What are you listening to Part the Third
Stuck. And the correct terminology is "Someone should stick this thread." Me: Little Boots/Gary Numan collaboration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWL6gsUoNFw, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEQW4lnonno, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EETEv1Xt4WY, and a bonus, (w/just Gary Numan).

Another new DAC... Tent Labs w/USB
Nice specs, and I approve of the color scheme.
-
And now what did you do TODAY?
My thoughts exactly. Not verbatim, but...close enough. I think I might have said, "yeezh" instead of "sheesh".

Monster on the prowl again.
So say we all. I'm so glad we have you, Tyll.

What are you drinking now, pt 2.
Had some more Eau de Cookie II last night. It was better than it was the previous night -- I can't imagine beer needing to "breathe", though.

CES - Anyone else here?
Tyll's there somewhere. Live updates!
-
What are you EATING right now?
Tuna salad samich. You mean, "when...".

Do Transports Matter--or are bitses bitses?
Regarding the video/shootout -- I wish they had used a higher-res source -- analog/live sound, perhaps? I mean, they have a whole studio around them. Running a CD (16/44.1) into a high-res convertor doesn't make me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Monster on the prowl again.
Actually, I think Al was trying to say he suspects Monster is going to go after them, not that they have already.

What are you listening to Part the Third
Little Boots, Hands -- synthpop on the order of Goldfrapp, Kylie, et al. Quite retro and very pop, but with some strong songwriting underneath: Little Boots - Stuck on Repeat

Monster on the prowl again.
And the stylized "s" logo is a little too close to what would be the font for the Beats "b" -- this is one lawsuit I actually think is Monster's.

That's actually pretty cool. They also have Owl w/headphones.

We were getting a lot of double-posts, and we're seeing if keeping the threads shorter helps with that, because it seemed to be more with the longer threads.

Do Transports Matter--or are bitses bitses?
Actually, you're kind of agreeing. The alternative viewpoint could be phrased thusly: ...they won't sound different, then they probably won't. And I don't know of any DBT that could refute that particular placebo effect. And kudos to all for keeping this potential charged subject civil. Cheers!

Not necessarily the same, this is more about the DACses than about the transports: pro HD shootout.

What are you listening to Part the Third
Enemy of the Sun, Caedium -- quite easily album of the week for me. Nicely complex metal without being "math metal", and the vocals aren't laughably bad.

Are you sure about this? I thought they had to be bit-perfect in order for DTS to work. I thought running a DTS DVD (or CD, if you can find one) into a DTS-decoding receiver was another way to check bit-perfection.

Anything better than a Benchmark DAC1 HDR
Somehow I missed this first time through -- the addition of USB (async, no less -- really?!?!? (becomes excited like a puppy wagging his tail)) is a definite plus. Should be on anyone's short list in the market (I no longer am, but if I come into some money somehow, then I'd probably seriously consider it).

Apple Tablet
She's pretty great. Reminds me of Mary Ford w/Les Paul, mostly due to the self-harmonizing, but the fact that it's a good song to begin with doesn't hurt.

What to do next?
hemce, support headcase!

What are you listening to Part Two
Crematory, Black Pearls

slow forum
They misspelled Hackensack. Or they ran out of C's. Of course, this coming from a placed calling itself ShopRite.
