I only want things with lights.

I love Christopher Walken. Every now and then I can do a better than mediocre Christopher Walken impression.

Don't boss us.

And on of these.

I AM MID-FI!

Done. With all that Amazon cash flowing in to the site, this should be a piece of cake.

Ridiculous. These are computers, dammit! Computers can do anything.

^Well done. I still recall with pleasure my listening session with the K1000 through the 307A at CJ08.

It's out there mocking me.

No, I just said I was going to buy one about 1000 times. I don't anticipate owning it for long, but I think it will be helpful to me because so many others have owned some flavor of the Parasound DACs that it will help me establish a point of reference. In other words, I wanted it.

I can't believe I bought a Parasound D/AC 1000.

I hate Sound by Singer.

PARASOUND D/AC-1000

Team Extreme Tweaking?

Am I crazy to be tempted by the EQ?

What happened to the AR DAC 7, Jeff?

Jeff, is your LCD still flaky?

Connaker's review is pretty good. But I agree that he should have expanded on the above, especially w/r/t the Alpha. That seems like a fair comparison. At least Connaker was able to get past the fact that this is (gasp!) a USB DAC--as one would expect given the context in which he is reviewing. Too many reviewers are reviewing it as a DAC that can't be compared to others that use more "traditional" digital inputs.

I have the Bryston. Now I need the Ayre. But not really. I got a great deal on the Bryston. But I need the Ayre. No I don't.

Ack, sorry to hear that Nate. Next time we need to fly Deepak to you. Probably would be shorter and more convenient (well, maybe not for Deepak). Best wishes for a speedy recovery. As for us, we went to Governor's Island today for the final day before it closes for the season. We had fun.

For a while I hated trackpads, and I still dislike them in many ways. I found ThinkPads to have the best pointing devices.
