Que?

In that case, I stand corrected. Why is it such a big deal then? It seems if anyone is doing >24/96 (I.E. 24/192), they have to write a proprietary driver for it. Is it just because it's not built into the operating system/default drivers?

That's weird -- the P3 links to a power chord. What about the Emotiva? Also, the Musical Fidelity I was thinking of was the X-Pre v3 -- not that far off from the X-Can v8p, really.

Mmmmm.... While there are a couple of proprietary USB 2.0 interfaces that do 192, but 384 has to be USB 3.0.

Quite probably, yes. Oh hei, let me FTFY. No, seriously, sorry, I shouldn't be taking it out on my friends, I do appreciate your input. I'm going to get a neural impulse actuator. Here's to hoping I don't accidentally drag'n'drop a virtual piano onto my virtual brain.

Try it now (the quoted one, I'll go fix the other one in a second).

On the contrary -- here's an analogy. (One with which I personally relate.) I'm a keyboardist (musician). I've tried taking up the guitar, and I find it extremely difficult. Not just because I'm a beginner, but because I'm used to it (making music) being easy for me, so I find the fact that it's hard for me to make music (on the guitar) particularly frustrating. I do not think that the whole concept sucks, I realize I just need to perservere until it's easy enough to accomplish the things I want to accomplish with it, and I greatly admire people who can make music on the guitar better than I can. Similarly with touchpads (and mice for that matter) -- I don't think that you're retarded because you can work efficiently with both a mouse and a keyboard, or a trackpad and a keyboard, I just don't see the point in me having to do that, since I don't have to, for anything I need to accomplish. On the contrary, I think I'm the retarded one because I just can't seem to get it, but I don't see the point in continuing trying to teach the pig to sing, as it were. It just frustrates the farmer, and makes an awful racket, which usually ends in bacon.

I'm having trouble imagining a scenario in which you're typing at the same time that you're mousing.

Contrary to the "predisposed" theory, I didn't start out hating them. It wasn't until work gave me a laptop for an extended period that I learned to hate them (prior to that I was only mildly irritated by them, and perfectly willing to just Suckitup

link Read the paragraph starting at "A different kind of distortion". To synopsize -- it's not really adding controlled amounts of jitter, but a reference level of jitter, so that you can hear how much your source is introducing (for example, on the clean part of the track). I think.

What? Which ones? Oh, and I love these two pieces -- such a sublime confluence of modern minimalism and retro compositional elements: Amazon.com: pitch: a' = 440 Hz: Play It: MP3 Downloads Amazon.com: pitch: a' = 443 Hz: Play It: MP3 Downloads

And yeah, I'm sure there are other ways to get them (I think I recognized some titles from the last.fm free rss feed).

No, I think he's talking about the increased capabilities of entry level pro equipment to be able to handle DSDIFF, WSD, etc. files, such as the Korg MR-1, MR-1000, Sonic Studio software plugins, etc. (The earliest known ability was on some Sony Vaio something-or-other.) That said, I'm still interested (wouldn't it be nice to be able to EQ without having to convert the data, for example?). Well, by the time I can afford one, it will either be a given, or a foregone conclusion...no, wait, that's a win-win scenario...you know what I mean...it will have either happened, or it won't have...

That sucks and blows, man!!!1!

I got plenty of room in my car, no problem. I don't have much in the way of good solid state amplification, but I'll bring what I have.

Okay, that last quote from Hansen has me convinced, now it's just a matter of saving up funds. Native DSD? I would have thought that was too much to ask.

Not for the bear.
