Yeah, but even more so, if that is possible. I was doing a bit more reading and I'm pretty sure he is hitting those levels on purpose... it sounds like crap on my gear. I enjoy his music, but the distortion is awful.

I bought Cosmogramma a few years ago and I noticed it is recorded at a deafening level. Other people seemed to have picked up on this as well. Does anyone else think his albums are too loud? I have to turn the volume to nearly zero just to listen to the CD. Some people think the clipping is intentional...

Shpongle – Museum of Consciousness

Oppo added some details to the UDP-205 page: http://oppodigital.com/blu-ray-udp-205/blu-ray-udp-205-Overview.aspx

Who says millenials are lazy?

Funny – I just put Supernature in the CD player and now I must buy Silver Eye. A glass of Knappogue Castle doesn't hurt the experience, either.

DJ Shadow – Endtroducing

I was saying "boo urns."

Not sure if the Apple AirPods present a similar risk.

I think I'll stick with wired headphones for now: http://www.theverge.com/2017/3/15/14938788/headphones-explosion-airplane-sleeping-woman

Kylie Minogue – Light Years

A strangely late review of the Oppo BDP-105D: http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/oppo-bdp-105d-audiophile-blu-ray-disc-player/ They probably should have reviewed it before it went out of production.

The Violinist's Thumb by Sam Kean

Groove Armada – Vertigo I'm late to the afterparty, as usual...

The Specials (1979)

I'll pick up the new Trinity Sessions SACD as soon as it's available here. St. Germain – Tourist Almost ludicrously overexposed at your nearest book store/coffee shop/clothing retailer/etc., but a great album nonetheless.

The Grassy Knoll – Positive One of my all-time favorite albums

Thanks for the tip. I was getting overly excited when I found out that all pre-2016 MacBooks also have an optical jack in their headphone out... the lure of the new toy. The stuff on my computer is 320 kbps AAC, so nothing special, but my setup has been the same for a long time. It wouldn't be a good idea to have such an expensive gadget on my desk at work, though.

I listened to the Mojo at a local headphone specialist shop and I was blown away. We hooked the Mojo up to my Panasonic SL-CT820 portable CD player using an optical cable listening out of the Beyerdynamic Amiron headphone and I had that Eureka! moment... the Mojo was immediately, obviously better than the PCDP's output in every audible dimension. I'll buy one as soon as I'm able to afford one.

Pizzicato Five – The Sound of Music

Belleruche – Turntable Soul Music http://belleruche.com/about/

The White Stripes (1999) A co-worker borrowed De Stilj (on CD) and now I am really missing it.

Various Artists – Songs from the Cool World
