June Stereophile has a fairly enthusiastic review of the Wavelength Cosecant, with the sidebar that John Atkinson measured the jitter performance as the lowest he'd ever seen on any USB interface. So I guess the particular asynch implementation that Wavelength and Ayre are both using does appear to do more or less what it says on the box.
Interesting to compare with the CA DacMagic, which they also liked on all other inputs but USB.
Got stuck in a traffic jam because Adam Sandler, Kevin James and Rob Schneider were filming a movie in our neighboring town's rather picturesque little white church.
Will be sure to catch that!
I just tell my wife she needs to spend more money on herself, and than keep careful track of the running total of suits, bags, shoes etc. with an eye to balancing it out on the gear side. Everyone's happy.*
* Except the kids, I guess, who will never go to college.
Actually, it's quite cunning. The back piece is not rigid, and it all folds up into a laptop bag. You can keep them in a 5-point harness for a while longer and when they won't stomach that anymore it disassembles into just your basic cushion booster. Good design.
2:30 p.m. Friday. Since this is my first CanJam, I'd like to focus on meeting people and listening to gear*. I'll be more than happy to help out next time around.
* Maybe the odd wine cooler, too.
