Oh fuck! I thought you said Putin.

But I cleaned it up myself.

Yeah, but now it's easier with cellphone cameras. You don't have to dress up and hold the same pose for 15 minutes anymore.

Elephas, is that you?

Who says I haven't already built 3 of them?

The Pootie Pie is a streamer, but I am not sure how that would really differ from a wireless sound card. If you use Roopiee XL You are not restricted to Roon. You can use it any way you use an Airplay, DLNA or Spotify endpoint. So you basically hook it up to a DAC and push music to it using any DLNA or Airplay compliant app.

This again. Just assume this is on constant rotation for the next month. Doesn’t rise to Jenny Lewis’ last, but perhaps more fitting in these smaller, breakup-with-the-past, Corona-days. Shades of Kathleen Edwards.

"Bixby, Tell Brent to DIAF" "I can do that"

I'm not even sure that I can "hold the same pose" for 15 minutes anymore. I'll let both of us know the answer to that, very soon after this damned virus is in check. My sincere apologies for hijacking this thread well beyond it's intended destination.

I fixed my post above.

Below is Marc's post about building a Roon endpoint. If you install Roopiee XL you will be able to stream using Airplay, DLNA and Spotify, in addition to Roon. It is really easy, even I was able to build two of them. Also known as a Pootie Pie.

@MexicanDragon, I'm not your Google.

Hope that helps! I'm also disappoint @Grahame for not dumping the links.

Thanks Brent! Good point about the ear buds. This is doable.

listened to a lot of Peter in my day and watched a lot of Regis back in the day RIP entertainers

BBC News - Peter Green: Fleetwood Mac co-founder dies aged 73 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-53539989 https://www.guitarworld.com/news/peter-green-fleetwood-mac-co-founder-and-british-blues-icon-dies-aged-73 RIP Peter

Now that I've finished the home renovations and the work has slowed (I cross my fingers so there is no Covid regrowth), I've been able to make up time to listen to music and dedicate myself to my DIY projects. Today I'm listening Opeth "Blackwater Park"

Show's up on Mixcloud:

FTFM

Sansui AU-717 amp, TU-417 tuner, and SC-3110 tape deck.

The first two look interesting and they both use ESS Sabre chips so I know I like that sound (if properly utilized). The Schiit does not do DSD (as far as I can tell) which makes it non comparable since I am looking at affordable DACs that do native DSD. Here is the Mytek on the iFi rack

Why break a trend?

Actress Olivia de Havilland, possibly last of Old Hollywood, dies at 104 https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-12717233 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-53546021 Born in Tokyo, grew up in California, settled in Paris. De Havilland’s specialty was the demure, soulful beauty. “Playing bad girls is a bore,” she once claimed. “I have always had more luck with good-girl roles, because they require more from an actress.” But the actor’s soft exterior concealed a core of steel. In the 1940s she successfully sued Warner Bros in a landmark ruling that helped break the stranglehold of the US studio system. As a side note, when younger and I needed an alternative name for a variety of reasons, it was Max Havilland, the last name from her.
