Somebody had to do it I suppose... :)

I am looking for a support like a book because I love reading that when I am on the move and I don't have access to a computer all the time.

I tried to find a book with a search engine but I don't know the exact terms I should use to get what I want. I always end up with audiobooks about anything which is not what I am looking for obviously.

The rare things I found are books like that Here on Amazon and that's not what I am looking for as I mentioned in my original message.

That's probably not the right subreddit to ask. A moderator can delete it, I'll try to find reviews of books somewhere else.

That is very true. When I think of audiophiles, I think of people who think cables sound better one way around than the other, people that ignore scientific tests and argue that null tests can't trump human ears (which is essentially saying that 1 minus 1 does not give you 0). Other people think that audiophiles are people that really care about audio, and in the mix people get very confused about what is true and what is not.

There is a LOT of misinformation going around about audio on the internet, specifically digital audio. A lot of it is to sell equipment/software that is 'superior', a lot of it is people believing and repeating what they're heard from companies trying to sell a product. A lot of companies willingly promote these ideas, a lot of them don't fight back against them cause it might damage their marketing.

If you really want to understand audio and cut through the BS, check out a book called The Audio Expert: Everything You Need to Know About Audio by Ethan Winer. He debunks a lot of hard held beliefs from certain 'audiophiles' with scientific tests. Well worth the read if you want to understand what matters in audio, and what doesn't.

You're gonna have to deal with teensy bit of math regardless (sorry), but here's one I've personally really enjoyed:

There's another really good one that I can't remember off the top of my head. I'll respond later when I have the chance to look it up.

edit: Also, Simon Cann writes great books on synthesis!
