When will Beanie Babies come back into fashion?

Perfect is infinitely costly. State-of-the-art gear ages rapidly; tomorrow, some new thing will be SOTA and your brag rights will dissolve into apologies. | No matter how much money you spend, hifi cannot reproduce your first music-accompanied pot high. | Before I am interested in a reviewer's upchuck on speaker virtue, I want to know his taste in music. | Lottery tickets are probably a better audiophile investment than expensive interconnect cables. | Before you jump onto the audiophile 'train,' be sure you know where you want to go, and when you should get off. That, or it's just an obsession with train rides. | You can have good, loud, and cheap. Pick any two.
As an engineering undergrad, I took two semesters of Electrical Measurements. A direct quote from the course professor: "If you cannot measure it, you cannot describe it."

The accuracy of digital to analog conversion can be quantified by measurements, as can the accuracy of audio signal amplification. After it is sent to the electromechanical transducer and released into the listening environment, it gets way more complicated...

Beelink miniS Win11 computer running Foobar2000 with USB output to Topping D10s (USB bridge) into a TOSlink splitter feeding two miniDSP 2x4HD units for speaker crossover and EQ. Linkwitz LX521 speakers modified by using Seas Excel W22 8" drivers and Linkwitz Orion bass module in lieu of U22 and Seas W26 woofers. System powered by a Nord 8 channel Hypex nCore (3 NC252MP modules, 1 NC122MP module) and Adcom GFA-535 amplifiers.

JDS Atom headphone amp fed from D10s analog outputs for either Sennheiser/Drop HD6XX or 7Hz Salnotes Zero:2 IEMs when at home. Hidizs S9 Pro DAC/amp with the Zero:2 IEM is used for travel with an Acer Win 11 laptop, Foobar2000 with MathAudio Headphone EQ and Goodhertz CanOpener VST for crossfeed for both home and travel use

déjà vu?!
