Yup ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_626699&feature=iv&src_vid=6EsoWpTO2qg&v=Xa3E03nXfWY And your Global Cinematography credits are ...

Indeed! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=a4ozvZK2YPo

Agreed. Bay Area drivers do seem confused when the effective coefficient of friction changes. Adapt your driving style to the conditions? pah! What, you mean ABS doesn't violate the laws of physics to guarantee invariant breaking distance?. Don't Make Me Think! / Put down that Latte / iPhone!

Indeed. Sun. In England.

Happy Birthday(s)!

Maybe you could take it on Amtrak from Sacramento to Emeryville?

Interesting to compare a "consumer" reviewer (e.g. the above) to a "pro" review , say http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jan10/articles/studioheadphones.htm

Steve, it's like they knew you were coming https://www.facebook.com/SacramentoBaconFest https://www.facebook.com/events/308390039295325 http://www.wherevent.com/detail/Sacramento-Bacon-Fest-Beer-Bacon-on-the-Boulevard http://baconandbuttersac.com/ http://www.yelp.com/biz/bacon-and-butter-sacramento

Happy Birthday!

Jeff , Can you get one with amazon prime that you can return when the real one arrives? or "make an offer" to customer services / a senior exec ?

Happy Birthday Justin! Can you laser etch a birthday tattoo?

Here we go again. Think of it as DVD-A for Blu-Ray https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OaB0OTBFDM http://www.whathifi.com/news/ultra-high-quality-audio-from-blu-ray-enters-the-mainstream Its like they've used the High resolution audio of the Blu-Ray format, but forgot to add any moving pictures ... So it can be played back on any Blue Ray player (or PS3) ... http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/blu-ray-players/1294969/blu-ray-high-resolution-audio-seeks-to-succeed-where-sacd-failed http://www.dvd-and-beyond.com/display-article.php?article=1943 https://www.facebook.com/HFPureAudio1 Initial releases http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=11097 Some Classical http://www.naxos.com/blu-ray_audio.asp http://hiresdig.blogspot.com/2012/11/blu-ray-disc-for-high-resolution-audio.html or you could have some pictures to go with that http://www.amazon.com/music/dp/B009E9R2OK

And in other news, some smart folks have thought outside the box, and combined DoP, FLAC, and existing software to give you http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?98978-SB-Touch-amp-DSD-with-a-DoP-DAC! via http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f11-software/playing-dsd-any-players-including-squeezebox-touch-16346/ Exec summary DoP = DSD over PCM - play the DSD bits, (not converted as), but packaged as PCM - so you can use S/PDIF or toslink as the transport mechanism. FLAC is a container with well a defined tagging ecosystem. So tag + playback using software of choice - output as PCM - PCM input interpreted as DSD ... looks fun stuff I've played with the DSD->PCM conversion in foobar2K so I can play some DSD test tracks back on a PCM dac - not that you'd want to , more as a proof of concept . Lacking a DoP capable DAC , I can't test this out at the moment - but I like the idea. So Benefits are existing PCM playback software / hardware (e.g. SB Touch) but will drive a DoP capable DAC .... Would only work with bit perfect playback - so no replaygain , software volume / EQ - as the PCM data isn't really PCM Audio so can't be manipulated as such. Gapless might work ... Interesting stuff

Happy Belated Birthday David.

Why stop at 2/4/6/8?

He could tell you, but then: He'd have to Kill you? The Black Helicopters would come for you?

And Bacon (but that goes without saying)

^Which ones?

Happy Father's day to those that are, and those that still have them. Happy just another day to the rest of us.

Which probably means Mexican/Real Sugar-nonHFCS Coke Candied Bacon is a possibility. Hmmm.

Jeff, Does this help?
