  1. I have not had good success with OCR, and it needs to be 100% reliable. I don't want to have to check every single image file created for every little detail. Just an image is all I need. These will be receipts, which get subjected to the usual wear and tear of a paper receipt.

    Have you given ABBYY FineReader a shot? I've heard good things for it's PDF handling and OCR.

  2. I have a bunch of IEC power cords here, I'll bring one along when I head over tomorrow. It's a computer power cable though, and the left over bits in the power cord may or may not affect your enjoyment of music from your device. ;)

  3. Almost as far as this man

    Is anyone from the UK attending Canjam? - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio

    According to Distance Calculator: How Far Is It? — Infoplease.com

    Hastings, United Kingdom (Populated Place, United Kingdom) -> Los Angeles, California (Populated Place) = 5507.5 Miles

    Aomori, Japan (Railroad Station, Japan) -> Los Angeles, California (Populated Place) = 5245.3 Miles

    I think we have a winner!

    So whats with all the "I have a family" or "It's too far" excuses now ;D

    To be precise, I'm taking a flight from Aomori down to Haneda, taking a transfer to Narita, then flying out.

    So the actual distance traveled in flights alone would be:

    Aomori Railroad Station, Japan (Railroad Station, Japan) -> Haneda, Japan (Section Of Populated Place, Tokyo) Distance: 368.3 miles

    Narita, Japan (Second-Order Administrative Division, Japan) -> Los Angeles, California (Populated Place) Distance: 5455.6 miles

    5823.9 miles :)

  4. Yeah, between that thread and the Valab DAC mod thread (Valab NOS DAC - subjective listening and modifications - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio), plenty of crud on the inside of the monitor (great analogy by the way... my monitor is glad I wasn't drinking coffee when I read it :P). I keep getting the visual of jumping the shark in that one, but decided better to just stay out of these types of threads and treat them as a car crash in progress.

    Interconnect with a toroid inline? I've never heard of that...

  5. Yeah, the wire is stored in my basement (where all evil things belong) and the basement is colder. So in truth we use a semi-cryo process which offers the benefit of cryo while not going too far. Really, it's the perfect blend of cryo/non-cryo technology.

    Wait, you mean you have a balanced blend of cryo/non-cryo technology? I heard everything is better balanced! :eek:

  6. There was some definite fuzziness with the Class A talk, first it sounded like they were saying the DAC chip was running in class A, then the power supply was class A...

    I prefer my DAC chips to run in class D...for digital! :)
