    Oh look. an "MQA READY"* Dac https://www.meridian-audio.com/products/personal-audio/explorer2/ Maybe It'll even have a low output impedance. EDIT: looks like it does. 0.47 Ohm. http://www.meridianunplugged.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=224155#Post224155 *you mean one that handles PCM? or turns on a LED when it senses some low order bit pattern?

    ^ I came to similar conclusions. the description is almost content free. If they are saying "most" of the data in hi-rez files can be thrown away vs CD data rates (because you can't hear it), aren't they shooting themselves in the foot or being self defeating ? If its backwards compatible with PCM gear, then aren't we back in HDCD land, which is moot since we can have true 24 bit samples if required. Looks remarkably like badge engineering, or a tax on Hi-Rez. THX for Music?

    That's what happens when you spend time adding commentary. I'll never make it as a no value-add news feed aggregator

    (oblig glossy vertical scrolling one page web site) http://musicischanging.com/ has someone been drinking the Pono Kool Aid? http://www.realhd-audio.com/?p=3851 http://www.stuff.tv/meridian/meridian-s-mqa-format-allows-streaming-studio-quality-music/news https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/robert-harley-listens-to-meridian-mqa/ lossless compression for streaming ? How is it different from FLAC?

  10. Very impressive, QA, attention to detail, process, staff conditions etc. As said above, other audio / boutique / jewelry manufacturers take note. Hand made does not need to mean variable / crappy / unjustifiably expensive. Look for a DIN standard / QA sticker on your next purchase
  11. This is Interesting Tidal seems to use the same Global Identifiers ( accessible by the share / by email copyable link) e.g Artist Alison Krauss. = tidalhifi.com/artist/6602 Album New Favorite by Alison Krauss. = tidalhifi.com/album/3044220 Track New Favorite by Alison Krauss. = tidalhifi.com/track/3044233 and as seen before entities are different for a UK and a US account as an example , playable on UK Account, not on US Account Paper Airplane by Alison Krauss http://tidalhifi.com/album/6043300 I've a couple of days overlap for a UK registered account and a US one, so have a few days window for further exploration as time allows and have accessed both via the Web interface and the (windows) Desktop App, from the US, so will explore further, but its late now so will leave you with the following UK Account desktop App US Account desktop App

  17. Happy Birthday Gene! oh, too late, sold out! you'll just have to celebrate some other way!, Have a good one!
  18. Third day of overindulgence, this time with another expat Brit for an early Christmas meal. Roast turkey with the proper trimmings (yay for roast parsnips and proper roast potatoes). Joanne and I were asked to handle dessert, so a team effort resulted in some home made Mince Pies. yum.

  21. Bryan, Happy Birthday!
  22. Quote from elsewhere that may be relevant " I had a good photographer attend one of my courses in the pre-digital age. He told us once you get known for producing good portfolios then it was the girls who asked if they could take their clothes off. "
  23. Almost had a thankless thanksgiving when a domestic "accident" sheared the binding posts off one of the Celestions (Note to self: use spades, not Bannana plugs in future, as they don't leverage the enthusiastic impact of a "Hoover" at the weakest point, on ~45 year old fatigued metal) So after some initial "fretting", thought about how it might be salvaged ... Some improvisation and meatball soldering ( a la meatball surgery) later, Voila, stress relieved, phase correct, functioning solution! +1 for a speaker cabinet that can be used as its own workbench, and Duct Tape Now happily listening to Radio Paradise, with a well deserved Diet Coke. I do indeed have something to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving Head Case!
