    Android phones and USB DACs

    Another question - does Audio Recorder Pro overcome the pause thing with OTG, where when you resume you "speed up" the music until it "catches up" with where you would have been if you hadn't paused?  Because that's annoying...

    Quote: Man, I haven't been able to find a micro-to-mini OTG for my Samsung GS3 to iBasso D4.... Quote: ...oh wait, would this work?   ...and if it does, the next step would be to find a case that would hold both.  (or silicon band, but that blocks the screen I guess)   /dream...

    The diary entries of a little girl in her 30s! ~ Part 2

    I drove down to watch the Boston Marathon a few years ago.  Def one of the coolest (and busiest, from a pedestrian traffic point of view) events I've ever seen.   I'm already sad and don't really know what happened yet.

    Quote: A few points: - I do think NK are mostly bluster and have been for a long time.  Of course, bluster with a nuclear arsenal is a different story. - I do think the NK establishment is a little out of their minds. - I'm not sure sure that NKs are brainwashed as much as they are...

    Quote: I read all the Paksenarrion stuff a while back.  Entertaining. A bit fluffy, but there's nothing wrong with that.   Quote: Bass guitars are for percussionists who want to fool people into thinking they're guitarists.  :D

    What book are you reading right now?

    Quote: Patrick Rothfuss.  Fantasy genre.   I'm kind of torn.  Parts of it were riveting, parts were uncomfortable or boring.  I'm reading the sequel, so overall I guess I the experience was positive, but I'm still somewhat on the fence.

    warren, kudos to your dealing with zardak.   oh, and that guy (EDIT:  mutabor) who complained he was called a bunch of names here?  He was.  I mean, only after trolling HARD, and insulting MF's knowledge.  Not that he portrayed it that way....

    I remember Moist.  Silver was ok.  Machine Punch Through was probably better.  Tangerine, if it's the one I'm thinking of, probably the best of the bunch.

    What book are you reading right now?

    Just finished The Name of the Wind, and started Wise Man's Fear.  Really not sure what I think yet.

    Quote: :)   Quote:   Disagree strongly regarding the writing in Doctor Who.  What it is is variable.  It runs the full range of sci fi writing, from epic to cheesy to humourous to clever.  It's absolutely, unquestionably hit and miss.  That said, the guy in charge also does...

    Quote:   Not ALWAYS wise.  When I was looking at buying Sword of the Stars 2, for example, I noticed that the metacritic reviews started out awful, and got progressively better over time.  Reading into the reviews, peopel commented on how a years worth of development went in after...

    Quote:   Happened to me last year, sort of.  Bank stopped my card, called me, and had already sent me a new one, iirc.  Was pretty painless on my side.   Still not quite sure where the leak was, though.   (Not quite true, but my prime suspect was a respectable establishment.)

    Quote:   I'm really torn between GR07 and GR01 for my next purchase.  I think the GR01 are $169Cdn shipped atm.   Quote: Hmm no USB/Battery switch on the back.  That seems like a bad thing, compared with the D4.  I wonder why.

    Quote:   Uh.. oops.  Portable DAC/AMP.  ibasso d4.  I think I aim to leave it at work, pair it with my Galaxy S3.  On its own, the S3 puts out more noise than Niagara Falls.  :(   Of course, that will lead to better phones for work, then a better dac for work (so the d4 can be used...

    The worst pain I remember feeling was muscle cramps.  Which sounds not bad, but was still pretty bad.   Basically, post-marathon, dehydrated, body temperature down a degree.  They put me on a gurney, give me an IV, and start heating me up.  All of which is fine.  But now I'm not moving...

    For some reason I thought it existed as a device that could simply output audio via the USB.  I haven't tried it, though, since OTG is working well enough for me.
