 60kHz (Pwy = 25W sinus ± 3 dB/0dB for f = 1 kHz). It spots four line inputs and implements these tubes: 2 x GZ34S, 4 x, 2 x 6L6GC ECC99, 2 x ECC82 EM84.

It also worked smoothly with older computers




Next Reference PC 4 FM radio and NICAM audio was with WinFast 2000 XP


The tuner had the digital filters necessary for NICAM, which also ensured better music playback with FM radio

Near Instantaneous Companded Audio Multiplex (NICAM) is an early form of lossy compression for digital audio. It was originally developed in the early 1970s for point-to-point links within broadcasting networks.[1] In the 1980s, broadcasters began to use NICAM compression for transmissions of stereo TV sound to the public.

Alternative solution to Reference PC 4 FM radio for laptops



The Pinnacle PCTV Hybrid Stick Ultimate 330e tuner for connection via USB has a driver that makes it treated by the operating system as a sound card with the possibility of optimal setting for music playback

We did many tests with music sent on DAB +



Outdoors and indoors



We used BienSound PC Reference with Intel HD audio connected to a professional audio system for smaller scenes



but the tuner software was archaic and another one could not be used



The biggest advantage here is that it even works with a simple laptop and without internet access.



AIMP with Windows Audio Session API and oversampling 192 kHz/32 bit provides much better results



Radio from the stream already has also Sound HD



but Digital Audio Broadcasting probably will not have https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_A ... oadcasting

The term "DAB" most commonly refers both to a specific DAB standard using the MP2 audio codec, but can sometimes refer to a whole family of DAB-related standards, such as DAB+, DMB and DAB-IP.

WorldDAB, the organisation in charge of the DAB standards, announced DAB+, a major upgrade to the DAB standard in 2006, when the HE-AAC v2 audio codec[12] (also known as eAAC+) was adopted. AAC+ uses a modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT) algorithm.[9][10] The new standard, which is called DAB+, has also adopted the MPEG Surround audio format and stronger error correction coding in the form of Reed–Solomon coding. DAB+ has been standardised as European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) TS 102 563.

As DAB is not forward compatible with DAB+, older DAB receivers cannot receive DAB+ broadcasts. However, DAB receivers that will be able to receive the new DAB+ standard via a firmware upgrade went on sale in July 2007. If a receiver is DAB+ compatible, there will be a sign on the product packaging.

DAB+ broadcasts have launched in several countries like Australia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Hong Kong (now terminated), Italy, Malta, Norway, Poland, Switzerland, Belgium (October 2017),[13] the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Malta was the first country to launch DAB+ in Europe on October 2008. Several other countries are also expected to launch DAB+ broadcasts over the next few years, such as Austria, Hungary, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia. South Africa began a DAB+ technical pilot in November 2014 on channel 13F in Band 3. If DAB+ stations launch in established DAB countries, they can transmit alongside existing DAB stations that use the older MPEG-1 Audio Layer II audio format, and most existing DAB stations are expected to continue broadcasting until the vast majority of receivers support DAB+.[14]

Ofcom in the UK published a consultation for a new national multiplex containing a mix of DAB and DAB+ services, with the intention of moving all services to DAB+ in the long term.[15] In February 2016, the new national network Sound Digital launched with three DAB+ stations.[16]
