| Is there a better DAC than the Schiit Bifrost for $300? @docknow Good info. There is a multibit Modi 2 on eBay now. A tad overpriced but I'll watch it or consider new. | |
| What’s wrong with Diana Krall? I think it is strange when people say things like someone is a "joke as a singer". Or this or that band "is not a good band". Certainly such things might apply to some garage band or youtube wannabe but these statements are often made about people... | |
| Is there a better DAC than the Schiit Bifrost for $300? Well, even a used Bifrost is pushing my budget cut off. I think the Multibit is $500 new and I'm looking for something sub $300.I am glad to hear that you can hear the difference. I'm always worried I'm going to spend money and then not hear the e... | |
| Could I be a Retail Wretch? @david_ten "Are you suggesting your moral and ethical standards are 'the' standard? : )"Not at all. But, I do believe that there are standards for moral and ethical behavior. Most of them widely held. This issue does not rise to that level. The s... | |
| Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling... @rja I agree.I'm watching an item on eBay. Retails for $400 with free shipping. The item came up 2 or 3 weeks ago. Description says "new open box". $355 'buy it now' plus $20 shipping. Below that it says "don't try to low ball me, I've got plenty... | |
| Dumb file size question. You are right. And I’ve already done it. I’ve got about 60 of my 150 or CDs on the hard drive of an old iMac via iTunes running into a Schiit Modi 2 Uber DAC via USB cable.A very modest setup no doubt. But very convenient. Apple Remote works very ... | |
| Fixing your cable problems forever. I agree. That’s why I get into this sort of thing. Some have heard me mention the cabin that I have....which is where these home-made speakers would go. I built it too. From a log cabin kit. Did everything but the foundation. Had help with electri... | |
| Could I be a Retail Wretch? There is no moral issue here. The OP is not behaving unethically. He is under no obligation to abide by someone else’s personal code of conduct and anyone suggesting that he is does not have any basis for it in my opinion.But there is a problem wi... | |
| Fixing your cable problems forever. So I keep going back and forth in my head about making a set of speakers.What stops me is two things:1. I just don't see the exact kit for me in terms of price and configuration. I do not want cabinet components.2. I get the feeling that if I spen... | |
| inherent design flaws with a 3 way, 15" / 8" / horn (large tower) speaker? As I was looking at DIY speaker kits I see that large paper cone woofers are still popular in parts of that market. Some of these kits are pricey too. | |
| What’s wrong with Diana Krall? @rpeluso Got it. Sorry. | |
| Dumb file size question. I think there are bar code and catalog numbers that coincide with the CD but I have not confirmed that.As much as I hate that CDs are being engineered this way and as much as I hate buying what, to me, seems, like a bloated file at a bloated price... | |
| What’s wrong with Diana Krall? A lot of people do the same thing their whole life and do it well. Even at high levels of performance and art. Maybe they are the exceptions that prove the rule.But, I agree with you. When you can't do it anymore it is time to stop or change.Rober... | |
| Dumb file size question. @lowrider57 Agree, but many hi res download files have similar DR compression to the CD so you can't just assume the hi-res file has been engineered differently. In the case of this album it clearly has though. | |
| Dumb file size question. I bought this album, Blak and Blu by Gary Clark, Jr., for two reasons. First, it is an incredible album. Style all over the place and amazing talent in every one of those places.Second, the CD has severely depressed DR and the low res streaming v... |
