The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

The Buffalo can acccept I2S directly with the change of a jumper and dip switch.

I really don't want to see them. You call it a manatee, I call it a sea cow.

I am thinking in the 1K range. I would like to make one with the 4 input MUX so you have USB/SPDIF/TOSLINK/AES as inputs. Use the upcoming discrete I/V stage. Also use the new contorler which will allow I/O control/volume/remote and use a VFD display. I also have a couple other ideas but I will have to see about what other functions the new controler will have. If it isn't to crazy expensive and I have enough interest I would like to do it all in a Hifi-2000 case with panels also done by HF-2000. FPE is okay but there is a limit of what you can do. It's all just in my head right now.

That's a pretty broad question. A simple one can be done for about $400 +/-. A full blown one around 1K.

I will have to be sending all my stuff home in the next month or so. So I was thinking I could loan the Buffalo out while I am transitioning from here to home. Each person that wanted to give it a listen could try it for a couple days and then send it on to the next person. It's in a beat up Par-Metal case so I won't be too worried about it getting roughed up moving around. It would most likely be set up for either USB or SPDIF. If I feel motivated I might put a selector on it for switched between the two. If you guys are interested let me know and we can come up with a plan.

None here are blinded by our personal feelings about your "products". I think what bothers us (at least me) is that you are constantly blowing things out your (fat) ass over on HF. It's just one line of BS after the other. A month ago you could barely get a SS working and now your a EE that seems to know everything about signal propagation in the audio frequency range? Please. Then remove it.

You don't eat the bags when your done making the tea do you?

At least you know where you stand.

Tell us how it it. I am thinking about pulling the trigger on one. I just wish I could find an arm band for it that fits my arm.

This ones easy. I can buy all the cheap gadgets I want. But money won't buy me...oh wait. Never mind.

I'm in the process of formulating a plan right now for a complete TP DAC when all the goodies become available. I probably offer my services for building some in a similar fashion as I did for the B22s I built.

Anyone here have a touch/iPhone they work out with? I have a first gen nano that is about at the end of it's life and am trying to decide what to get. Should I hold out and get a iPhone, or get a nano and a touch? Or just a touch or iPhone. I currently have Sprint as my service provider so it would mean switching services. I also am not sure if I would want to carry something as large as a iPhone in my pocket. Those that have one how do you find it to be size wise in your pockets?

I was hoping for 64gb Touch. Oh well. Looks like I might have to get the 32gb for now. And maybe a Nano to replace my gen1.

I plan on using it with a dedicated server so it should be much of an issue since the IP addresses will stay the same. Were you using the 0.5 version with the 2.0 iPod software or the older version?

The way I understand it is that iPeng can control what music is sent to a receiver (like the Duet remote) and can also stream music to the iPod. If the receiver can be set up through either Squeezecenter or iPend one wouldn't need the Duet remote. That's $200 that can be spent on a iTouch or iPhone, both of which can do a whole lot more than the Duet remote. Looks like you can set it up without the Duet remote. SBR configuration tool - alpha testers required - Slim Devices : Community : Forums Looks like I am going to buy a iTouch and just a receiver. Hopefully the new 64mb iTouch will be out tomorrow.

I figure a week to two weeks to get there and another two after that to get back here. I am going to see if they can just cross ship me a new one. I think that is the first piece of consumer electronics like that I have bought that has been DOA. Did a bit of googling and it seems others have had DOA receivers. Anyone try the touch/iphone ap for controlling their SB? Edit: If I can just control a receiver with Ipeng I might just purchase a receiver and Ipod touch. 64GB FTW.

Just received my Squeezebox Duet that I have been waiting two weeks for. It appears the receiver is DOA. The light on the front doesn't light up. It appears everything on the powersupply side works fine. Guess I have to ship it all back and wait a month for a replacement

To close to shore. I think it's Nessie

That must have been a pretty penny.

Box each of: Partagas Series D No. 4 Rockey Patel Decade Torpedo I'm going to need a bigger humidor before too long

Four words. Rocky. Mountain. Audio. Fest. Rocky Mountain Audiofest 2008 The best of the best and everything in between will be there. Plan on spending the weekend listening to everything. I would think after that you should have a good feeling for what you like. There are some pretty good stores in the Denver area. For Paradigm, I don't know about Denver but there is The Stereo Shop in the Springs. Dealt with them before and they are some pretty good guys.

If you can get in on the feeding frenzy and have the ability or find someone to build it for you, I think the TP Buffalo would fit the bill nicely. Plus it could also be made balanced so you wouldn't have to upgrade in the future.
