WebGizmo BitRate Native or Low Res
« on: April 09, 2015, 10:00:40 am »
I heavily rely on WebGizmo playback at work and it seems WebGizmo is missing many basic functionality

There is no play next/prev option
There is no PlayDoctor option
There is no information of what bitrate is played via Gizmo? Is it Native or down converted to mp3?
The screen blanks out in IE and there is no way to get it back.

Are they any plans to update WebGizmo or its going to stay the same way?

I tried searching for answers but could not find anything regarding these issues. :(

I would appreciate if somebody can shed light on these issues
There are many questions asked in the past but nobody has responding

We don't have plans to work on WebGizmo at the moment.  Have you looked at other remote solutions?

Ok understood.
But does WebGizmo Play in Native bitrate or does it downconvert?

WebGizmo always converts. Browsers just don't have any broad media support that would make native playback viable at all.
But if you couldn't hear the difference, then its really nothing to worry about, is it? :)

Understand your point of view. But I can hear a difference when I listen via WebGizmo at work and at home on MC.

I have Oppo HA-1 and HA-2 with Oppo PM-3 HP that I can detect differences on HiRes tracks.

I've invested lot of money buying HiRes tracks and most of my listening is at work. So what's the point paying for HiRes Tracks when its going to be down-converted?

Can you suggested a solution to listen to Native Format remotely on PC using MC?

You could use MC on both sides.
