It would be a shame to have a top notch dac that you can't use with a good amp when possible. I mean, you do amazing things with the tiny amp section in that amp, but if given a choice, I'd still rather use a better amp when given a chance.
Yah toslink isn't well suited to high traffic areas, or for plugging/replugging often, etc. You should see the industrial strength fiber cables we ran at one site...they were 1" thick, almost entirely rubber.
Use glass cable, and you can go as long as you'd like. Admittedly, it's for storage and not music, but since that's MORE prone to error, and goes WAY faster, it's a reasonable test, and I've got 90m cables. Fiber is WAY more resistant to degradation than usb/copper.
Oh btw dusty, there's a great indian place over in clocktower in herndon, if you're ever out that way. Maharaja, maybe? I dunno, I forget the name, but clocktower shopping center on herndon parkway
Well, seafood basil. And they're almost as good as my favorite thai places, in greensboro nc and fairbanks ak.
I have to say, fresh coho salmon red curry is better than anything at thai pillin
it's the only way I've ever been able to drop weight. I can maintain without much trouble, but I'm not a salad type of person. so when the choice is between dropping the steak or dropping the potato, it's no question...
