I can make it crash when you aren't even playing music

No it can't be exactly fixed but you can get very very close. What exactly is better (lens geometry wise) about attempting to get the lens to throw light on a larger flat surface than before? I would have to say nothing. You just end up with bigger glass which I guess is more tolerant of imperfection but with manufacturing being what it is today I don't think that is as much an issue. My understanding is that the pro level 135 glass is sharper than the MF glass (because it has to be). MF/LF used to have a huge advantage in that the resolution was noticeably higher because you were able to have the same image on a bigger piece of film. This camera is 30mp which is not that much considering what the top of the line Canons and Nikons do in a lot less real estate. A number of pro's have switched from MF back to simple FF and I see the trend increasing (though I'm probably wrong).

What do you mean by that? I have yet to understand the Hasselblad mystique especially since you can get shots of the same quality from Nikon/Canon with a little Photoshop work. Hasselblad is just plain overpriced.

I can program a program that fills 50x as much memory if you like....

Well their customer support supposedly sent me a UPS label for me to ship them back. Now after I've had to glue stuff together to get it not to squeal they will likely not want to honor the warranty but we shall see. The dance continues....

Happy Birthday!

Justin is planning on making some more I believe but I don't know when or how.

Unfortunately that doesn't mean people don't listen to him.

And get a hold of one! That might be the hardest part.

I don't know but my new head band and cosmetic repairs should fix it all! I sent a long letter telling them that the squeal was in the right driver. Maybe I should push a pencil through the damn thing and then send it in.

Well it turns out that Koss repaired my headphones not replaced them. The pick ticket says to "replace - H,B, Assembly, Cushion Adhesive Ring, Cover foam, and serial label". I find the replacement of the serial label the most interesting, since they didn't replace the The driver came back more screwed as before because the little mesh/plastic ring was broken. Sent to Koss: We'll see if I hear anything. I doubt I will and I will now have to send my glued together unit back to them and wait again.

Worse with the stax SRM-1/MK2. Which is odd since the bias voltage is lower. Only in the right channel.

mother fuck. The squeal is back and the headphones have been in my hands for maybe 5 hours

I explained my problem with my pair but they did not ask any questions (just like their site says).

I have no comment about #2 but I just got back a spanking new pair and had not registered anything.

I got my ESP/950 and everything else back from Koss today Good times, I must say that their service rules. Of course it may change but dead quiet right now

Cool well enjoy. I have looked into is a bit before but I got put off but I can't rember why. I think it may have been the MAC only thing but there was something in their DSP that made me uncomfortable.

I should be clear that the during A/D the pre-ringing only occurs after you de-alias the samples too.

Actually it produces preringing when sampling to digital etc or downsampling from higher bitrates but if my aim is to reproduce exactly what's on the disk then it's right to preserve the phase in the digital filter. IF you put a digital filter on that reduces the preringing that may or may not be in the digital signal (like ayre does) then you are most definitely not reproducing the analog signal captured by the digital signal (perfect or not). If you need more convincing there are some great fft programs you can mess around with.

Well let me know how it goes. I really shouldn't spend the money anyway so maybe I'll just live vicariously through you. I'm glad to hear they have gear to trial the DAD stuff.

The phase in the orginal digital signal is preserved which is linear in the audio world I believe. I see that there are many that talk about minimum phase etc for resampling which makes a lot of sense in those uses but once it makes it to the DAC I think it should put everything out with the phase it gets in: straightline phase and frequency response.

I can totally see that. If you got the two weiss's plus their stand alone firewire interface (or the integrated one) you'd definitely be all set.

Ah. well I think once you have the AX24 setup you can likely it to automatically monitor it's anlog inputs to the dac outputs etc (ie no computer required). I think what you should do is sit down and draw out a flowchart of what you want to do (if you haven't already) I think it will make it a whole lot easier for us fellow hc'ers to understand where you're coming from. All this talk of AD has me thinking of looking into how much 2 channels of AD would cost extra on the AX24 and then be able to make "master" level recordings too which would be pretty cool.

hmmm interesting....

Well the DAC1 takes in S/pdif anyway so I wouldn't worry since you can still hook it through. For what you're talking about though the AX24 seems a whole lot more cost effective and general.
