    If there was a perfect and invisible audio system would you still enjoy this hobby?

    Fascinating question. When I’m drooling over equipment or way down a rabbit hole, I can always hold up the lamp and tell myself it’s about music in the end. The hobby as a “worthy” outlet for the typically male lust for gear and stuff, because channelled into the enjoyment of the most immaterial...

    Beyond FLAC - AI big data compression?

    The research paper is titled "Language Modeling Is Compression," and if I understand the Ars article correctly it explores the idea that "the ability to compress data effectively is akin to a form of general intelligence... So theoretically, if a machine can compress this data extremely well, it...

    Cyrus PSX

    Not sure what you mean by single ended vs balanced in regards to a power supply, but I have very little technical understanding of this stuff. Not a good fit as in suboptimal, or sparks and smoke? Does this apply to the OP's combo PSX-Purifi as well?

    Cyrus PSX

    I have a PSX-R lying around and a unused TPA3255 amp, OP's question triggers me to try to pair them. The PSX-R has a 5-pin power connector, but I suspect it's a regular DIN 4-pin power connector like the PSX with an extra sensing pin. Would this work with something like this 4-Pin XLR Male to...

    Monitor Audio Platinum 3G

    Yeah, instead it's page after page of childish bickering with barely a mention of said speakers. ASR at its worst.

    BACCH4MAC Short Review / first impressions

    True. My point was that the tech is (partly) licensed for Windows development already. There's more in the uBACCH now available for Windows thread, don't want to hijack this thread.

    BACCH4MAC Short Review / first impressions

    I can understand that. What irks me is that the development of a fully functional Windows version has been excluded from the licensing deal with BACCHLabs. The only logic I can see in this is to protect their BACCH4Mac offering. So, it's not just not being able to serve the Windows market...

    Excellent CD Masters

    +1 Esp. for Jazz you can find a lot of info on different (re)mastering engineers. Some are widely considered consistently excellent (i.e. Hoffman, Yoshida). Discogs lists the different issues, often including info on the (re)mastering engineer.

    uBACCH now available for Windows

    I was told support intends to join the discussion here, but they're quite busy. That was almost 2 weeks ago, so I'll lift my self-imposed embargo and share the info I got from them. No news, but a confirmation of what we learned already. "...realistically we do not plan at this time to release...
