| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @simao Honestly I felt the same way about Bob Dylan's music. Until Time Out Of Mind came out. I couldn't even believe it was him. | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @mitch2 UDP can safely be ignored in the context of 2-ch digital streaming, together with all the AI-generated nonsense @richardbrand has been cut-and-pasting in this thread. Both Tidal and Qobuz use TCP, and TCP does ensure bit-perfect transfer... | |
| What is the most overlooked consideration? @oberoniaomnia Absolutely. Also, feelings of inadequacy, FOMO, and blind faith and willful ignorance sometimes lurk in the background. @bigkidz It sure helps to understand what's inside the case, but isn't auditioning the primary decision-making ... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes ... anyway, UDP is used only when latency is more important than accuracy: telephony, gaming, live sports. It is not used at all for audio streaming because latency isn’t that important, but accuracy is. Accordingly, both Tidal and Qobuz stream ov... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @richardbrand After seeing your post of last night I worried local winemakers were boosting their product with methanol. I'm relieved to see you're OK this morning 🙂 | |
| speaker upgrade from Magico A3 @peter_s I received your PM. My apologies for not being able to respond as I don’t have a credit card on file and don't feel having to have one is a reasonable prerequisite to answering messages. You may want to start a new thread; that way oth... | |
| What bass-litmus-test music do you take to auditions? @deep_333 Thanks, that's a good one 🙂 | |
| Krell Moves to new location If you don't like taxes, consider Washington (no income tax) or Oregon (no sales tax). The two states are separated by the Columbia River. If you live north of the river and shop south of it, it's a win-win, tax-wise. | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes USB was developed almost 30 years ago to replace and consolidate the old serial, parallel and PS/2 ports for PC peripherals, and later became ubiquitous in small electronics chargers. How this pedestrian interface became quasi-standard in high-en... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes I don’t know if any of this resonates with those following this thread @livinon2wheels It certainly resonates with me. I believe the choices you’ve made show admirable self-awareness. More often than not it’s not so much what we do that matte... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @mdalton That thread you linked is very good indeed. It features some definitive viewpoints. I don't need to read anything from anybody anymore. I know the truth. There is light at the end of the tunnel. | |
| Buyer Beware And naysayers claim cables make no difference! | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @kennyc I meant to add "Some" in front of "Audiophile switch sellers" and I never did, but you're right. Vendors like Silent Angel and those you mentioned appear to produce their own PCBs, thereby offering an original product, which is really th... | |
| Selling collection directly in the pacific northwest? Speaking of Echo Audio, it appears the business is being or has been sold. | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes Audiophile switch sellers purchase off-the-shelf switches, ditch the noisy switching mode power supply (SMPS) that came with it, repackage the switch with a small linear power supply (LPS), and sell it at a huge markup. The LPS will in fact yield... |
