  1. Yay Hawks and Bruins!
  2. Twice!
  3. That is the ONLY way to move! Best of luck getting the family settled in the Republic of Texas.
  4. All that spinning and spinning has got to fuck things up, right?
  5. DXD is on the recording side, not playback side. Digital eXtreme Definition (DXD) is an alternative audio encoding scheme for professional use that was developed for editing high-resolution recordings recorded in DSD, the audio standard used on Super Audio CD (SACD). Because the 1-bit DSD format used on SACD is not suited for editing, alternative formats such as DXD are often used during the mastering stage. Contrasted with DSD-Wide or DSD Pure which offers level, EQ, and crossfade edits at the DSD sample rate (64fs, 2.822 MHz),[1][2] DXD is a PCM signal with 24-bit resolution (8 bits more than the 16 bits used for Red Book CD) sampled at 352.8 kHz – eight times 44.1 kHz, the sampling frequency of Red Book CD. The data rate is 8.4672 Mbit/s per channel – three times that of DSD64. DXD utilizes the vast array of plugins also available to PCM based digital audio workstations, such as Cubase, Logic, Digital Performer, etc. DXD was initially developed for Merging’s Pyramix DSD workstation.
  6. Come on, Antonio, face facts. If your DAC doesn't have 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking and an ultra-low jitter oven-controlled crystal oscillator, with 256 X DSD mode, 768 kHz sample rate, quad DAC architecture, and the 64-bit upsampler, with an atomic input, then your DAC ain't shit.
  7. Quadriple. And Charlie Hanson told me to tell them to fuck off and die.
  8. Lo que dijo^ ¡Salud!
  9. After such a shit start with the lockout, this playoff season is awesome! Hawks and Bruins to the final and the Bruins will take the Cup! Oh, and Dan, you're hired. Kings and Pens all the way, right?
  10. I know nothing, but agree with these guys. Comfort is key. Good luck and stay hydrated!
  11. I love the Oxx and all, but it doesn't meet the requirements.
  12. Damn. Congrat on the big win Mike. I'm almost glad that the questionable call didn't end up making the difference. Oh, and I really don't want to listen to these Hawk homers on the radio ever again, but I probably will have to do so when the Hawks dethrone the Kings.
  13. I am listening in the past because of delay through Sirius, so I cannot look at this thread for awhile
  14. This is crazy and it would be so much better if I weren't listening on the computer in my office while working instead of watching while drinking.
  15. Short "hopumentary" about craft beer in the bay area. Fun to see the City Beer Store, Zeitgeist, Lagunitas and other local beer folks for those who have met them and frequented their establishments.
  16. Was it the 100 year guarantee that grabbed ya?
  17. Pono is Neil Young's dream, but the following is the entirety of their website, while Wiki has a page with some "information" on it: Hi Friend, There's an awfully good chance you heard about a revolution we're working on. Something that will significantly improve the way you get to hear and feel your favorite music. Shocking you say? That perhaps the promise of "Perfect Sound Forever" propagated by the inventors of the Compact Disc was a bust? And that "CD Quality" promoted by the likes of iTunes and the creators of the MP3 was only an inkling of the flawed format they were hoping to emulate? We're here to say it's incredibly true! Miraculously, there's a wealth of music & soul (or if you must, "data") trapped on millions of recordings made over the last half century, that we're hoping to unleash for the very first time. Can you imagine? Your own personal time machine, to take you back to the place and time of the original musical event, and let you feel music in ways you've only felt seeing it live? We here at Pono are listening to it now and assure you, IT'S AMAZING!!!! We ask dear music lover that you root for Pono bringing this very real technology to the world. We're still toiling away on making this happen (yes, there are record labels, artists, publishers and more to finalize with), but we wanted to share our excitement with you. In the meantime, please follow us on Facebook or Twitter for updates. Rescuing an art form, The Pono Team
  18. I figured you might fix that. I'm still rooting for the Wings tonight, but I would be satisfied with the Hawks beating the Kings at this point, so long as they punish them.
  19. Stupid Sharks didn't get a miracle. Stupid Kings better get wiped out by the Wings.
  20. My daughter has one of these, a Batchel from Cambridge Satchel Company. It is practically indestructible. Another highly regarded brand is Saddleback Leather, which offers a 100 year guarantee
  21. Sucks Salty. Hope one of those works out but she'll be thrilled in the long run.
  22. That's our Charlie!
  23. I have not spent any time with the prior QB-9 products, but many people love them. I have an Ayre preamp, phono pre, and universal disc player and like them all very much. Simple, solid and I think great sounding, imo.
