| Denafrips Terminator 12th vs. 15th DAC @hilde45 Clearly the Terminator 15th is 25% better than the Terminator 12th. If it was 50% better, they would have called it the Terminator 18th... | |

| What’s your opinion about Dali speakers? I am only familiar with Dali in the stereo realm, and not HT. I own the Epicon 6’s and am very pleased with them. I like them well enough that I will consider Dali speakers for a HT room that will be built in my next home. They are very balanced, ... | |
| Small footprint subwoofer I respectfully disagree you don’t need a sub that goes below 30Hz for music even in a smaller room. There’s actually a lot of info down there Agree! Even with speakers with a stated low end of 35 Hz, I found the addition of two Rythmik FG12’s m... | |
| Can a DAC do triple duty? I have a Pontus II with two DACs (I2S and USB connections) plugged in and an Oppo 203 (optical) for CDs as well. No problem. | |
| A Tale of Two Crossovers Have you considered the Sublime Audio K231 or their balanced version K235? Analog active 2- or 3-way crossover. I own the K231 and think it is a good value. I do not feel that it adds any significant coloration to the sound. | |
| Streaming question I used to use OpenVNC a number of years ago, and was happy with it. It appears to have been forked a few times. A reasonable looking version (which should be free based on the GPL license) is at https://tigervnc.org i have not used this particu... | |

| A.I. music @falconquest I will argue until I'm blue in the face that AI is not a source of creativity equal to that of the consciousness of humans. Another perspective: We think of intelligence as an individual thing. But another way to look at it is a... | |
| A.I. music @mahgister Well articulated, and I share your pessimism... also, like you, optimistic in the long run, should we survive the short-term consequences of our actions. Read up on the Fermi Paradox and the Great Filter... this could be one of the de... | |
| 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... |
