I am back to using the Oppo 105 as my do-everything workhorse. I really didn't hear that much of a difference between the Oppo and the Yggy and the Oppo just does so much more feature-wise. 90% of my listening these days is Tidal streaming and I can do it right on the Oppo and control it from Oppo's mobile/tablet apps. Is the sound quality as good as Vinyl or DSD rips? No. But I end up listening to so much music I'd never otherwise buy so I can't see myself doing anything but streaming going forward.

I'm actually going to skip the upgrade on the Gungnir MB I use at the office. Honestly, it sounds like a solution to a problem I don't have. I am less and less trusting of the hype and claims coming out of Schiit these days.

His best album? I think it gets my vote.

Rip to Mr. Landau and Mr. Romero. Landau had so many great roles its hard to keep track while Romero's "Dead" trilogy is maybe my favorite horror series of all time.

More Can, please!

If there is better music to listen to than Krautrock while cranking out legal documents I have not yet heard it.

Attended the first meeting of the Marin County 4k OLED owners group over lunch. Also in attendance were a British ex-pat and a tall guy.

Also this: Fabulous live album!

I'm with Dan on this. If you already own a DSLR then the cameras on the current-gen flagship phones have all but killed the need for a point-and-shoot.

New Broken Social Scene on Tidal.

In going from a vintage mid-2000's Panasonic plasma to a brand new OLED TV the biggest thing that stands out to me isn't the 4k resolution, its how good the lighting looks in HDR content. My goodness is HDR ever a game changer (at least for me). Thankfully almost every show Netflix and Amazon makes has HDR now. Some of my PS4 games also seem to have HDR patched in, and they look phenomenal as well. I don't see myself ever buying a 4k blu-ray player, but I would be curious to see HDR movies going forward.

Birthday Ride around Gran Canaria today?

Happy birthday! Party like a viking!

Amazing looking digs, Prof. Harvey. Good luck!

My first response was for Peter, for what it's worth.

Is there such a thing in a consumer facing product?

^ I don't normally listen to this kind of stuff but this album is pretty great!

CP3 to the Rockets. Jimmy Butler to the T-Wolves. PG-13 to the ________. #1 pick in the draft traded. and we haven't even hit free agency yet. God, I love the NBA.

Happy birthday, Justin!

Caught up on episodes 5-8 of Twin Peaks. This show is fucking nuts! I honestly have no idea what anyone must think who isn't a huge fan/very familiar with the earlier show. They are moving fast (on a million different story threads) and not slowing down for anyone. The bands at the Bang Bang to end each episode is so sick and is probably my single favorite thing about the new season.

Chicago needs a rebuild of its front office. What a robbery. Levine and Dunn don't really project out to be starters, and for the two of them plus #7 they traded one of the best two-way wings in the game? Jeez. EDIT: Nice take on the trade (as usual) by Zach Lowe: http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/page/presents-19712292/zach-lowe-jimmy-butler-trade-future-minnesota-timberwolves-chicago-bulls-nba

Agreed. It may be Waters' best album in 30 years, but that doesn't make it that great. I was disappointed.

Celebrated Father's Day with my parents in the blazing inferno. The car said 114 and may have been more accurate. I can see Stretch getting in a whole heap of trouble up here on a regular basis real soon.
