Save the date: a Sennheiser CES debut
What a disappointment for Sennheiser sound bar owners. They have been hinting at rear channels for their Ambeo sound bars (plus and mini) since they have 4 channels of wireless currently for up to 4 subwoofers, and have been described by employees as future proof.- emailists

Holo Audio Red Streamer
Anyone selling a Red Holo in the USA? I just ordered a Directstream MKII and need a way to feed it via Ethernet. I have an EtherRegen and wondering if it will still be needed since MKII has galvanic isolation. I was going to place an order for a Red, but if I can save some cash I’d consider...- emailists

Why 24 bit audio and anything over 48k is not only worthless, but bad for music.

I use CHesky Jen Chapin recording of the same album I bought in 96 then 192 when it was released. Just because someone can't hear the difference...- emailists

my new HD800's - buy expensive balanced XLR female cable to try $15K preamp or buy dedicated amp? (anyone in NYC with these cables?)
First let me state I am normally not a headphone guy. They usually bother my ears after a short time, (I have 770's I use for recording music) but after repeatedly trying the HD800's, the open air design and unique driver placement seemed to agree with me, at least in short demos. I...- emailists
