  Pi2AES: enjoying it in my chain. If you are on the fence just do it. Dare you to find this much improvment at the going rate.

    I had been on the fence for years but pulled the trigger thanks to @GoldenOne several months ago. It's absolutely worth it to kick USB out of your audiophile chain!

  The moment when you realize your search is over, but your new problem is peeling yourself away from your stack.

    Just found it in Apple Music. It is very good. His live in Sweden is quite good. Recording quality isn’t as good as songbook.

    Agree. It's a chilling album on a great headphone system. As Hope and Promise Fade gives me shivers.

    I saw him two times live. Once on the Chick/Bella fleck tour. It was completely amazing in New Orleans. I then got to see him in NY not long ago. He looked so healthy. He did a show with Chucho Valdez. He could just let notes hang an as they dropped from the celling just play right into the falling note.

    Ozric Tentacles? Well, maybe they are more funky/fusion from outer space.
