It's weird, I tear up watching the (good) music flashmobs like nothing else. Something just gets me in the gut. Oct 2, 2021

    Not a flash mob, but maybe a similar vibe. This one gives me eye leaks when I'm in the right mood.

  It's Friday! I have a week off from the grind next week, and a few days up the coast in there too. Time for simplicity and a recharge.

  Music sounds all crashy and crispy...dammit, how long has my subwoofer been turned off???

    Sounds like you have been trying to cover up some sins. I know what you mean, I have been fighting some crunch as well. It helped me when I got the room and speakers sorted. Then the sub is like frosting on the cake. Biggest recent change was fixing the ceiling ringing.

  Some props to Matt at JRiver - I reported an issue which landed with him, he persevered on repro with me and found the fix.

  QQ: DAC2541 BAL & SE to MHA100 have identical loudness. MHA100 sensitivity = 600mV BAL/300mV SE, evening out 4V/2V output from DAC2541, yes?

  Close friends down with Delta, just days after their first jab. Hoping there's been enough immune response to stave off the worst.

    I hope your friend makes a speedy and full recovery. Thankfully medicine has had time to come up with more effective treatment regimes.

    Very sorry to hear. I've had several vaccinated colleagues fall ill with Delta. They are likely to recover but are quite miserable right now.

  Pretty crazy shit happening here in South Africa. I'm fortunate and not affected in Cape Town, but this is a tragedy for our Country.

    Everyone knew Zuma was an asshole, Mandela is rolling in his grave. Also, I'm not too surprised that I met a few Afrikaners who perma left SA and they are shocked that they didn't leave sooner...eh.

  The thing that really hits me about the MHA100 is how well HD600 performs. What a headphone. And what a great pairing with this amp.

    Yep, BW2's channel conked out completely eventually. It has been resurrected by a local enthusiast but at quite some expense but gone from my hands. I haven't tried planars yet.

    This was really a bit of an impulse buy, but at $2.5k in South Africa that is a smoking deal.

  Jumped on a MHA100 at a good price. Thinking DAC2541-->MHA100-->HD600 should work rather well.

    MHA100 in the house doing Headphone and preamp duty. The rotary and momentary button combo for settings is WTF annoying. The sound via HD600 is a good jump over DAC2541.

  Leftover sauteed cabbage + eggs, milk and cornstarch makes for a tasty Gaijin Okonomiyaki for lunch. Served with peach chutney no less.

    @Cspirou yes he has a glass side panel. Besides aesthetics it also makes the computer allot harder to work on when you have cables strewn everywhere.

    My Bloody Valentine "Loveless" is one I use for a quick check of layering ability. That album makes it easy to hear if the amp/dac/headphone is capable of layering. It will or it won't make that mix layered and separated. Not a good example to use to suss out the degree of layering. But will suss out if it does or does not.

    Wow that's actually crazy. $200 more, 6 more votes, 20 less watts, almost double performance.
    I remember when the and fx were just like half the price, double the cores, double the power consumption, half the performance.
