Is good audio even possible?

by tzythatswhy

Hi,

I tried a lot of services in the last days and all of them have 128 kbp/s aac audio tracks that sound like 64 kbp/s.

Is this just common? or is good audio possible? what's your experience?

thanks in advance

Depends on the channel providers as I'd say the best audio you'll get is the ones that are encoded from boxes/cards (I dunno if that still happens) but most I know are scripts that pull a link from an online streaming service from Now TV for example here in the UK or if no script, just a screen record of a now TV service.

Every steam is different. Changes frequently too. That said, I've never heard solid crisp audio in iptv.

Depends on the soucre if it's getting capped from a box you can get upto 320kbps if it's off n0w TV or the likes best is around 64kbps

Your best hope is decent quality sound, firstly, most streams do not have it, secondly the hardware, in my opinion, is not of the quality, to deliver top notch audio.

And most times decent quality audio is good enough. Say thanks to the MP3 generation.

As others have said, you likely won't find what you're looking for in live iptv as it's always going to be compressed for obvious reasons

That said, you can get fantastic audio out of vod and plex shares.

As an audiophile myself, I only use iptv for sports and news where normal audio should suffice.

For everything else (movies and tv serious) I use a plex share that provides me with much better audio, including even Dolby atmos support! For like a buck a week, you can't go wrong.

It might be different from what you've asked, buddy could you kindly tell me what's the best service you've used till now (as you've mentioned that you've experienced a large spectrum of services).

PS: If it's against the rules of this sub then you can dm me. Thank you!
