    Can’t talk about the product as it hasn’t been released yet, sorry.

    I don’t think you’ve ever really had to deal with a “proper” standards body like the Bluetooth consortium. Good luck telling them that you’ll only comply with parts of their standard.

    Standards are nice for the consumer, if those standards are any good. Standards also have their problems. One of them is that they tend to inhibit progress, as they're usually designed around a lowest common denominator without leaving too much wiggle room to innovate without breaking something...

    Neither. I see Mike every once in a while. He's just doing his thing.

    Oh dear, please don't. Although, if anyone could figure out how to make a streamer that doesn't suck, it might as well be them…

    That is not entirely correct. Muzo and WiiM are both LinkPlay brands. Their products are essentially made by the same folks, often with shared components and software libraries. (For legal reasons, I'm not implying that there'd be anything wrong with that.)

    No tester, or inoperable tester? That is the question — whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of perpetual inoperability, or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and, by fixing the damned thing, end them?

    Don't know, actually. He doesn't readily divulge this kind of information to people without tube testers… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Part of Mark's stash of JAN 5670s, I assume?

    Careful, I have it on good authority that Schiit will shut down operations once the 10k page count has been met.

    Bought 40 double-walled cardboard boxes today. Mojito's on cloud number 9. When I lugged them up the stairs to my apartment, a neighbor cheerfully hollered across the road: "Ya movin'?" Where's Bill Engvall when you need him… 🙄

    Professional help? To listen to them, you mean? Where do I sign up… 😁
