Audio Note? Which one?

@ergopower I noticed it when looking at an Eminence woofer on Parts Express and thought it was odd that it had no break-up. Then I googled it some and found out that it's an intrinsic characteristic of all hemp cones.

Anything above 5k is super high pitched, so I wonder what would be effected (if anything) on recordings? Maybe cymbals.

Yes, the Eitr is better. But the built in USB isn't really that bad.

IMO, Save your money and get an RPi solution, like DigiOne. See spoiler “More on jitter” here: https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/sbaf-dac-talk-ii.6964/page-27#post-245633

JOLTED!!

Glad you're out of hospital and hope you are doing ok

Hope you're up and kicking @dmckean44! Happy holidays, man~

@monacelli I'm doing fine, I never wrote up anything because the blood thinners they put me on make my eyes blurry so I've been limiting my screen time.

Hope you are getting healed up now?

Yeah, I'm feeling pretty good today. No swelling and finally got to eat something.

Excellent :)

I'm part of the PC brigade too I guess, but even I think Disney is going too far (this is about Gunn right?). Part of why I gravitate towards SBAF is the "not too loose, not too tight" philosophy that applies not only to measurements, but life as well*. No one's got all the answers.

*There is a joke here that I refuse to make.

Makes you miss Bill Hicks even more. What is so PC if the cross people wear is a direct reference to an ancient and cruel death penalty? Try to make sense of that?

Good thing some writers/artist still have/had the guts to create great stories (i.e. "Berserk" & "Hunter X Hunter").

You are in SD, do you go to Comic Con?

Well, except Modi Multibit, which I already own.

Useful data point, thanks. I'd be interested to read your thoughts on the black label at some point

@monacelli I'll say more after the weekend when I've had more time with them.

No, seriously, I touched Jude's backpack. I touched it. His backpack.

The hell happened that this went to profile posts instead of civil discussions via PM? /rubbernecking

1.5 week ban for flying off the handle after someone disliked one of your posts.

Really. I also think free return period for new Yggdrasil must be extended to six weeks (like Amazon winter return policy) for the same reason... 15 days are too short..

With a name like that it is not inconceivable that you'd have to explain something else...

Wait until she's older to tell her the truth about Dr. Dre. Let her keep her innocence a while longer.

I had given up.

Tidal is a little wonky for me lately. It doesn't always open, getting hung up about half the time. I recently noticed that I'm still on Canadian Tidal also. Not sure if that matters.

You can just about kiss Tidal buh bye: https://www.theverge.com/2018/5/16/17361646/tidal-late-royalty-payments

@bazelio, that sucks dude. Streaming Tidal through Audirvana+ is super convenient, especially at the office. On the plus side, it looks like Qobuz is planning a US launch sometime this year: https://bit.ly/2kcCal5

It's still not working after a day and when I try to have it send me an email to reset my password, no email show up.

Isn't @Clemmaster rocking a linear with one of these now as well?

I'm using an UpTone LPS-1 (super capacitors). Slam is indeed a big improvement, even over the DAC1421 and its internal SMPS! Now I'm kinda torn because the improvements the LPS-1 made to the DAC1321 can't be replicated on the 1421, but quite intoxicating (blackground, slam and bass definition).

@soekris How hard is it to bypass the internal power on the dac1421/dac1541?

I don't believe it's possible to get a better amp at this price. Or twice this price.

I'd buy one if I didn't already own one. Great deal. It's one amp I keep around when other things come and go.

I’m moving this week, so I had to pack up my system. The only piece I left up was my Vali 2 w/ a 3.5mm-to-RCA cable. The enjoyment per dollar ratio is unbeatable

RIP tube

Multiple Gumbys! Should try a two way DSP crossover.

I got it to keep hooked up the Lyr 3 full time, but it would be cool to drive the horn with tubes or the JLH amp and the woofer with my Sherwood.

There's a timer for editing and deleting.

Meaning everyone should be reset to zero, or just a big explosion?

I thought SBAF was HF's Tyler Durden.
