Shows how out of the loop I usually am. I didn't know that Tyll had parted ways with Headroom, either. Their loss. Tyll is one of the good guys for sure. I definitely wish you all the best in whatever you end up doing if you read this, Tyll.

Good question. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=19461718#post19461718 Everyone should just keep an eye on the very first post of that thread because the OP constantly updates it as the "go to FAQs" for the player. Here's one thing I saw in there that might hopefully answer your question or at least give you a little more to work with: I could be reading this wrong but I would have figured they would have kept this thing as wide open and mainstream as possible for a lot of users and I think that's what that says to me and that you and pretty much everyone else should be good to go right out of the box.

Let me see if I can help you save a little time there: OPPO BDP-93 Blu-ray Disc Player Oppo officially announces BDP-93 Blu-ray player, shows off full specs -- Engadget HD I'm on the list myself.

This might turn some heads around here: Official OPPO BDP-93 Owner's Thread - AVS Forum ^^ I know this poster well. You can take his word to the bank. I practically wonder if he works for Oppo but he's certainly been a long time beta tester, loyalist and I guess quasi insider. Bottom line: Very credible. This could end up being an attractive all in one for a number of folks at this rate. http://www.oppodigital.com/blu-ray-bdp-93/ I recommend registering here if you're interested in buying this player.

There's a lot of great values like these out there. They aren't waiting until Black Friday and Cyber Monday to start the nice sales.

Happy Birthday!

My head was spinning on several parts of it myself, but then again, this IS Six Moons we're talking about and by now I think Ebaen is a well known quantity. You know what you're going to get when you read something from him. Mr. Levin is known as a genius and I wouldn't dare try to argue tech points with someone like him but...ADDING jitter? *grimaces*

Wrong product thread but thanks for the heads up. http://www.head-case.org/forums/home-source-components/6148-antelope-audio-dacs-5.html Maybe some mod can work some magic here. Relevant to this thread: Good enough for me.

Looking around, this thing seems to be the go-to darling for people that just want a USB only DAC.

Great feedback! I'd like to get in a situation like that myself where I could take some other goodies for a test spin and do a little comparison myself. Obviously the usual "people have different tastes/all the gear in the food chain" disclaimers have to come into play here but thankfully there's a lot of choice. Since I live practically in the boondocks "spending big bucks to audition" is about the only option I've got. For me in my setup (key phrase) what I'm personally hearing with this Wyred DAC-2...I'd have to hear something pretty damned earth shatteringly incredible to make me want to unseat it out of here and sell it but hey, you never know, right? No idea if it really matters but I'm probably north of 50 hours easy of total use on this DAC-2 so far. Gosh, I've had it for a month already. I could be close to a 100 hours by now. The literature suggests that 100-200 hours of burn in use is where differences really start to show up for whatever that's worth. They even say themselves that inside the first 100 hours things might sound a little "bright with harsh transitions." Personally I haven't noticed anything terribly bright or harsh but then again, I was coming off a fairly bright source in the Cambridge 840c. The DAC 1 and 2 are also "upgradeable."

It's part of the DAC-2. It's not an add on. I've been using it and really using this piece a lot and very much enjoying it. I really couldn't be happier. Easily the best electronics purchase I've made since I bought my Head Amp GS-X a few years ago.

Do you have any personal experience with the headphone that's the subject of this thread? What are you contributing to the thread? Portable headphones supposedly made well is proof that they can make good high end $3000 headphones? That's kind of a reach IMO. Then please audition some and let us know what you think since it's apparently so easy for you to do so.

No kidding. I've been using Carbonite for about 6 months now and twice now it's saved my ass. What happened to you?

Nope.

That picture of..whatever the hell that stuff is...in post 15 by Voltron really did make me wanna spew a little bit.

Happy Birthday!

^^ Posts like these remind me why I like this place. Luv, I'll spot you that buck myself. Whaddya say?

Think he'll make a move on these?

Ah. Well, that clears that all up!

Ultrasone Edition 10 Headphones are $2700! - I4U News Ultrasone Offers First Open Back Headphone - Gearlog [H]ard|OCP - $2,750 Headphones Read the comments thread if you have a little time. Screenshots | [H]ard|OCP ^^ Large, sexy picture. It's a big enough picture I didn't do IMG code in case it broke H-scrolls. Google it. It's all over the Internet. I know the brand has a fairly good reputation but that's about it. That kind of price tag makes me want to run and hide under my bed. So which of you brave souls are going to take the plunge on these?

Nice all the way around.

Could be. Amazing the price gouging already starting to happen on these and the 80s. I could put my 18 month old 83 up on Amazon or Flea Bay right now, advertise it truthfully as like new or close to it, in the box, all the cables, goodies, etc. and I bet I could get at least original MSRP back in my pocket the way it's already shaping up.

2012-13 ish?
