ABBA, seemed like the Swedish version off the Mamas and Papas crossed over with the Partridge Family. All Rap Music. Monotonous rhythm, they're not really singing just reciting, violent profane and ugly lyrics, degrading to women, glorifies toxic masculinity, played at 110 db at traffic...

Also own the V20 as my only phone. Have a battery charger, with the replacement batery always at the ready. Can't imagine "being down" b/c the phone is charging. Only thing is I just found the usb c slot will not send audio signal to my Moondrop Quarks DSP. I'll probably use a tablet with...

Sennheiser IE 800's, Moondrop Quarks DSP, and (on order) Truthear Crinacle Zero's. Think I will stop there. The more I reflect on it, the more convinced that $50 is the most anyone should need to pay to get state of the art IEM sound: They're minimum phase, the housing can be 3d printed from...

This is what happens when a designer decides to "voice" an amplifier in his garage late at night after a few beers.

I've already moved on. Two of my PC's have Windows 11, and two of my laptops have Windows 10 and are used only in certain limited circumstances. I'll just dispose of them sometime in a few years. Not learning Linux, though. I just refuse to learn another operating system. I'm tired of...

With eARC the tv will pass through the audio. Connect your Roku, NVidia Shield, ATV, Firestick et al to the TV, then connect the eARC port on the TV to the miniDSP. TV becomes the switcher. BTW, HDMI is limited to 8 channels in LPCM, but can pass as many bitstream channels as your ATMOS...

That's exactly the correct use case. The TV does the decoding/switching and passes LPCM via eARC to the miniDSP. If it's under $800, it a great fit for a whole lot of people. Needs to offer TRS balanced outs, and DLBC, however.

Looks good. Unfortunately does not appear to support DLBC.

Problem is, there are people who want to believe in this shite. They want to live in a world where magical thinking prevails. They absolutely want to live in what Carl Sagan called "the demon haunted world." So they hate people like Amir who demystify the entire process. These self-styled...

In economics we call that a proxy--a measure which while not completely conclusive is nonetheless highly likely to yield a correct assessment of the overall state of the system.

I have a regular original Chromecast, a Chromecast audio, and my NVidia shield has a built in Chromecast. Plus I have a Mele Quieter 3 which I control with a remote Logitech keyboard. I can't even conceive why I would ever need to buy another streamer, let alone pay thousands of dollars for...

It's a DAC, not a saddle.

Family comes first. Hope everything resolves well with your dad. Look forward to your contributions when you once again have some free time. Enjoy your time with your parents. Best wishes.

Saw the picture of the top of this thing, and thought I needed to adjust my glaucoma meds.

Have to wonder if the Beolab 90 is really the edge of the art design it's been reputed to be, given the disappointing measured performance of this speaker which costs a paltry $15k/pr.

Great price. Especially if you're doing a home theater and need surrounds or overheads or even a center you can turn on its side without screwing up its polar response.

I personally go the other way when I define "usability" of a component. I want Bauhaus simplicity and elegance. For me the fewer knobs and controls the better. That's why I love my Octo Research Dac 8 Pro which does so much while requiring so few controls to accomplish it.

I can't speak to what it's like to work for any of these companies, or their environmental footprint but I can talk about my experience with them. SVS Benchmark Purifi Aerial Acoustics VPI McIntosh Sennheiser I would like to include Kef because I think their speakers represent tremendous value...

There is a YouTube video on how to build out the NC400 amps from kits: It's a very straightforward project. Best of luck.

Don't see how the Scarlett or the TT will add to the processing overhead of the PC. CPU utilization varies, it's complicated b/c processes happen automatically in the background. Machine does not crap out on me if I keep its rendering at 23.96 fps which is the Native processing rate for...
