1K dac

One of my closest friends is gone.
I too knew Brooks pretty well. I am so sad to hear this. He was a wonderful man and human being. He will be missed...

I am also a "physical" media guy. Never tried the computer route and right now, I really don't have any interest in it.I love looking through my massive CD and LP library and picking out just the right music for my mood at the time. The LP cover a...
