I don't think rock is supposed to sound like a lawnmower accompanied by maracas. I guess that's why we bother with all this gear.

This tracks.

Do the French have to put up with TicketMaster and the like?

They don't deserve your friendship then.

I'm glad someone was able to point out there were actually three black Queens of England!

People need to read more. History and science from times past is very educational. More music before I write an essay...

I have a life, I’m good

I use a screen share to my workstation so I can change settings in HQplayer. It's easier. I have a minimalist Nordic mind, and I still don't get the client software :-)

I’m using HQPlayer Client for exactly this use case. I don’t even remember putting in the IP, I guess it would take some time to configure it correctly again. :)
But, once set up, it works, at least as long as you don’t restart HQPlayer (Embedded, in my case), you’ll have to restart the Client then, too. :o) (On an iPad, at least.)

Be sure to listen to its built in MOSFET tubeless circuit. Might not be what your looking for, but it is what I end up using most of the time - though I have a DNA when I'm going for the tooby sound

IMO - there's nothing quite like a big boy tube amp with the right tubes. It's enough to put up with the expense / hassle.

@crenca Yes. I quite like the Mosfet solid state circuit, too. It was a deciding factor in getting rid of my BHA-1. When putting it up against the Bryston, the Lyr+ presents more detail, cleaner bass, and definitely more fun. In tube mode it's really great with the right tubes....and fun even with the wrong ones :-)

Potentially yes. I'm located in Canada though.

@Armaegis That's fine, CAN to US isn't too bad.

Can we get rid of the weird east vs west distinction and just seed them normally?

You read my mind. Hopefully the BOT didn't.

Well @Jinxy245 if you forget to turn on the firewall on your neuralink or even worse forget to update regularly all bets are off.

Six or seven posts in half an hour. As mentioned, most on old threads.

Has to have been a bot or a spammer. Or else... an advertiser: profile mentioned a website (I didn't look) and sig said AWS developer.

Has it/she been, ahem... terminated?

Edit: looks like it.

Welcome to the magic that your brain can do :)

The brain is the most under-rated part of any listener's equipment. The whole stereo thing is an illusion, which your brain is happy to augment for your pleasure. But...

I wonder if different wavelengths could be reflected in different ways, giving an illusion of soundstage? Just an idea. Scientists please tell.

I replaced my stereo system with a mono one and the soundstage is exactly the same size but with greater depth!

Or when there are too many devices connected to your network?

I don't need one but I want one. Stop atomic Bob.

Sold my MJ3 but have one on order. Missed it too much. No tube nervosa. Just good audio.

FWIW, I have been using the same tubes in my diy tube amp for past seven years, still going strong. OTOH, I have had to replace some components in that period on my s s equipment.

That's what I have been saying, but no one believes me.

Agreed. The current Lyr is a killer sounding amp and very respectable preamp

I hear Lyr3 as an amp that disciplines unruly headphones, which raises the question of why you want an unruly headphone in the first place. I wonder if people just don't see that as the most logical path to system synergy.

The truth is, you probably have a $2K dac at least! (probably more ;) )

I think so, too. I wish there was a simple D/S DAC with a chip that supports not getting in the way, together with a great “rest”, i.e. clock, USB interface, output stage, PSU, and whatever else I might have forgotten.

Holo could make such a DAC - a "Cyan" (i.e. decent USB, decent discreet output stage, decent power suply, etc.) with a good modern AKM for $1300, maybe less...too bad they probably won't

Dolby CP350 or more expensive variants for Dolby Cinema sound. Cinema generally doesn't give a shit about DACs other than "uncolored", but then everything has its own color.

apple dongle

No, doesn't exist. You pays your money and takes your choices.

Horrible but perhaps this should go in the dedicated thread. Don't think a profile post is the place for something that easily ignites a political discussion.

I don't look at it as a political issue. Just a sad chronology of bonehead events by people leading to this sort of mess.

The statistical fact is that uber driver is much more likely (several orders of magnitude) to die from a crazy driver wielding his deadly multi-ton weapon than any crazed over protective father. The father is likely to serve a small amount of time and lose his right to posses firearms...

It’s not as bad as Fall Out Boy.

Oh wait, it is

I only scan and read a few threads nowadays, is there some drama going on? I saw Marv's profile posts but didn't know where to look.

just the usual, my DAC is bigger than your DAC
