'You might very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment'.

Can someone explain why Moore's law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia doesn't seem to apply to the transistors in audio gear? (OK I can understand the concept of amortizing the fixed cost of R&D, over a limited production run, but that's why you use Commercial off-the-shelf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia solutions to solved problems) Comments made in http://www.head-case.org/forums/home-source-components/7298-wavelength-wavelink-asynchronous-usb-s-pdif-converter-2.html apply equally here, I'd Say.

I think we have a new

Oh, its "yours"

So you'd do them, eh

But, it wasn't a DAC. How were you supposed to know?

This thread may help you Radio sound quality as compared to boom - Squeezebox : Community : Forums The original boom white paper describes it in detail http://www.logitechsqueezebox.com/attachments/download/26/Logitech_Squeezebox_Boom_Audio_Design.pdf Which lead to the question (answered by the audio designer) Quote: Originally Posted by gdpeck View Post I'm very curious as to the applicability of this paper to the Radio. Were the same type of design and DSP ideas used in the Radio? I understand that the StereoXL stuff and the subwoofer circuitry won't be there, but does the Radio use the same DAC, crossover, bi-amping, and separate headphone DAC? Thanks! George It uses a single stereo DAC, therefore it does not do the subwoofer mode. It does do the same crossover and bi-amping, which is one of the most critical parts IMO. -Caleb __________________ Caleb Crome Sr. Hardware Engineer

Craz-E Burger: Americans embrace 1,500 calorie doughnut burger Consisting of a bacon cheeseburger with a buttered, grilled and glazed doughnut standing in for a bun, the Craz-E Burger puts such fatty delights as the deep-fried Mars bar in the shade. Its 1,500 calories of sugar and saturated fat did not stop it from becoming a huge hit at a major fair in MasNoNoNoNoNoNosetts. Organisers of the Big E, which finished on Sunday, said visitors bought around 1,000 Craz-E burgers each day of the fair's 17-day run. The fair's website described it as "classic fair food" but noted: "No single ingredient dominates the burger. They all complement each other with artistry expected from a celebrity chef." It added: "The glaze smooths over the burger and oozes into a foreign but delicious combination with the crisp of the bacon." The burger was believed to have been created by a bar owner in Decatur, Georgia, who substituted a doughnuts when he ran out of buns. The restaurant also serves a hamdog, a hotdog wrapped in a beef patty and deep-fried. The Decatur doughnut burger was named the Luther Burger after the singer and record producer Luther Vandross, who is said to be a fan. The Gateway Grizzlies, a minor league baseball team in Illinois, serves the Luther burger at games, piling on further coronary heartache by deep-frying the Krispy Kreme doughnut used as the bun.

The Archive of Misheard Lyrics - KissThisGuy.com Because: Artist: Jimi Hendrix Song: Purple Haze Real Lyric: 'Scuse me while I kiss the sky Misheard Lyric: 'Scuse me while I kiss this guy User: Anonymous Genre: Rock Frequently Asked Questions for KissThisGuy.com Q: How did this whole thing come about? A: The archive started as a spontaneous idea originating out of the Birdhouse Arts Collective in September, 1995. The concept was inspired by the mother of a close friend of the founder, who confessed to us that, as a young girl, she had thought that the old church song "A little walk with Jesus" was called "A little chocolate Jesus." In fact, she never realized her error until she was almost 45 years old. The collection of misheard lyrics was later moved to the web. In late 2006, the site became too large for just a couple of people and was acquired by HumorBox Entertainment. The founder and HumorBox Entertainment have begun rolling out major changes to site – too many to name here. Stay tuned and stop by daily to participate and enjoy with friends and family. Q: Is there a technical name for these mishearances? A: Well, not a technical name as in psychology terminology, but there is an anecdotal name -- they're called mondegreens, and it's all explained at Mondegreens Ripped My Flesh. They even have one of the old time classics Search term: my ears are alight Total Found: 1 (1 displayed).

At least you got the "first scratch on my shiny new car" episode over and done with, and in some style. (You call that a scratch!).

Obviously it will need matching accessories. "For audiophiles looking for tweaking their computer cables, Kimber was showing the new silver wire USB cables ($125 per meter) and you can use then with or without ferrites." RMAF 2009 Rocky Mountain Audio Fest Show Event Coverage

Opened several cans of worms, got shots of a Kinder, Gentler Empire than I seem to remember from my youth.

... At which point we've moved from a push based protocol (which was reasonable when you we're reading pits on a spinning disk, with a laser, in real time) (with no re transmit / error correction) to a classic pull based Producer-consumer problem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The sad part is that its taken this long.

I was reminded of the quote "SPDIF is so bad it has given birth to its own Snake Oil ecosystem. Here is a monument to it : from The Extremist DAC

Wow, quite the discussion I appear to have sparked. I appreciate not all use cases are the same, but given the availability of things like, say Virtual Village - US | USB Mini Converter to SPDIF Output for $32, is that "good enough" to solve the problem at hand. If jitter on the input S/PDIF is an issue, get something with a word clock input, and clock your audio bits, using the clock on your DAC. problem solved. If your DAC uses ASRC, or reclocks the incoming bits, why are we having this conversation? And why would you want your noisy, RMI/EMI emitting computer, within the maximum length of a usb cable, electrically coupled to your dac? Just some thoughts to play with

Anyone find the price of this excessive, given the price of a squeezebox (or SB touch) which can be considered an async TCP/IP to S/PDIF (and toslink) converter? or am I missing something?
