There's something wrong with the lot of you whose first thoughts went in this direction. My dick ain't goin' anywhere near that.

She needs Darwin's law imposed on her.

Yeah, I figured it might be something like "a/c is easier to work with".

, just

Exists, I forget the name of the company though. I distinctly remember a pic from a trade show where it looked like you had to wade through car batteries, they had that many. But I didn't think they had implemented it perfectly -- they used it to generate A/C, and then you know 90% of the internal power supplies converted it back to DC -- why didn't they just run it at DC to begin with? Strikes me as more efficient, though I could be wrong.

No, no birdshit.

No worse than iTunes.

Prog and prog/metal phase: Cynic, Demians, Maserati, looking forward to the new porcupine tree, been actually enjoying the new Dream Theater, etc.

I'm not sure I wanna finish watching that video.

I remember seeing a 24/192 USB recently...forget where, unfortunately...recent issue of Absolute Sound, which had a thing on USB DACs? Will look later.

I have a friend who had the same problem when he heard that Kronos Quartet and Tom Waits played together (they did, but "...at the same festival", not actually at the same time). And I don't think you want to lock anyone alone in a room with Bob Mould.

Alright, here's my Grado HF-2 impression: (ahem) Hey, look, I'm a Grado HF-2! End of impression.

I've heard good things about them. The only problem with them is that unlike the Martin Logans, they're not curved and unlike (I forget the brand) speakers, they don't have the concentric circles, so they beam like crazy.

Looks more like 5kHz to me, and from here:

That can't be good.

Once a month sherpas? Nice. Is this a time-share?

Depends what algorithm you use. If you use one that invents data, then you have, indeed, gained information. Fictitious information, agreed...as to whether or not it is superior or inferior to the input is subjective. Well then, don't. I explained one or two possible scenarios, but if you don't want to be convinced, then I'll stop trying to teach the pig to sing.

No, but feel free to start your own thread and ask for suggestions. Have you no vinyl whatsoever? I'd start with some classics: Pink Floyd, Animals Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon Mike Oldfield, Tubular Bells Personal favorites: Talk Talk, Spirit of Eden Talk Talk, The Colour of Spring

10 years? Jesus, Dusty WANT. I'm lucky if I last a couple of years with my duffles/briefcases/manbags/whatevers.

I'm not sure I see how you get to your "if A then B" B. If you're upsampling in software, then you're probably not doing anything to the driver. Large amounts of data, yes, unnecessary -- well, only if you don't care about upsampling, in which case, why are you upsampling? And now you're at 24/96, not 16/44.1, I don't see how that can amplify the potentional for audible jitter. Going from 16/44.1 to 24/96 -- in, for example, the Monarchy DIP -- inherently reduces jitter (some people use it mostly as a jitter reducer, not because they believe in upsampling). Depends on whether you believe the DAC's upsampling algorithm is superior to whatever software you plan on using. Transmorphicalization?

Scratched? Bummer. Or "brushed"? Did you get them used? I think PriceJapan is just a clearing house for multiple merchants, so...which merchant?

Sounds like they're not compatible. Try a cheap PATA/IDE card?

So the ones I was listening to were the bowls?

And a lot cheaper.
