VLC and the usual sources.

Happy Birthday!

Ric Does it support lossless gapless playback? (The Rio Karma managed this back 2003 - anything that can't do this with today's hardware / software is broken in my opinion ) Can you reliably (i.e. double blind, at statistically significant levels), detect differences between 24/192 + 24/96 samples from the same master, on the same hardware ? ( or even have a preference (Nyquist–Shannon + the thresholds of human hearing would suggest not)) How much source material is there with audio content above 48Khz ? What makes you happy? Try capturing some samples of Esme to see if its the source material , or the playback chain that's more important

^Posed? not facing oncoming traffic?

If you are still interested in using the touch with an external USB drive, the best thread I have read on the matter is Touch with USB drive : mastering TinySB Lots of useful info. Of particular interest are Treepleks Posts Where he describes how to use the SD card (or usb drive) filesystem as extra virtual memory / swap space. Impressive. Hopefully someone can configure it as an app , so it will "just work" and you wont have to brush up on your command line skillz.

How many more combo's are there with this meme?

Thanks for all the 72 Birthday wishes (bacon infused or otherwise). Lazy day, more shooting zombies, sunny walk, some bacon, caffeine, chocolate. Watched Ricky G make fun of the Shiny People. Now about to kick back with Joanne, some local Thai (food ) and Sherlock. And no work tomorrow thanks to MLK. Mustn't Grumble

No Bacon?

Happy Birthday!

Concur. Maybe we can have a HC group game of Nation Red this (free) weekend

^ Who am I supposed to not care less about?

^ now try getting that through TSA. In the bin you go!

Had one of these for lunch today. grass-fed beef, toasted potato bread, shredded iceberg, Pt. Reyes Toma, and bacon Approve.

"When you offer an extreme alternative, it makes the less egregious — but still halfway extreme alternative — seem reasonable," he explained. "When Burger King came out with its [Triple Whopper], people freaked out about it. I don't know if they ever intended to sell any of those, but it certainly made the [Double Whopper] seem reasonable by comparison." http://articles.lati...food-20100527/2 (I seem to recall reading that sales of Double Whoppers went down when they pulled the Triple from the menu, and went back up when they added it) To make $1K for a headphone seem like a relative bargain? , to hit all the price points on the demand curve? because they employ MBA's

^ Does it go to 11?

Thanks Tyll, for doing the leg work at CES, so we don't have to.

You need Wife 2.0

No doubt there will be plenty of announcements at CES 2012 of interest to us, so I thought I'd start a thread to keep track of the headphones announced at the show . Who knows, maybe we can encourage Tyll, or other visitors to get a closer look for us. I'll start off with something interesting (thanks to google translate) Sennheiser introduces the high-end HD 700 Headphones google webcache of (pulled) B&H had it priced @ $999.95
