What TV show are you watching now?
Fleishman is in Trouble I finished episode 3 yesterday. Not bad. The sad part is that it reflects a world that truly exists everywhere. Waiting for it to be surprising at some point.

Thanks, but on a current production Mac this DAC won't work unless I used it on a legacy OSX, which is not the clever thing to do on a new computer. it would work on Windows thru USB, though. The manufacturer didn't deliver USB drivers for OSX newer than Sierra or so. I like it because it sounds good, has simultaneously working balanced XLR and SE RCA outputs, and has a Sabre chip that plays DSD natively. Replacing it with a similar quality device would add >1.5K to the bill. But I'm not sure I love it as much as to go back to have a Windows computer The day this poor trustful Mac dies I'll make my mind up and spend the dough, I guess. I might ditch fancy DACs to get a proper audio interface thus probably giving up on playing DSD natively. I haven't been able to find an equivalent to the discontinued TASCAM DA-3000

I'm not sure of going that route, I'm very afraid of losing support of the Firewire DAC I'm using, which is the main reason why I haven't purchased a new computer in all this time. I might consider that if the lack of support to this computer becomes a serious problem, but I'm afraid it's more likely that I get another one. 13 years is quite some time even for this indestructible device.

According to that schedule about killing older devices, this MBP should be kept alive for a while, but it's old enough not to admit the update to Catalina. No worries, I'm happy with Qobuz so far My iPad has suffered a cynical death (as opposed to clinical) for a couple of years. It's still good to read the newspaper, some web browsing and other "easy" tasks. I'm not upgrading it just for how pissed I am at Apple. I'm pretty sure it could still do a lot more things.

It makes sense. Since I'm in a very old version of OSX, I still have iTunes but not Music, I can't check.

How is it going? Can it be used on the Mac? I received some publicity saying the App can be installed on iPhone. Searched the App Store not finding the App for OSX, so I'm guessing you use it with the web browser.

I've seen spectrals of some of those Apple Hires products and seem to be sampled at 44.1KHz

What are you listening to Part the Third
Get better soon, Shelly. That sounds like some kind of virus that possibly isn't included in the group you were tested for.

On the second season of Your Honor Pretty good, like the first season was to me. I've got a few episodes left.

These are the loudness wars of photography: "kill the contrast".

Electrostatic headphones for metal and Asian female vocals
I'm afraid you should read the forum before posting anything else, so you catch the vibe. We're not much about headphones anymore, but when we talk about them, it's not to recommend things to newbies that ask silly things.

As long as 24/192 doesn't mean MQA, I could be interested.

I think I got it from the explanation of the lipstick, but with pictures is much clearer

The Official Head-Case Photography Thread.
Maybe the M11 is a bit too much, but with the right lens and some practice 60Mp isn't a problem. The M10R is a good plan B if they drop prices a bit. I considered the M240 for a while, but I'm always distrustful buying things with Leica's "luxury aura" second hand online. There are a few things of the M11 that I don't like, I much preferred the bottom cover to the special battery, but I've heard its charge lasts good for a shooting day.

The Official Head-Case Photography Thread.
I'm starting to consider that I'd deserve a Leica M11 before I turn 60. I can afford it, what I can't is losing, breaking or having it stolen if paired with a Summilux lens.
