  8. Jacob, I think you can deal with this as long as you think it's worth it. Maybe she just needs a better doc and fine tuning her meds. Best wishes mate, I know quite well how hard it's living with unstable people. It isn't easy, probably a matter of patience, intelligence, and lots of love. I'm sure you have a good deal of all those
  9. Think about it. Now stop thinking about it...

  19. Sorry, Jacob. Fortunately she didn't break the jaw. No stitches, just glue? I wish she heals well and quickly
  20. My bad, I didn't word it right. I've tried it, I'm listening to quite some DSD rips lately. What I meant was that I can't find any difference from playing native DSD into the Mytek, or playing the 24/88 FLAC files made from the DSD.
  21. Brent, that's awesome. Some help on your fund too
  22. Happy Birthday, Kevin!!!!
  23. Just wanted to comment about the Myted 192DSD. As you know at other forum there's people who didn't like it at all, although I didn't find all those nasties, mainly harsh treble and lean bass. IMO the thing sounds in the detailed studio-stuff side of things, but pretty enjoyable to these aging ears. None the less, I read there also about a setting which may be changed, which has some repercussion on sound quality. It's just changing 4 jumpers position to lower the DAC chip output, I guess that by lowering its reference voltage. This lowers the analog output too. Since I found the "normal" output a bit hot compared to normal 2V RMS output devices, even compared to the DA-11 set at 3V RMS (Bidat's output level), I decided to give the setting a try. It makes for a very welcome difference. I'd say the benefit is mostly in the bass, which becomes bolder, more natural, then producing the effect of damping a bit the perceived detail and eventually the "trebleness". The Mytek still has a higher output level than the Lavry set at 2V RMS output. I don't think that at the default setting it's clearly overloading the amp's input, but it's possible the overloaded part is the DAC's PS hence producing an inferior sound quality. The Benchmark DAC2 was among my other options, but since I didn't like the DAC-1 very much, I thought giving the Mytek a try was worth it. Either way the FW connection is a very welcome feature in this current setup. The DSD thing is fun too, but I'm rather hesitant that playing DSD rips in its native format has any benefit compared to a well processed 24/88 file from it.
  24. RIP
  25. Have a great ride, Jeff.
