Yeah, some of them were stumpers, and I had to put it away to get some work done. I did get all of the ones that I got, eventually, don't remember if I finished it or not. I think I was up to like #34 or something...? I did start dreaming it, and LOL'd when Google made their logo like it for the day.

You just described the perfect speaker -- are they really that good? (makes a mental note to hear Aerials some day)

You know, I get deals on mice in my Amazon Gold Box* all the time. I hate mice. I'm a trackball person, myself. I need to get about 5 of the Logitech Trackman for cheap (4 for extant computers, one...just extra). *Sounds like porn.

Hmmm...

I might have to go up there this weekend.

Stop it, you're making it sound real appealing. And I don't usually like fruit in beers.

Thought about this some more: the article won't be so helpful, because it assumes you have access to the bitstream at a very specific point, so if the two chips are too close together (the one that converts DSD to PCM, and the DAC), or perhaps aren't separate at all, this could be more than difficult. But if one were to capture the bitstream post PCM/pre analog, then it could work.

Team Arcy Sparky wants you to post pics if you do. Yes, even your trademark huge-ass pics.

I missed something -- what do you need balanced anything for? It's a receiver! And: whut?!? Why? DSD rawks! And: I was over at sa-cd.net looking up Epica SACD information, and one of the last threads I contributed to popped up, and someone had posted the following, which I thought might be of interest to (some of) you: I don't see why any universal player that converts DSD to PCM couldn't be hacked to give the PCM output. It was an article in the magazine that was the precursor to the current audioXpress (no, not Glass Audio or Speaker Builder, the other one...uh...Audio Amateur, I think). I'm thinking this might interest anyone who is going entirely computer-based -- it gives them the option of digitally ripping SACD's to their computer. Which, now that I think about it, includes me*. So...anyone have any thoughts on this? * -- I'd of course, keep the SACD's, as I would still want to be able to listen to them in their natural state

Bootleg from last year, looks like it's going to be officially released. EDIT: Argh! And while I was over there looking up the image, I find out that Consign to Oblivion was released on SACD! NEED! WANT! MUST HAVE NAO!

Someone needs to post those on the "hot or not" website.

Epica, The Classical Conspiracy

! Will do...thanks...

You touch my ding ding dong... Seriously: what is the G for?

At least they posted in the right thread.

Nice trying to sneak that by us...

That's awesome. I'm going to send that one to my ex, she hates squirrels, they're always eating seeds in her garden.

Dude's a fucking cat. And it's even cooler, because I just got finished watching this recently: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxF_EY4wW2U ...which is painful to watch beyond maybe 45 seconds or so. (It's basically a faceplant/assplant/elbowplant/kneeplant/fullbodyplant compilation.) Back to Danny -- someone needs to send him a picture of what is affectionately known to DC-ers as the "toilet bowl building" in Tysons Corner: ...I'd be curious what he'd do with it. (Does embedding flicker images work?)

I got through about 15 seconds of that. And no, I've never heard of Fred before.

Fred? Fred who?

You obviously have no eye for talent.

Hey may have been confused -- there is supposed to be a corresponding receiver coming out soon, perhaps that was meant?

Fucking brilliant. "...on the sea..." / "that means the ocean"
