Look who I found at my hotel: That good creature is really kind and helpful to me. The other is the owner of the armchair and the whole street. And pretty badass.

Heck! You are not helping me sir! I'm downloading it with shitty hotel Wireless... And me have to sleep in half an hour to get 6-7 hours sleep before work, have to being at work till tomorrow 6pm makes things worse. Not that I have a bad job, I have a great one, but... I'm petting myself and keep saying "patience, child" to myself now.

Continuation of R2R DAC Discussion From Stax Thread
Sechtdamon replied to Sechtdamon's topic in Home Source Components
If I have to fucking find DSD for all my favorite albums just to hear better sound from the same DAC what the fuck is the point spending 20k on a shit? And most of the people (bullshitters or realistic people) agrees on DSD sounds better than PCM already, so what the fuck GG does specially? Every fucking DSD decoding capable DACs sound better with DSD. I love 44.1/16 from my modest dac, it sounds pretty good with these files. So enlight me please. You said you've heard 11 different R2R dacs, obviously you got experience, Just answer me if you don't mind: Is it the logic: spending shitload of money on something that does mediocre job; well below it's price, working your ass off to make it sound better than average or just follow snakeoil strains, and just be happy with the bullshit? -
I settled completely in my room Today. Residance's owners are really good people, last week I said that I need bigger room for my table, and they arranged one for me. Here is the a part of my room: Btw as a welcome, two bombs has been detonated in Beşiktaş, 2,5 kms away from my residance... 20 people has been wounded.

Özgür's special recipes from Turkish Cuisine
Sechtdamon replied to Sechtdamon's topic in Food and Drink
Luckily I grew up with Hanna&Barbera Cartoons. Thank you Sir, I'm aware my English isn't that good, but even if it was, I tend to think "not enough" all the time. Cuz when you start to think you reach the top, the path of improving yourself ends, and path of ignorance starts. All corrected now, thank you sir. -
Özgür's special recipes from Turkish Cuisine
Sechtdamon replied to Sechtdamon's topic in Food and Drink
I understand now, sorry Thanks for humorous heads up. All of them are corrected. -
Heck Mr. Steve, you are really calm about it. I've been stabbed once but losing any piece of my body is my nightmare. I hope partial amputation won't happen. Best wishes.

They are easy to make and can carry some wrong doings fine Dusty, sir. I promise. Next reciepe will be easy (home made) İskender Döner kebab.

Hey Sirs, Today I'm giving the recipe and how to info of Saç Kavurma, A Turkish Cuisine Classic. Lets start with ingredients. For one hungry person (just multiple the quantity of ingredients with number of people) : 250-300 Grams Entrecote (any soft red meat can be used, not sure about pork) One middle sized Tomato Two middle sized long green pepper Half of a middle sized onion (I'm not using it now cuz I don't like onion) 1-1,5 tablespoon Butter (the one made from milk) 2-3 tablespoon Olive oil (not going to be used if following my way) Salt, pepper, thyme, flaked chili pepper as much as you wish (salt, pepper are not going to be used while cooking if following my way) For my special recipe: Those are needed for marinate the meat: 5 table spoon milk 1 table spoon vinegar, 2-3 table spoon olive oil 1-1,5 table spoon honey Half table spoon curry Pepper, salt as much as you want. How to cook: Marinating: Put the honey into bowl (I was adding sugar when I use tomato or tomato paste every time cuz sugar takes away the sourness tomato or paste adds, and once I added honey instead of sugar, It made dish much more tasty) : Then add olive oil and vinegar onto it: Stir them till make them homogen mix. Then add milk, Stir them homogen again. Then add curry and pepper stir again (never ever add flaked spices into marination, cuz they tend to burn) Then cut the meat into small (roughly 0,5-1cm cubes) pieces: Put the meat pieces into the mix, let them rest for 1-4 hours. For best result let them rest as much as you can. Cooking: You need to peel the tomato, so make an X on the bottom of it and put it in a hot water filled bowl for a 5 min: Then slice the tomato into small (don't have to be tiny, they'll melt anyway) pieces: Slice the long greet peppers too (if you do not like the seeds, you can remove them with the tip of the knife: just cut them horizontally and vertically into 4 pieces, and remove seeds with the tip of the knife) Slice onions to cubes too if you want to add them. You need to make them ready for mixing, cuz this dish requires non stop stirring, cooking must be made with big flames, so if you cease stirring for slicing, meat will be too dry and hard. Heat the pan (pan must be deep, cuz of easy stirring and actually this dish requires special pan called sac, the name of the dish comes from it) with big flames (never reduce the heat during cooking.) After heating the pan, put meat into pan. Stir them non-stop till meat take the juice: After some of the juice is gone, add green peppers After 1 min of stirring add tomatoes After tomatoes are shrinked, add the flaked spices and stir them for 30 seconds: After some stirring, add butter, stir for 30 sec again: Saç kavurma is ready, bon apetit! PS: colors may differ cuz of poor light condutions. I'll add the recipe I know when I cook them.

While lurking around I found an interesting firm: LessLoss. Here is their discrete ladder DAC based on their own module (haven't check for internal pictures yet) (5342 Dollars): http://www.lessloss.com/echos-end-p-218.html I though the wood used on chasis is mahogany but they uses something different: http://www.lessloss.com/technology.html?zenid=513kq424j6utubrudk1b7iopq2 Off topic; their most interesting thing: A SD card player (91181 Dollars - I'm pretty sure they'll make 181 Dollars discount if you want to buy : http://www.lessloss.com/laminar-streamer-sd-player-p-207.html I'll add all the findings into main post/or not, not decided yet. Sharing all the info on 1 post can trigger laziness. -

I don't know anything about being true 24 bit effects any way but, my AD1862 based dac plays 24 bit files just fine. I know being accept 24 bit and actually being 24 bit different things, but tbh I don't hear any differances between well recorded 16/44.1 and 24/96-192. About DACs which uses PCM56, from MHDT Lab, Havana, Havana 2 (uses dac chips internal opamps, according to their website) and stockholm 2 (uses discreet I/V stage and no feedback, again according to their website) http://dhost.info/mhdtlab/ And I doubt if they're still making Havana 2. They made balanced Pagoda too, based on PCM1704. All their DACs uses tube buffer stage based on 2c51. And while lurking, i bumped to a website, Has some interesting products, and Diy friendly things: http://www.sonicillusions.co.uk/projects.htm This is their discrete Dac module. http://www.sonicillusions.co.uk/images/pmd_pcb.pdf http://www.sonicillusions.co.uk/discrete_dac.htm And anyone has info about BB PCM65? I searched about it a lot and all I found out two Pioneer cd players used them. And I guess it is the rarest of all. And I found out I'm banned from Diyhifi cuz of spamming, I'm not even registered there.
