... but if you have the files there are commercial DXD DACs to play them. DXD is usually 352.8/24 DSD is usually 2822.4/1

In breaking news Antelope comes out swinging with a 256xDSD DAC (err... is that triple or quadruple DSD?).

Russian dash cams are getting more interesting.

If you Google image search 'Pono' you may not have to wait.

Just a probably obvious note: there's a difference between streaming and progressive streaming (sometimes called progressive download). One maintains a constant stream across network bandwidth changes (through bitrate adjustments) and one maintains a constant bitrate across stream changes (often through buffering). Hulu, Netflix, YouTube, etc. often uses a combination, but the relationship between the two can be used to get to a target even faster than you technically could with just bandwidth. If general quality expectations rise quicker than buffering irritations for instance. Not that any of this has to do with pure music file downloads now. That said increasingly files with wrappers and codecs with metadata at the start of the file can be decoded on the fly. So would people care if an album took hours to download if they could listen to it during? May be some synergistic progress along with bandwidth increases coming.

So Pono is "Soul Quality" then. Cool.

Didn't we have some of these debates recently between the 24/96 and 24/192 PCM points? From hearing tests to Dan Larvy data corruption comments didn't stop files or most DACs sitting at 24/96. And do we know what Pono actually is yet? Is it simply 24/192 PCM with a new wrapper?

The Internet can be trusted...

To the fallen. Tradition lately seems to have become reminding people (even with good intentions) the difference between Veteran's Day and Memorial Day.

Ouch. Best of luck and non-detailed thoughts your way. Also there's a Kidney Stone Belt? http://ncpedia.org/kidney-stone-belt

Thanks Grahame. Not surprisingly works wherever you can add an address (WunderRadio on iOS, etc.).

You have a great time? Damn, I miss Cedar Point. Frontiertown still exist?
