| A.I. music +1 @puptent As T.S. Eliot said, "For us, there is only the trying. The rest is not our business." @hilde45 that’s what I said about streaming. Ha! | |
| A.I. music @hilde45 Be nice if we cured cancer with A.I., no? That’s in part what I’m working on. Caveat: for reasons too complex to go into here, my belief is that we will never completely cure cancer, because the same mechanisms that drive and optimiz... | |
| A.I. music @parker65310 @wsrrsw I’ve been in AI since the 1980’s, I’ve had the good fortune to have worked at some of the world’s best academic and commercial AI labs. I’ve seen a lot of where the field has gone in the last 40-some-odd years. When the In... | |
| A.I. music @mapman Or what if Bach joined Led Zeppelin? Wouldn't that be interesting! (Did this with fotor and powerpoint) | |
| A.I. music If you listen to Rick Beato talk about why today’s music is so boring, and understand a little bit about how generative AI works, you will see that generative AI is pretty much made for today’s music. Copy (with minor tweaks) or just sample. Lath... | |
| Can DDC of another brand be used on Denafrips Dac?Audio GD etc No experience with the Audio-GD DI-20HE (it looks awesome, btw!), but I have successfully used a Holo Audio Red in DDC mode, feeding it USB to convert to I2S for a Pontus II. I have the Iris as well, and it's great, but I was curious about I2S ou... | |
| Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming? @nyev And, one kid is playing games online and the other is FaceTiming friends in a marathon call. @wsrrsw Have you asked, bribed or manacled your kids and others to cease web activity during the sound downturn times? There is a much bet... | |
| Musical Expectation Bias @mahgister @czarivey You are a good guy and i cannot thank you enough for the Joey De Francesco recommendation..I collected all i could of him and he became my favorite on Hammond...😊 Absolutely love Joey DeFrancesco! His live performances ... | |
| Musical Expectation Bias @czarivey and that was done by MIT... Don’t they have larger priorities than fall on to being so useless? @mahgister you really MUST understand the reputation of MIT being an elite university for technologies and engineering. That particular ... | |
| Streamer software, what do you use? I have a repurposed Mac Mini, on which I have installed Ubuntu linux. It runs Roon + HQPlayer. HQP handles DSP as well as oversampling + noise shaping to feed a few NAA endpoints: a Holo Red streamer (junky stock software replaced with Ropieee) co... | |
| Transparent Audio is anything but Transparent @steakster The market where I bought the watch had knock-offs from every major international designer imaginable. You name it - clothing, jewelry, shoes, fashion accessories, etc. The vendors were honest and said that all the items were fake. B... | |
| Transparent Audio is anything but Transparent Refusal to authenticate second-hand goods is the norm these days. For example, in the luxury space, you can't get a Louis Vuitton or Chloe handbag authenticated by the respective manufacturers. This is increasingly the case because the counterfeit... | |
| Building your music digital music collection Ripping and/or buying files was the first couple decades of this century… by and large is over. +1 @ghdprentice I see no point in ripping / storing content that is available via streaming (I use Roon with Qobuz). However, I do rip CDs to my N... | |
| Songs you use when auditioning gear Fleetwood Mac "Dreams" for the cymbal attacks and decays, and the hi-hat 8th note work. Osamu Kitajima "Golden Mean" off the Masterless Samurai album for soundstage and high-frequencies (bells). "Aja" for the incredible balancing act between the... | |
| Streaming Curious OP -- you mentioned a desire to test drive a "modern interface." I think your idea of getting simple hardware (the Node at a good price on CL) is great. After you’ve had it for a month or two, and are familiar with the BluOS app, I’d encourage you... |
