Hmmm. Wonder if they will allow online orders.

Edit: Nevermind.... "Only a limited number of CDs will be produced and be sold exclusively at Otakon!" Dammit!

Ooohhh I think I'll just stick to this thread for a few days...I stumbled upon too many rage-inducing posts today.

People calling DAPs schitty that doesn't have enough storage capacity to hold the 300+ vinyl 24/192 WAV rips that these people NEED to carry around.

Of course these hi-res tracks are the pinnacle of SQ.

The term "audiophile" is sooooo overused! I really learned to hate it...

"blablabla every serious-audiophile DAP needs at least 250GB storage! blabla"


Oh and don't get me started on the recent attack of the Graphstapo (thanks to the Monchichi for this wonderful neologism) on the ASG-2.

Yes, the graph looks funky, but that is so not important since a lot of people (with super flawed ears...) love them!


Oh this hobby....

Achievement Unlock! *No True Audiophile*

You encountered the phenomenon of "No True Audiophile", a logical fallacy that's very common in everything. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman You can read the "No True X" phenomenon here.

bit torrent is just a method of data transfer, contents can be completely legal.
Like how I torrent large freewares since it would otherwise stress the server hosting it.

I need a 32/384 DAC or else it's schiit. Speaking of which, I demand an amp that can provide 1 GW of power or else my headphones will sound like crap.

And I need a 1-inch long, 5-inch diameter platinum cable wrapped in gold foil with silver accents and terminated with a 252-caret gold-plated jack with 12-caret diamond studs on the jack for the best sound quality.

I'll also need a nice $99999999 CD player to go with all of that because $200 ones are absolute garbage.

For storage on a portable media player, I need at least 1 TB of storage because my 1 GB files need lots of storage space and yes I can hear the sound quality difference while riding in a noisy train with "transparent," "low-distortion" open-back headphones on my portable rig that is 12-inches thick and can easily fit in my backpack.

I have to admit, there are some 1GB+ albums (downmixed 5.1 stuff) on my J3, but the only thing they do is sounding different.

Well, looks like my taste in music is soooo not Otaku compatible xD
All my votes went to the "schitty" songs!
Is something wrong with ME or are the other people who participated in these votes just some filthy non-audiophiles?
How can you NOT love this K-On song?! :D

exactly
 
The protocal itself is legal. The contents of it are just its contents.
 
BUT, then we go into gray areas as a lot of anime is not lisenced in USA or insert country here.

I didn't think you were for reals until I got to the platinum cable part.
