Isn't the rights issue one of the reasons that lead to the failure of DVD-A, given that they had to obtain separate rights for each of the 2.0, 2.1, 5.1 mixes and different bit rates/depths? Moving on. With the mainstream demise of the CD player, how long before a CD revival, where enthusiasts seek out of print discs, hunt down out of production players, engage in obscure rituals before listening, and enthuse about the superiority of their chosen medium

I intend to be there. Joanne and I have yet to visit Chicago, so that was an easy sell. Logistics have yet to be determined, but the plan is to take advantage of the pre and post meet festivities, and what is looking more and more like the 1st annual meeting of the JH-13's owners club

Happy Birthday! Don't wake up and find yourself in the 70's or 80's

I meant of their own stuff. Linn Records But if you have the original studio masters in digital form, why go through the DAC->ADC process, unless people like artifacts of that process. Of course, needledrops of other peoples material is a different matter.

Why don't Linn sell needle drops of their top of the line equipment, or would that eliminate vinyl/equipment sales in place of downloads?

Welcome to Club Bounce: Where the big – and beautiful – people go Overweight Americans, tired of discrimination, are fighting for 'size acceptance'. And they're taking their battle to the dancefloor, reports Guy Adams The ladies call themselves "BBW" or "big, beautiful women". The gentlemen are known as "BHMs'" or "big, handsome men". Their common interest, when they're not pounding the specially reinforced dancefloor, is the noble cause of "size acceptance".

Happy Birthday Old Chap!

Let me google that for you

Some people disagree "AES/EBU doesn't fix anything in s/pdif, it makes it worse. It uses wiring and connectors that lack the bandwidth and impedance matching for RF signaling. Just because XLRs are suitable for analog audio doesn't make them good for high frequencies. It's included on Transporter frankly because of legacy expectations, and perhaps in a pro environment you might need it for one reason or another (got the cable handy, used up all the other inputs, etc) but I don't recommend it. Squeezebox : Community : Forums - View Single Post - Help: Best new device for audiophile with DAC? "Its nice to know someone else agrees with me about AES EBU, I always thought I was the lone voice in the wilderness. Anyway I see two main reasons for the inferiority of AES/EBU. 1. XLRs are horrible RF connectors. In order to send a square wave fairly faithfully the interface must support a bandwidth many times higher than the frequency of the square wave. For the signals in question that is getting well up into the RF spectrum where the XLRs are terrible. The impedance varies radically with frequency which will cause all kinds of bizarre reflections. The choice of XLR was a very poor choice. 2. Output voltage. The S/PDIF electrical spec is 0.5V into 75ohms, but the AES/EBU is 3-5V into 110 ohms. Think about that for a second, what happens when you put 5volts across 110 ohms? You get almost 50mA of current flowing. This means the driver sitting in the source box has to be able to dump between 30-50ma into the cable. That causes huge current spikes in the power and ground pins of the driver chip which is going to cause big noise spikes in the power and ground planes of the board. If you are not extremely careful that is going to cause significant jitter in the output signal. All modern high speed interfaces use less than 0.5V signal. As far as I can tell the XLRs were chosen because studios had lots of microphone cables and wanted to use them. Because they are such lousy RF transmission lines they had to go with high voltages to make sure there was some signal left at the end. John S.
