I'm not understating when I say DANGER, as many readers will have speakers much more expensive than my Epos Epic 2's:
I've noticed when playing some 96/24 (and this could apply to any resolution).. With vinyl as the source, my woofers would oscillate at very low Hz with no exaggeration of 1/2" of excursion back and forth!!!
I believe this is due to rumble or other artifacts inherent in the vinyl source... Usually a pre-amp with systems setup for vinyl will filter this out... But when ripped to digital
Form, my DAC (which is no slouch).. Did NOT filter out this rumble (best description I can think of)...
It's also INAUDIBLE! so... Many people may damage their speakers without realizing it before it's too late! I only noticed it because I was next to the speaker and just happen to be watching it's response when playing the vinyl track (in now digital form through my DAC without a "rumble filter" normally catching this with vinyl setups).
Even if this suggestion saves one pair of speakers, it is worth the post!
Note: my speakers were not damaged, but intuition and logic tells me if this were to go unnoticed over time, my woofers would be toast!
NOTE: this also only applies to amateur recordings... I seriously doubt this issue exists with professionally recorded digital files from vinyl sources.
