Congrat CJ. Does this mean you'll now have time to top the leader boards in CS as "Dr CJ", or CJ, PhD. ? Life moves on.

^indeed Steve Jobs has vowed never to visit Japan again after being prevented from leaving the country with a set of ninja throwing stars, according to a local magazine. The Apple CEO apparently had a set of shuriken in his carry-on luggage when he was returning from a family vacation by private jet in July, according to SPA magazine via a Bloomberg report. They were picked up by a security scan and officials insisted he give them up. Jobs apparently took umbrage at the request, arguing, quite logically, that it was hardly a security risk as he was unlikely to hijack his own plane. When officials refused to budge, he apparently threw the death stars away - presumably very slowly so as not to kill anyone - and declared he would not return to the country. Steve Jobs carried 'ninja throwing stars' in hand luggage ? The Register

Sennheiser 800: Time to go balanced. Options.
You plug one of these (or similar) into the 4 pin socket 4 pin gives you 4 connectors (2 independent wires per ear, which can be connected as required) . you can also wire this to a 3 pin trs (shared ground/return) - but you can't do this the other way round. which was the whole point in re-terminating the stock cable, which is already 4 conductor for its whole length up to the stock end. Terminate with a 4 pin xlr + then you can add which ever end termination / adaption you want, rather than have to get a new single function terminated cable for each configuration. Make sense?

Why not just re-terminate the stock HD800 cables with a 4 pin xlr adapter + then make (re use) the single ended + add 2 x 3 pin xlr ends? like some other people have done.

Why do so few DACs support 88.2 and/or 176.4 kHz?
Redbook was 44.1Khz , so they could record digital audio on "Video Recorders". 48 Khz was for DAT, Digital Audio Tape - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - so you couldn't easily make a digital copy of a CD using DAT 2-35] Why 44.1KHz? Why not 48KHz? My how technology has changed things. The using integer multiples for sample rates is also known as "not making up stuff that wasn't part of the original signal" , or "better" if you prefer You'll need some sort of crystal and clock divider to get a clock signal for your DAC, hence the need for multiple crystals as the clock rates are not integer multiples.
