The optical and coax S/PDIF out work out the box. The USB out , well , if your're happy reconfiguring linux using ssh , then follow the instructions at the start of this 20+ page thread and let us know how you get on. (Assuming of course you've done a double bind test, before hand , to see if its worth it to you ) EDIT: The same instructions are presented in a step by step (with screenshots) here: http://www.digitalaudioreview.net.au/index.php/news-blog-and-showcase/john-darkos-blog/item/150-how-to-enable-usb-audio-output-on-the-squeezebox-touch

Guten Flug! und Viel Spaß!, Herr VDU (Verteidiger des Universums)

Those Waccy Dutch

I'm always on the look out for new Drivers Drink's . Hopefully they are better than the Bloody Boring (Tomato Juice + Tomato Juice)

Al, Glad you made it to München, and there were cocktails to help!. It appears they have Segway tours there as well. If you ever do manage to leave the hotel, in our much younger days, Joanne and I enjoyed ice skating on the Olympic Rink, The obligatory trip up the TV Tower (Germany's tallest) for the view, and The BMW HQ/Museum/Factory tour. I remember it winding up some UK BMW fanboi's who would have killed to visit there, only for Joanne to complain that "I dragged her round there". The Deutsches Museum was a geek highlight, where I got to sit on a Cray-1, and admire the burst of innovation in Aeronautics during 1939-45

1-Year Subscription to Stereophile Magazine for free FreeBizMag offers a 1-Year Subscription to Stereophile Magazine for free after filling out a short survey. Went through the survey, said no thanks to all the "focused" email spam / other magazines they offered. No credit card details were asked for - so looks like I'm set up for the dead tree edition for the next 12 months

Happy cocktail-free Birthday Mike. Tempted?

Happy Birthday Birgir, try not to set off any volcanoes

Suitably glorious photography on the latest challenge.

Looks fun. Stretch, How do you manage the dichotomy of Charlie Brooker's cynical world view whilst living the dream? More Wine?

Sounds like yet another Does Not SuckTm day on Al's Blitz, er, lightning tour of Mitteleuropa. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soVZJ7d1pQs

Happy Birthday!

Maybe you could actually enjoy a "real" Budweiser (Budějovický Budvar) , for once Watch out for the brits on the er, http://www.pissup.com/prague You didn't book this package then?

Not after the shirtless manathon

The FAQ http://schiit.com/schiit-faq/about-bifrost/ makes fun, interesting reading indeed. Some debunking of specsmanship (e.g real world SNR < 24 bits , even on a 32 bit Dac ) I like their take on "MOAR (non original) samples is not necessarily better" Interesting to see how they perform (sound/measure ) when these turn up, and the "Other" Dacs Jason mentioned " 1. Specs/etc for other DACs? Nope, not much more info there, sorry, except to note they are definitely separate models, rather than improvements on Asgard. Both will be in larger chassis. The top end one I really can't talk about because I was serious about redefining everything. 2. S/N, etc--Mr.Scary, we're VERY conservative about all of our specs. Don't judge a product by a single quantitative number. Bifrost is going to scare the heck out of people, sound-wise. The others--well, it's a whole new world, isn't it? "

Maybe a product of the cloning vats, or just a secret government experiment gone horribly wrong? Have a happy /this/should/just/work/right?/a/a/a/Birthday.

Congrat, Bryan!

WTF Germany?
