    If it's anything like what is happening in Baltimore, much of the blame lies on inept and corrupt IT contracting leading to unpatched systems and inadequately protected infrastructure. 1-click hijacking...piece of cake.

  So is Rosson audio on anyone's radar? I read somewhere one of the original Audeze guys started it

    It's Alex Rosson, who left Audeze to Sankar Thiagusamadram (or however you spell his last name). They founded Audeze together. The Rosson First Edition looks mildly interesting, but I've become less and less enamored by planar magnetics as I gain more experience. Take my opinion with a pound of salt though since I jumped on the ZMF hype train.

    I get you @ChaChaRealSmooth since I've got a ticket to ride too (the ZMF hype-train that is). I'm always curious what's out there though & have liked some of/parts of the Audeze sound. Just surprised I haven't heard more from anyone. I guess no ears on them yet.

    I only tried one IEM, the Aria that was a bit odd (wonky mids), but I guess not bad for a 1st go. He seems to excel at woodworking and the cables look intriguing.

  To keep the thread on topic: I used to listen to music on headphones a lot in the car (passenger, not driver). Back before I began seriously investing in audio gear I had an AKG K550 and a phone that still had FM radio functionality built in.

    It's a little difficult to integrate into a system given the limited I/O, but I really enjoyed using my Subpac S2 with IEMs and headphones. Feels "faster" than a normal sub and has better phase coherence with headphones given direct-coupling to the body.

    It was more or less scareware similar to this

    More of an annoyance than anything else, have to reboot the computer & run a virus scan to be sure.
    
    It happens sporadically, but usually SBAF just locks up & I have to either reboot or at least close the browser & reopen.
    Thx for the responses.

    Wonder if he will say he got it at accommodation pricing and selling it at what he paid for.
    
    Or he might of just got the unit for free and selling it is little unethical.

    When caught, deny deny deny. I should run for office, I got the steps down.
    
    I remember my time at Questyle, a QP1R was sent to one of the bigger headphone reviewer sites. The guy was sent the unit with the assumption that after he reviewed it he would send it back. Promised for over a year the review was coming. Then admitted he sold the dap. Great experience.
