  1. Ok, so the more verbose explaination: It's not racist to review or not review anything. Even rap. It's not racist to like or not like any music. Even rap. It's a copout to say it, it's typical liberal guilt. People review things that they think their readership is interested in or that they themselves are interested in. If you want there to be more reviews of rap for audiophile readers, find some, and review it. Honestly, there is discussion of rap even on headfi, it's just not as common as many other genres. Why does deathmetal get discussed? Because the people that like it are nerds who spend all their time on forums, and talk about it. Tyll said it took him a long time to find a well recorded rap piece to put on his sampler, and he ended up with MC 900 Ft Jesus. It's just not something people do anything interesting with in the recordings, generally speaking. I like a lot of rap, but I'm not excited about it generally, because its' the same stuff I've been listening to for 10 or more years. I haven't discovered new rap in ages.
  2. You did. The advantage of replying on a phone is I have incentive to be efficient in my replies.
  3. Oh fuck off. It's not racist to not like rap.
  4. Last night: Drove from PA to Alexandria, and dropped off the Drobo. Then went to Austin Grill for dinner. They've gone way down hill in the last couple of years. Then drove to Fayetteville, NC. Today: hang with the in-laws, then drive to the beach.
  5. Yes, any headfi member can purchase an hf2 from todd.
  6. I like a lot of rap, but given that most of it is poorly recorded, it's not surprising audiophiles don't talk about it a lot. The best rap has a lot of jazz, of course.

  13. Ok, since plain english isn't accurate enough for the pedant brigade: I drove 0 miles to work today, as is typical for me. Once in a while, I drive more, but that hasnt' happened yet in the 24 hrs since I bought my car.

    Apogee ONE

    I was just talking about the dac chips. I'd be shocked if apogee chose to use a dac chip that didn't support 24/96. I'm guessing (and that's all it is at this point, a guess), that the dac portion of the circuit is the same as the duet, it's just that the usb chipset is 16/48 instead of 24/96 to simplify implementation.

    Apogee ONE

    I don't think that necessarily follows, it could just be a USB driver choice. All current dacs can do 24/96, so it is probably just the USB reciever.
  21. This is very cool, thanks for taking it on, and I can't wait to hear it. All my favorite designs have been amb's lately.
