About a third of the way down the page, an October 7th entry, any notice this or know anything about it? Sure looks puuurty Unfortunately the websites product pages links don't seem to be working http://www.trafomaticaudio.com/products.php

I actually quite like the banner, logo and favicon. I like the fact that the logo is something we can just type as well.

I haven't noticed anything in the manual, but I haven't really looked, I'm not even sure if the player itself will recognize FLAC or Lossless, if it does then I don't see why it wouldn't be able to off the thumb drive.Does the manual say the USB thumb drive will play Flac or WMA Lossless files at all?
I also heard people say the USB thumb drive can be hooked up a external USB hard drive (Fat32 only) but that only the first 700 files will play or something like that...

I feel bad for my part in the whole thing. No matter what I did or how I handled it though someone's going to have a problem with it. I've had people ask why I didn't post about the problems I was having with Ken earlier and then I've had others lay at least part of the blame for the whole situation on me for posting anything at all.Unbelievable that people continued to shill for them and DACs were supposed to ship in September
-
I think that whole thing left a bad taste in quite few peoples mouths, it's too bad that it drove some out of the hobby altogether.His interest in the hobby pretty much got trashed by the whole Storm Audio debacle.

Well I got the Oppo 980 a couple of nights ago and I must say I'm duly impressed. Sound quality out of my admittedly mid-fi speaker setup (modded Mission Cyrus I and Paradigm Atoms) is very nice. To be honest I don't remember the MiniMax sounding a whole lot better out of this system. I'm not suggesting the Oppo is at that level though, more I expect I'm seeing the limitations of the amp and speakers. I'll be interested to see how it performs when I get the Pico and am able to listen to it with my E500's.
What has really impressed me about the Oppo though is the feature set, ease of setup and use and the video quality. Even on our crappy old Fisher 24" CRT the difference over the Philips is easily noticeable on both divx/xvid and DVD. I even tried an xvid straight from USB thumb drive last night and it played without a hiccup. Build quality is also a nice step up from the Philips, it just seems a little more solid, polished and well thought out as a design. My only gripe so far is that a DVD burned with divx/xvid content automatically starts playing the first track, to get to the menu you have to press stop twice. The Philips had a similar function but you could turn it off so that the Menu came up first after inserting the disc. Maybe it's possible on the Oppo but I haven't found a way as yet.

Where is Thaddy, I haven't seen him around lately?Got an email from my boy Thaddy.
Oh and I believe it was Earl who lured me over.

I'm not seeing it in your custom title therefore you can't be the asshat today.well, here's a tip: if you look around the forum, and you can't tell who the asshat is, it's you. today, you could tell it was me. might be you tomorrow, though, Vicki.

And this has to do with headphones how?
-
Hehe, just went to the Management link in the last one, Jude and Neil are listed as expected but what got me was Jack Roush as VP of Product Development. I'd forgotten about Jude's link to Nascar.Found it, last ones working, the first 2 aren't.
-
elrod tom was the one who I always got into it with.The only moderator I know that was messing with me was jude.
-
OK Kevin, enough beating around the bush, now tell us how you really feel.Jude's plans for world domination of the headphone world have been canceled.
And yes payback is a bitch.
The creator says not to gloat in the misery of others, but what jude has done to me and
my friends, and the way he treats everyone is so condecending that he deserves this and
much more.
Jude needs to stop lying and look in the mirror for the source of all his trouble. He believed
too much of his own bullshit.

I just discovered this thread and thought I'd throw my 2 cents in. It's been a loooong time since I heard some of the better amps on the market but going on memory I'd say I'm on the fence. We had a Cary 300SEI at Swans Speakers when I was working there and I always enjoyed my time with it immensely but I had my eyes opened when we took some speakers down to the Philadelphia Audio Society's SET amp get together, there were some amazing amps there that trounced the Cary but most of them cost a fair bit more.
-
It's because some of them compared a whole pile of amps and are now THE authority. Now those "reviewers" have a following and their opinions are treated like gospel.If someone raises a logical objection, people then point to all the idiots who said otherwise. It's bullshit.
-
I'll be curious to see how well USB works, it would make transfering xvid and divx files around far easier. Too bad the USB couldn't be used with the Pico.The Oppo players are really hard to beat and support both divx and xvid. I've played back plenty of xvid encoded files (on both cd's and dvd's) without any troubles on my Oppo 981.
-
Well I broke down and ordered the Oppo DV-980H, I just couldn't fathom buying something a bit cheaper that wouldn't have the same performance and features just to save a couple of dollars.

Just like my daughter, Billy gets to be a princess for his birthday.

Sorry Biggie... you're just going to have to live with me.Too many of the people I hate head-fi for are showing up here all of a sudden. For that reason I hope head-fi comes back soon.
Biggie.

Nice choice, I miss mine greatly.Thanks justin and recstar24. Just sent Asr email. Bought AE-2 off of him and can't wait to get it.

Well it happened, our old Philips DVP642 finally gave up the ghost last night and it couldn't come at a more inopportune time with Christmas just around the corner. I had figured my next DVD player would be one of the Oppo's but given the time of year and the fact I can't get one here and it would probably cost over $200 to get one online and have it shipped here I'm not sure if I can sell the wife on it or not.
The DVD player will be used mostly for Divx capabilities so maximum Xvid and Divx compatibility is a must. It will also be used with a Mission Cyrus 1 and Paradigm Atoms for music, mostly background, but we still like it to sound decent. There's also the possibility it could be used as a transport down the road but with the Pico coming soon my main source for serious headphone listening will move to the computer for now at least. So with all that in mind are there any of the cheaper DVD players which will meet our needs that stand out as a better choice?
Sorry I know this isn't really a serious source question but I wasn't quite sure where to put it, if the mods wish to move it feel free.

I guess it's actually Razor I watched, it's labelled as episodes 1 and 2 of season 4.Early leak?
Also, did you watch Razor (leaked last week)?
-
Just watched the first two episodes of the new season last night. WOW!!! Although it doesn't continue where it left off last season the storyline was excellent and had much of the pace and intensity of the first season.

$550.00 US (approx.) is pretty expensive for cute and novel. For a portable amp at that price I'd expect it to be borderline ground breaking.it's cute... i'm sure someone out there will like it. at least it's novel...

Paging Boomana....I plan to use my K1k (assuming I don't sell them) with my Pico, so it's not that far off
Help Me Get My Computer As Source Sorted Out

Hope you don't mind a bit of a hijack but I've got a somewhat related question. With my Pico coming soon I'm going to be using my computer as a source much more than it has been. One thing that I've been wondering about is if there is a way to add a remote so I can skip tracks without having to get up and go over to the computer? I've poked around a bit but other than computers that come with a remote of some sort I've not found a solution to add one on.
