No bias there at all eh?

Nope, don't have them but those are the internal pictures that I have found. I daresay the pictures speak for themselves.

Indeed, RCMP red nail polish is clearly superior for audiophile duties.

In for 32 please

You Canadians can't handle the milspec nail polish, eh?

Onkyo: Wadia:

Are you sure it has enough power? Might need to use the Emmeline, The Protector: The World's First Balanced, Ultra-Portable Headphone Amp - Ray Samuels Audio

[clueless n00b question]I'm guessing the sockets are WPI connectors? Does WPI stand for anything in particular?[/clueless n00b question]

An all inclusive week in the National Institute of Mental Health?

I would also be interested in the heatsinks alone

Just think, by the time it's burned in you get free green coloring for free!

[/insert needs more burn-in comment here]

I believe your answers may be found at head-fi.org. Wait, you still have an active thread in this very sub-forum asking for a headphone recommendation. Do you need a new thread for every decision you're about to make?

Asgard + transformer box!!!! What can't it do?!

I think at this point I'm just going to turn around and sell my extata boards and wait for the KGSSHV. Great first stax-related DIY project, eh?

Ah. That makes more sense, what you said earlier seemed to imply something else totally.

1) USB 3.0 isn't needed for a DAC as digital audio isn't too terribly demanding on bandwidth. Total bandwidth required for a 24bit 96khz stream is about 4.4 Megabits/sec. That's well under the 11Mbit/sec theoretical bandwidth (figure roughly 7Mbit/sec real-world bandwidth) provided by "full-speed" USB 1.1. 2) Even though the WM8741 can accept 192khz and DSD, I can guarantee you the licensing fees and extra circuitry required to decode the HDCP would have pushed the DAC past it's current sub-$500 price point. Accepting encrypted DSD isn't as simple as tacking on a HDMI port to a DAC (I wish it was though, it'd be great for the DIY crowd).

Wooo, very nicely done Nate!

Saw the Yoshida Brothers perform today. Very cool listening to them live.

Ah, I was wondering if they had put a tower defense into SC2 as well as the vertical scrolling shooter they put in. I actually spent a good amount of time playing that actually....fun and very polished minigame.

How do you access the tower defense minigame?

What drillpress vice do you have? In the past I've used an odd mix of clamps with scrap pieces of wood but now that I no longer have access to a wood shop I'm basically starting from scratch.

I wonder if the ghost drive issue is the root cause. Do you have another usb drive to see if for some reason the drive is acting weirdly?

Pre-ordered a while back, but Amazon just shipped my copy of Starcraft 2. Woot!

For desks, I've found the Ikea Signum cable "rack" to be extremely helpful. IKEA | Desktop solutions | GALANT system | SIGNUM | Cable management, horizontal
