Sound Bars?
I am in much the same. The nice Yamaha soundbars with the little calibration mic look good but my room and tv placement is going to present a lot of trouble and I want some assurance before dropping that much. I wonder if I can get a trial from somewhere to try before I buy or buy and return etc.

PMC BB5 XBD-A Never going to own at 32k (which isn't all that bad considering it includes all that Bryston goodness)

What did you do today?
Woke up late and a little hung over from a night out. Rode 33miles on my bike trainer setting a new PR on the course I did. Meaghan and I then took a dip in the hot tub in sub freezing temperatures which was lots of fun now that we have suitable robes. Ate lunch. Now I am resting up for a "Max Power" torture session on the trainer again to find out my max HR and functional threshold power.

Koss fraud. Wow, not good.
That's a whole lot of ifs to be deciding not to buy headphones over..... or predicting the end of a company at all for that matter. To be honest I'd be tempted to buy the stock considering this appears to mean that their margin was much higher than expected.

Why would Koss go under over this? It is a lot of money but if they were making money while she was skimming (understatement) then it doesn't suddenly make them bankrupt now it just means their dividend should have been much larger. Maybe what she stole was money she felt she deserved because she made the company profit margin 20% from 6% and just took the difference. That's the logic that a lot of bankers appear to follow.

I dunno, what's koss's revenue? My parents had someone steal a very sizable amount of money from them and hide it for 3 -5 years and their revenue is much much smaller I would guess. May both women rot in jail.

Dunno if this was posted already but it is up to 31 million: Koss fires auditor as losses hit $31 million - JSOnline Koss Corp. Fires Auditor as Alleged Fraud Loss Widens to $31 Million - DailyFinance Essentially entirely controlled by the Koss family with 70% of the stock.

Damn! When I read Todd's post I felt all hopeful and stuff that I'd get a DVR that is easier to use but it does not appear meant to be.

Arlington, VA Meet
I would say not until it ends I can't remember how much it costs to change an opera ticket but I'm thinking about it. If I can't make is and Vlad wants I'll send all my crap with him. HD800, DAC3, DEQ 2496 etc.

New Weiss DAC202 w/headphone amp
Essentially inserting or removing resistors from the signal path (somewhere) to give volume drop. Much like selecting gains in effect.

New Weiss DAC202 w/headphone amp
I wonder if it even bothers with a separate amp for the headphones or just uses the output stage for the XLRs. Daniel Weiss loves low output impedance and high voltage swing for his output stages. Apparently you can drive speakers with the output on the DAC1.

What did you do today?

Tactlabs Beta Testers Needed
All of them should since as far as I know they use digital correction for everything so each channel is an ADC the DAC anyway.

I'm sorry but I missed any findings in the post.

Sonic Studio 302 (aka Metric Halo ULN-2)
Just making sure I still want one but I'm not buying a mac so I won't get one. That was easy.

Sonic Studio 302 (aka Metric Halo ULN-2)
I assume that this would be passing through the ADC and then back out the DAC?

F'ing awesome.

Sonic Studio 302 (aka Metric Halo ULN-2)
Yeah that looks like a sweet DAC/ADC (ULN-8 ). Only think I would want more is the Prism ADA-8XR but it's 2x the price. The tech specs are spot on.

Totally worth the 10-20 minutes of shoveling to get it all setup. Our hot tub was one of the better impulse buys we have made. Though since this unit doesn't have a classical heater but instead warms up gradually (very insulated, only about $10 a month to run), I have up the heat so it starts out a bit warmer to begin with.
