| What say you: Is this fair, or AITA? mapman ... Is there some agreement site users agree to that covers this? If not then would seem reasonable to dispute ... +1 I've never been a seller here, but I'm sure there's an agreement that covers the listing, and that's what should be... | |
| Mic signal You can use a shotgun mic. | |
| Satellite radio tuners There's no way to get around Sirius/XM's processing and lossy compression, but I've found the online stream suffers less than the satellites. To get the best of it, I use an iPad's digital out into my DAC. The stream is offered in varying quality,... | |
| How large (or small) is the audiophile market? gano But we all/mostly all agree that you are ruining these conversations by constantly berating people. Gee, you'd think the moderators would have noticed such behavior. How did they miss it? Perhaps you should alert them. Or, you could ... | |
| transferring music to SSD Respectfully @whart the Sony case arrived at the high court predominately because of the manufacturer’s liability issue, but Fair Use was always at the root of the lengthy case. That’s the aspect of the opinion that I think remains relevant. As y... | |
| transferring music to SSD whart ... I would not rely on Sony as precedent--"free" broadcast TV, case was based on a very stale record (facts in the case) when blank tapes were cost-prohibitive ... Anything's possible and it was a 5-4 opinion. But if you look at the... | |

| Claude #2 It was an interesting thread, so I’m sorry you had it deleted. I understand your enthusiasm @unreceivedogma for AI and certainly understand that it’s an inevitable part of our future - and even the present. But I also think it’s misguided to cha... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes mitch2 ... regardless of whether a UDP/IP or TCP/IP protocol, doesn’t the entire data packet eventually arrive at the streamer ... It does if it's TCP/IP because any faulty packet is simply re-sent. That re-send isn't possible with UDP/IP, tho... | |
| Eyes open or closed? Depends. They're always open when I'm driving, for example. | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes richardbrand Qobuz also claims on their website that "An analog audio signal is composed of a sine wave" when they probably mean an infinite set of sine waves. They are careless with the truth. No, Qobuz is correct - analog audio is just a... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes richardbrand ... In general, UDP/IP is the protocol used for streaming ... That's not the case with providers such as Qobuz, which use TCP/IP protocol. That delivers bit-perfect data right to your streamer. | |
| Real experience - Balanced or Unbalanced between Luxman Pre & Power Amps gdnrbob ... your equipment should follow AES standards for Balanced operation (that you are using Luxman equipment, I 'think' you should be in the clear ... Looking at the published specs, it does not look like the Luxmans are compliant wit... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes jeffbij ... one that turned out to just be a Netgear GS series 8 port switch in a different colored case with a linear power supply. Which one was that? Another was a DLink that was supposed to have been "modified" but only had some stuff g... |
