| How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is? @verdantaudio Thanks for the explanation and the relationship between the three factors. That's something I'll keep in mind when/if I upgrade. @stuartk Agreed - but I also use the Oppo for streaming and I don't want to lose that. 80% streaming a... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" @rpppr Not particularly. As much as I loved the Dead, I'm not beholden to what Jerry feels about a genre he plainly doesn't understand. Musicians as gifted as he have said the exact opposite. | |
| Better story teller than Edmund Fitzgerald? @jonwolfpell So true. "Circle of Steel" was a powerful imprint on my childhood - that feeling of desperate hope amidst despair and squalor. | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" @parnelligq I think you're missing the point. My feelings were never hurt. This has nothing to do with me and more about presumptions, biases, and labelling of a musical genre most respondents frankly know little about. I would have done the sam... | |
| Better story teller than Edmund Fitzgerald? Rush - 2112 | |
| Better story teller than Edmund Fitzgerald? Can’t not mention this gem! Fairport Convention - "Matty Groves" | |
| Better story teller than Edmund Fitzgerald? @akg_ca So true. Good storytelling in a perfectly romanticized Lightfootian way and a beautiful melody, too. | |
| Better story teller than Edmund Fitzgerald? @larryi Good call on "Cold Missouri Waters." When I first heard that I was inspired to read Normal McLean's book about that disaster. Those poor guys. | |

| Better story teller than Edmund Fitzgerald? We need a "Like" button for all these replies😊 | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bkeske I love Williams’ canon. Out of loyalty to my great aunt (the founder) I have the Angel Records release with Adrian Boult conducting but was looking for something with a more fidelity. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bkeske How's that particular recording? | |

| How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is? Here's a tangential question: Why does Tidal Master quality streaming through my Oppo/Schiit combo sound so much better than playing a CD through the same combo? I'm talking of identical releases of CD and streaming selection. | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" @stager See ya. The fact that you referred to Ebonics - a term that hasn’t been used in 20 years - further shows how out of touch you are. Btw, I believe "nitwit" is a more ad hominem attack than anything I said. I also think it’s not used by ... |
