Dusty has obviously never had to watch a kid for more than a couple hours.

Kitty!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't have to worry about it if she's half as big as either one, right?

I will officially not be attending, nor will I be able to attend any of the panel discussions, and neither will my cat.

But it does prevent spontaneous combustion, so there's that.

Oh, I already don't know why I postponed setting it up this long. But believe it or not, I keep my head-casing to ... not just one window, but one tab in one window.

I'm going to have nightmares about that.

As Monsieur de la sammich says, that is how we roll here. When you're doing something like this ("being helpful"), don't worry too much about multiple posts. But in general, if you're going to make a long extended post, it's best to do it in a different application (e.g. notepad, vi, whatever), then copy & paste.

Yeah, I think I'll wait -- thanks for reinforcing the warnings, guys. I can't really afford to brick (or even render temporarily brick) my iPhone right now.

Баста on YouTube (Russian rap artist).

My russian is weak at best. But what little I got was, indeed, hilarious.

Tried to get used to this Kensington Expert Mouse (the one with the huge ball). No scroll wheel == might have to move it back to a secondary. Also trying to get used to this two-monitor setup at work -- I keep overshooting the right side of the screen of the left, primary one.

I would start looking in the professional forums. M-Audio is just the entry level device for that. Apogee Rosetta would be a good choice.

The article is about the MR-1, but there's also the MR-1000 and now the MR-2000S. But I agree with grawk -- look elsewhere. It's probably pretty high-end for its pricepoint, but otherwise limited.

Well, no, you don't have to convert it to PCM, but what you do have to do, if you want to hear it in native DSD, is play it back on the Korg itself, but that's about it. It's a good solution if you want to do nothing but record and playback, and nothing else. I sure hope you can offload the files, somehow, though.

Not arguing with you, the following is a sincere question -- isn't there a natural low-pass filter built into all equipment? I mean, don't they all -- unless they say that their bandwidth extends beyond 20kHz -- limit those upper frequencies somewhat (and when I say somewhat, I mean significantly)? And I'm not saying this as a non-sequitur, I mean to say that it's enough so that it renders this issue moot? I can confirm what you're saying about DSD by the way -- one of the British mags (I forget which one -- either Hi-Fi News or Hi-Fi Choice -- probably whichever one usually does the measurements) was posting an article in almost every issue there for a while about it. But then all the amp failures failed to start showing up (with SACD), so I think they kind of got over it. (I also seem to remember them thinking that it should destroy certain kinds of tweeters, too. Or maybe it was the amp/tweeter combination that destroyed the amp. I don't remember...)

...which only bats can hear.

Actually, it runs on your computer, so...no problem.

You mean the MSB, right? I think Justin is the only one who's owned one, but that means that a lot of us got to hear it at meets. It's a world class DAC.

nvm, too

Someone at the PDX meet had a Manley Stingray driving them, a combination I intend to try, myself, perhaps even this weekend. They regularly go for < US$1500, used.

Awesome -- I'm just glad to see someone getting something good out of all of this.

Well, after sampling the new one, I like the first one better, but it's different -- more disco-y, less experimental. Which is odd, because I usually prefer experimental. But it's got a charisma that the new one doesn't -- with admittedly only one listen. I'll probably still get it.
