Happy birthday Ian! ;ian: Cheers

A musician friend just asked me if anybody was talking about the H2 Designs MIYO dac/adc/headamp that is USB powered and tiny. He claims -- as does the website https://gomiyo.com/ -- that audio engineers are hot on this product because it has "high grade converters with super low jitter rates." I have not found a single mention here on HC but I am curious if anyone has looked at it.

Lower case smooth jazz. No pejorative.

What happened to the @Knuckledragger signature posts? Don't you love us any more?

Tomatoes are finally really rolling

Just change cobbler to gobbler and that's a pretty good description of **Brent**

I note that Stretch liked your comment, but I will point out, as his attorney, that he said wine drinking "in his house" will occur henceforth only after a body weight of <210 is recorded. He is on vacation in Hawaii, not at home. This rule shall not be in effect for some days. I will further note, that I am disappoint, unless he's going to drink with me outside his home, even if he is still "Fat."

I'd love to hear those! The OMA slate is beautiful stuff in person.

This love child is very cool looking in person and is the best speaker system I have ever heard anywhere.

Condolences to you and your wife and whole family, Kerry.

I found the perfect ride for @grawk

Summer fruits!

I already knew I was old but my back is busted from pulling wall to wall weeds out of our 25' x 25' artificial lawn in SF, plus pulling down a disgusting mat of a vine covered with creepy nodules coming over the fence from our neighbor's yard. Beer and ibuprofen incoming.

More of this.

Beautiful. Steve could drive that and I bet we could set up a snore-proof chamber in the 497 cubic feet of storage area underneath the bus.

That would be one smelly RV after a couple of states. I have been to 22 of the 70 breweries, but quite spaced out in time. When can we leave?

RIP Glen. And fuck Alzheimers while you're at it!

It's a bit late, but I just learned that jazz pianist Geri Allen died at the end of June at age 60, and that makes me sad. She was fantastic and should have played for decades longer. Fuck cancer! http://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2017/06/27/534409838/geri-allen-pianist-composer-and-educator-dies-at-60

OK, maybe not.

I still want to find that guy and stab him in the eye.

I made the time but my leg of lamb carving skills were wanting.

That's Grill Adjacent

That spelling is what attracted him in the first place! Playback Designs says it is a combination of Swiss - German engineering and American entrepreneurship so how can you go wrong? I still really like my Playback Designs DAC -- especially for DSD but also for PCM -- and they have a fancy new line that is not out yet as far as I can tell. Here are links for the current one and a press release for the new one: http://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/impressions-playback-designs-merlot-quad-dsd-dac-syrah-music-server-brief-notes-pinot-quad-dsd-adc/ http://positive-feedback.com/industry-news/playback-designs-dream-series-quad-dsd-dac-transport/
