Classical Aficionados: Please Suggest Debussy Solo Piano recordings
@antigrunge2 , @edcyn  Thanks to you both  -- I will explore ! @newbee  Thanks for your suggestions!  I'm just starting my Classical journey. Having grown tired of Rock in the late 70's, I began a long exploration of Jazz that is still ongoing.... 
Is anyone using a HDMI cable for I2S connection between digital components?
@soix  OK -- thanks for confirming that.   
Is anyone using a HDMI cable for I2S connection between digital components?
@soix  I'm confused. I thought each manufacturer uses their own proprietary socket for I2S which makes it very difficult to find a cable that will connect between two components of different brands. Has this changed? What am not understanding?   
Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired
@dbb  Understood. nevertheless, there's a possibility your approach may serve as an example/template for others.   
Classical Aficionados: Please Suggest Debussy Solo Piano recordings
@newbee  Just ordered the Bavouzet box set.  I found the Ogawa a bit "soft" in some pieces.  The Uchida is "firmer" than Bavouzet but as a long-time fan of Jazz players such as JoAnne Brackeen and McCoy Tyner, I'm OK with that.  Funny -- I als...

@ebkesq  I suppose the seller could've made a mistake.  My Lokius measures as 1/4 inch spacing.   
Why do almost all women today hate home audio?
@hilde45  "This thread is like an MRI capable of revealing every troglodyte, misogynist, sexist, Fox-viewer, and neanderthal out there". Sadly, yes.  
Input/Output jack spacing on Schiit Loki Max?
@bkeske  There's currently a Loki Max for sale, here. The seller confirmed jack spacing is the same as on the Lokius. Disappointing.   
Are carbon fiber speaker cabinets inherently better than wood or metal ones
Yes, there are carbon fiber acoustic guitars available at various price points. They are much less affected by changes in temperature and humidity than wooden guitars. RainSong is one popular brand while McPherson cater to fatter wallets.

@brunomarcs "Once you post any political realms, you just lost all credibility with any and all who disagree with you. Why would you bring that to an audio forum? " Good question. I also belong to the Acoustic Guitar Forum. Either it's rigorou... 
Input/Output jack spacing on Schiit Loki Max?
@bkeske  Apologies for my failure to communicate more clearly. I certainly didn't intend to take up so much of your time with this!   What I attempting to point out was simply that I find it very difficult to ascertain the relative spacing when ... 
Input/Output jack spacing on Schiit Loki Max?
@bkeske  Thanks. The photos do not show these units at the same scale --  compare the relative sizes of the inputs. Those on the Max appear smaller, here but I think it they are more likely the same size. I do appreciate your motivation to help.... 
Input/Output jack spacing on Schiit Loki Max?
@bkeske  Thanks. I have seen the photos but it's still not clear to me whether the spacing is actually any different.
