Hodor! Contains copious cursing. And stupidity.

First off, I'm about as much of a DIY audio builder as I am a bronze sculptor. Secondly, I recently bought an enclosure from dsavitsk that has some parts in it that were once a DAC. Specifically, it needs a 12AX7 tube and a CS8412 chip. The tube I have already of course. I did some shopping on the 'Bay and found what I believe is the right DAC chip for $6 from a Chinese seller. The rest of the iterations mentioned in this post are strictly for academic purposes. I'm genuinely curious what the differences (if any) are. The version I bought. CS8414CS for $13 The main difference here is that this one can speak hibit (24/96) and purports to have lower jitter. I assume that in order facilitate high bitrate playback, the rest of the digital circuit would have to support it as well? DIR9001 to CS8412 or CS8414 Pro Version Converter Board for $70. This is either serious business or an enabler of audiophilia nervosa. Look, it has capacitors on it! My question is this: What are the realworld differences between these chip iterations? Is there something major I'm missing? Would there be any detectable difference in them when placed in a circuit designed to use a CS8412?

I'm actually looking into some options like that. The main issue is that I mix in the analogue domain, so I need to set up an ADC/re-encode and server box. I'm hoping my Wheezy old Wintel can do it because AAPL has clearly delayed the release of the next Mac Pro until they finish building Robot Jobs. When the FCC renewed our license in 2008 (a process that lasted through 2010) they informed us that we're no longer allowed to broadcast during June, July and August. No one else is allowed to make use of FM channel 207 (89.3MHz) during that time, but it's against FCC regulations for us to use our own of frequency space in the summer months. The official reason, as best I can make out is because we're a low (150) wattage college station and they don't like us. During the renewal process the FCC suits were at pains to let us know that they no longer give out the kind of license we have and the only reason we get to keep it is the fact that WAMH has been around since 1948. The fact is that the FCC is a wholly owned subsidiary of corporate radio giants like Clear Channel and Infinity. Tiny college stations like WAMH are a thorn in the side of the beast, so why not make out lives as difficult as possible. Ahem. Images. AAPL's earnings report included phrase 'LOL U MAD BRO?' GoT themed wedding cake.

There really is no redeeming reason for me to post this GIF. The 'Bridge of Sighs' 1905. This covered passage connected the Tombs prison and Manhattan Criminal Courts building. Still on the air for a bit. This might be the last show until September.

^^ sig worthy.

GoT Bingo: Sup, Heads? My radio show is on the air right now, in Case you wanted to listen.

Tombs Prison. 1905. The view down Centre Street at Leonard Street

"Gods help you Theon Greyjoy, now you are truly lost." Crank this up to 1080p and listen using a good pair of cans. Or Harbeths. Or whatever.
