Steven Seagal:

Thank you, George Benson. The sentiments from "The Greatest Love of All" also remind me of Marvin Gaye's "Save the Children" and Cat Stevens' "Where Do the Children Play"... must have been something in the water. I guess Vietnam, Nixon, the oil crises, stagflation, and a bunch of other stuff was making people give up on the adult generation.

I've noticed AI-colorized and AI-upsampled video and photos appearing on the internet. Perhaps AI-upsampled or AI-mixed multichannel audio (i.e., you can move around virtually in the music venue) will be the successor to high-res audio. In its current state, I don't think most people would say high-res (in any form) has been a commercial success.

Listening to a set of Beyerdynamic Amiron -> Chord Mojo -> Panasonic SL-CT820 was the best "portable" listening I've ever heard... I think some of the high-end Sony Walkman and Astell&Kern players are in that territory, but they've never appealed to me. They would be less cumbersome, though. It might take a while for wireless audio to reach the same heights.

Techmoan does it best (he didn't mention that the high-end PCDPs had line-out and mini-Toslink optical outputs for outboard DACs, but it's not an audiophile channel):

Looks decent, but unimpressive battery life (maybe it would be better with a lower-res display): https://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/framework-laptop-diy-edition-review

Nine Inch Nails – Pretty Hate Machine I have a beat up old CD of this album. It's perfect.
