I need to order 1 (or perhaps 8 ;)) extra sets before I start mangling but your right, some modding is the prescription

You could also try putting some masking tape over some holes on the stock Atrium mesh. Won't be perfect but might give you an idea of what you'd want to do and it wouldn't be permanent

I cut a small hole in the center of the solid mesh and I've enjoyed it. I definitely liked it more than the solid mesh with no hole.

In no small part to dissident social phychs like Jordan Peterson ( love them or hate them). IQ is very predictive, that's just a reality

It’s “the return of the repressed.”

I think algebra is the least of children's problems today.

On the dl, most are rocking FMC to their streamers. Outside of that some are modding a few “vintage” fpga dacs from 2011

Happy to see you back!!

I can wait to have our 1:1 shirtless videos @crenca with other real men on the forums.

I pinged him in the loaner thread, too. radio silence. I will say, the M6 Ultra is dead silent into Andro. Still haven't put more than 12-15 hours on it so withholding long form impressions for now, BUT, I'm glad I picked it up regardless of software dumb shit; hot take is a little lumpy in the upper bass, but great treble resolve and micro dynamics/dynamic shading.

I have the loaner and I'm to write the 'intro' post. I wanted to be sure before I reported it. Yea, has more bass oomph (though still AKMish but not as bad) than my pre AKM fire M6 Pro...

@crenca So far Roon still broken, no update from software team on this.

@yotacowboy Sorry, I didn't get notification for your post tagging me in the loaner thread, I guess because you did it as edit?

That said, I might set up a twitter account now that Big Woke is reigned in just a little bit there...maybe...probably not...

That passed quick, there just no way I'm bothering with Big Social Media lol :)

"cutting edge" intellectualism masking a profit motive is likely just ethical confusion.

Not a Starlink user, but follow with interest. Read an article the other day saying that users are frustrated as speeds (latency and mbps) are slowing as they add more people to the network (which make sense). I'll see if I can find that article

Arstechnica has good coverage of the topic, but I'm on traditional satellite with no Starlink experience.

I can't wait for people to bitch about hurricane after they just paid serious $$$ to live near the water.

What's the forcast for you - what is peak windage supposed to be and is it higher then your toilet velocity?

TS level for Jax, enough to go outside shirtless only wearing my undies.

Don't blame Chevy, blame their marketing research focus groups.

Including making pickups priced like Lincolns.

Ya I guess VAT is for EU and not for non EU address

I received a pigtail from Forza just the other day and DHL was fine. Not the horror show I'd heard it to be.

Recently ordered 3 Forza cables over the last month and DHL was quick and just fine. But, the $40 shipping is pretty brutal.

No Claritas this is my first Lyr, which I briefly heard at the Austin show, just enough to determine it would replace my Asgard 3. I always figured I would end up with an DSHA3F but it did not impress me enough (again, show conditions) so I just went with the Lyr +

I just need an "auxiliary" SS as the Starlett is my goto, and so far the Lyr + is doing nicely...lol how I justified "needing" two relatively $expensive$ amps ;)

I can understand it. I use four desktop amps regularly (for Paradox, HD-600, ESP-950, and IEMs). So, I'm unwilling to spend more than ~$1,250 on any single headphone amp. And, in any case, I'm going to buy speakers eventually.

I can be such a pain in the ass... ;)

I switched by my Eikon and Auteur to the new band and probably have the old ones laying around. Let me know if you want one

The only reason for your pain in the ass is the fat rolls.

@crenca , Did you mean Lyr+ ? Not Lyr 2?

Yes @Lunk_Wray , I meant this just out "Fusion Architecture" Lyr, which I think we are calling "Lyr +" (to distinguish it from an unamed circuit update of the OG Lyr we called Lyr 2?) though on Schiit's site it's just "Lyr"....branding can be so confusing ;)

Edit: I see Jason is calling it "Lyr +" as well

Not as confusing as ifi's Zen Signature Air V2 Drop sooper dooper edition Dac branding. . .

Ah, right, but is that only an issue if/when a computer is on the same circuit as your audio stuff?

"timing, which our brains are very sensitive"

Mostly, I don't even know what day it is.

Interesting. But does that noise get passed on to the endpoint? I guess I've found that there's a convenience factor. Your desktop/laptop probably isn't always on and ready to stream, and it's sometimes (very slightly) annoying to have to get up and wake it up. A Nucleus, etc. is always on by design.

Convenience was one major factor why I built NUC based core. Also I don’t have a desktop and my laptop is what I use for work and I can’t install lot of software due to security policies and even if I can, I run lot of CPU intensive software and applications and hence I wanted to keep my music related stuff out of my laptop. ROCK OS is perfect for roon.

I run an Innuos Zen Mini as my Roon server. It compares favorable with a Roon Nucleus.

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm running Roon core now on my regular desktop PC, and am thiking of offloading it to a dedicated box and was just looking at options. Nucleus is just a one stop fanless option (at a $premium) I was looking over...

another option; small green computer sonic transporter. I run one as my HQPlayer embedded device (fanless, self contained pc)

WCW, is that what used to be WWF before some save the baby seal types ruined it for everybody?

No @crenca, it used to be the Mouth of the South’s baby.

Isn't Star Trek OG still on Netflix?

I miss Hogan's Heroes and I Dream of Jeannie.

We had a fun little glitch this morning in Corpus Christi. See you at the show!

I need to try what's built into Win 10 (but my experience tells me I will get what I paid for ;) ), but I'm thinking other paid/supported software that's a serious product.

I haven't kept current but back when exploring the various vendors for a corporate research project Dragon almost always performed the best.

@crazychile It’s still there. And they actually made a form for it to dance around the Impossibility Defense. https://tax.iowa.gov/forms/drug-tax-stamp-order-form-70-510

Something something truth stranger than fiction, etc.

Iirc, the first federal statute dealing with mj was called the Marijuana Tax Act (1927?), so Iowa was just following suit. Ofc, at the time the Federal Courts still pretended the 9th and 10th Amendments hadn't been repealed. Oh wait, they havent?

Sorry, 1937.
