I prefer the 600 too. I always thought the 600 are a bit bass-heavy, kind of warm, yet resolving. The 650 are a bit too much of a good thing. Maybe more resolving, but being warmer and more bass-heavy, sort of less enticing. I could live with either of them anyways, I still keep my 14 years old (or so) HD600 pair.

Happy Birthday!!!!!

Happy BDay

I like this one a lot too, so not a bad deal at all in my book. Congrats

I usually see the races live, unless they're at ridiculously early hours. I promise to keep not spoiling them for you

Is this a new Rudistor?

Go Fernando!!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Dmitri!!!

Wow, that's really a coincidence, I've been listening today through 4 different Coltrane albums. Early Coltrane pre 1962 I must say.

Happy Birthday!!!

LOL, I could have one of those too. Somewhere. I swear. Excellent news, Shelly, I wish everything is under warranty and you get it back fixed and sounding awesome.

That was close, Steve. Glad to know you're fine and nothing really serious happened to your property.

Another DAC which I've been recently recommended, not DSD capable but perhaps could be in the future with a firmware upgrade, which might interest Justin is the Wyred4Sound DAC-2 I haven't listened to it though, but since I'm working a loan deal to try the Mytek, eventually might get this one too. Anyone has direct experience?

Maillechort might be what we know in Spanish as "Alpaca" or "German Silver". Its English word could be "albata".

Thanks for the suggestion. VBox has this option too, but unfortunately, when installing it back again for its not working after the transition (no kernel loading) I deleted the old VM, so couldn't try a direct load. Fortunately I keep the old HDD and I have this device my brother in law loaned me, which allows to plug IDE or SATA drives thru USB. I'm recovering that VM and after I reinstall VBox, I can try if it works. What I find puzzling is that the VBox software can't detect and read the bootable Windows disc from an external USB drive. This could be a problem on many other new Macs don't having IDE/SATA optical drives.

Yep, it's carved in aluminum. Maxvla posted pics at the pirates' site http://www.changstar.com/index.php/topic,485.msg19710.html#msg19710

I've just discovered that the VM on Virtual Box (running a Windows 7) didn't work. It needs special drivers installed to boot from the SSD. I've reinstalled VB, but now that the optical is USB, there's no way the damn thing sees it as a boot device to run the Windows install disc. I've configured it to "get" the port, and have installed the extension pack which adds USB compatibility. VB seems to see the "generic USB" and the disc spins, but it says it can't read the bootable. If mounted on OSX, the disc shows perfectly all its contents. Moreover this is the very same disc I used to install W7 over VB in this very same MB before the upgrades. I've even tried a different external DVD-RW unit, with the same lack of success. Any suggestions? I've considered trying to make a bootable pen or SD card with W7, but I can't on OSX, nor know how to extract a CD/DVD to create an .iso or other image into a HDD on OSX. Not that I think that would work, but perhaps worth trying. I still may try Parallels or the other VM software, but for my purposes, VB worked very well and it's free
