I find it a little weird that Canada was not one of them.

Not in Taiwan ... :(

@Senorx12562 it all depends on which country’s music industry representatives are the easiest to negotiate licensing terms with. And also related to the size of the company on the other side. Canada for some reason always seems to lag behind in this aspect, not sure why. Qobuz is small so their negotiating power and resources are likely limited. Which sucks because I really want to drop Tidal.

cheaper than meds i guess :) Thanks Amir

Unfortunately ASR can’t treat high BP

I recently bought a Norne cable and I have zero fucks to give about what Amir might think. Last I checked, his assessments had no measurable impact on my listening enjoyment.

Beta v. VHS ? Ubiquity, availabilty, & simplicity can kill a better mousetrap.

It’s right in the name. RCA Victor.

I wish we could get rid of the RCA altogether.

No. Only fools spend when they should be saving :P

What wave does not drown you?

A sound wave. Enjoy your music.

Joke quota: check.

Unwinding with my BF2/SW51+/HD600 as we speak after a very long night of stressful storms and flooding.

This is good medicine.

I’m looking forward to having that exact same setup soon. I already have the BF2 and VC. Patiently awaiting the SW51+.

I can see the charm of cases. There is always something alluring about the cases and stands to show off our priced possession

My wife calls all of my gear "headphones", even if it's not a transducer. I've started referring to everything not worn on my head as an "amplifier", even if it's a DAC, EQ, whatever.

I told her I wasn't going to buy any more headphones after Stellia, then came SFD-1. She complained, "You said you weren't going to buy any more!" I said, it's an "amp". She said "Whatever, it's all headphones!"

I’ve learned that my partner is less inclined to complain if my Hifi additions “look nice”. She likes my Omega 3xr speakers because they are Zebrawood and the ZMF for similar reasons.

4k for a muddy sounding headphones... yay!

Red headphone? $1k price bump? Limited edition?

Taping into the China market eh Meze?

Beautifully crafted and very comfortable headphone. Too bad they sound eh compared to other headphones in that price range.

Have been listening to music thru Airpods pro mostly knowing that someday I will be able to return to my DSHA-3F/SW51 fed by Onyx/BF2. Have been long wait.

Same. My proper setup is in Asia and I haven’t had it since Jan 20, 2020. I’m in America with IEM’s and a pair of closed HP. Man do I miss it.

@Josh83 He was also listening only in NOS mode.

I skipped around in the video so I missed that detail, @rtaylor76. It’s literally unbelievable that he can’t tell Spring’s NOS mode from other OS DACs. I had the KTE Spring1 for a while, and it was suuuuuper obvious when NOS was on due to the high frequency roll-off alone.

@Josh83 I watch most of the video in 1.5x speed. I can't take it otherwise. At one point in the video he goes down to his basement and goes over operations and says, "NOS is the only mode you want.." SMH

I would not doubt it. Tidal started and continues as an artist friendly streaming platform. MQA had some copyright security built in. It might also be MQA pushing their system as well - "all in or none." To me, it is just more limiting for the end user.

I just want Red Book. Why is it so hard to just let me continue to stream it? Come on, Tidal.

Seems like their email promotion I received yesterday was strategic to tell their shareholders huge subscriber numbers while "protecting ip". At the same time showing I prefer the Masters tier and influencing me to pay more for the service because they are removing albums from their catalog if I don't.

I guess they still have lifetime for 700 may be via email.

I really really like Roon, but they really need to partner with Qobuz and offer a monthly bundle for both services. Wish I had started when the lifetime subscription is cheaper. May still consider lifetime when my first year is up next year.

@Inoculator I wish Qobuz would offer a lifetime subscription. I really enjoy their extensive liner notes and backgrounds on artists.

Looks like if we listen to a particular pair of headphone or IEM for extended period of time we get so used to it that we can’t process any fault in it.

"The person you are trying to call is on SBAF. You can hold, or try again later."

Better try again later, then.

Well since the day you joined that's about 393 hours or about 50 full 8 hour workdays. You're trending .85 posts per hour, impressive. Less being more.

BTS is more an outlier since they are one of the most popular music groups in the world, kpop or not.

The process I followed, if you haven’t gotten it yet, was to listen to some music for a minute or so, then charge the AirPods and the case with the phone nearby. It’ll update soon. You can’t force an update, though.

Here’s a Dolby trailer for spatial audio. Works on the AirPods https://download.dolby.com/us/en/test-tones/dolby-atmos-trailer_amaze_1080.mp4

Unfortunately I don’t have access to WiFi for next few days. I do hope the support for it comes to Netflix and amazon prime in near future

Diapers!

The big question is... did you accept the offer?

Haha no just looking for some cash which I may use to buy TP later
