    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    I've not listened to anything from Mark Levinson or "Daniel Hertz" but their marketing sounds like complete BS to me. Some quotes from - https://danielhertz.com/daniel-hertz-audio-systems/exclusive-technology "Daniel Hertz is the only company in the world that can explain, measure and fix...

    Ditto. When Roon announced integration with Qobuz that was the catalyst for me to build (assemble, really) a NUC and purchase a lifetime Roon subscription. I've really enjoyed having the Roon server run as a standalone appliance. I'm predicting others will do the same with the pending...

    You have a hard time keeping up with- 200 + posts/day? 1400 + posts/week? 6000 + posts/month? I realize where most of my posts fall on the signal/noise ratio, but I'm finding it increasingly difficult to find time to sift thru the thread to find meaningful content.

    This thread had 217 posts yesterday. No wonder I can't keep up! I saw that. It's actually quite a bit less than I thought it was going to be. I like.

    I’m another Qobuz vote for reasons others have already mentioned especially Roon integration. Of all criteria that might be used when choosing a streaming service, the least critical IMO is the availability of HiRes. I read somewhere that only about 8% of available music is in HiRes. Of that...

    A few weeks ago I was silently laughing at @dstrimbu for getting so far behind. Tonight after I go to an early dinner I find that I'm now 7 pages behind. Hard to keep up!

    I use Yggy with my TV via the TV's optical. No issues. FWIW, I previously used a Denafrips Ares DAC and the lip-sync issue made it unusable for TV watching.

    For those looking for some bass tracks try Lady Blackbird's Black Acid Soul.

    Ditto. We keep extra water bottles in the fridge for all of the delivery guy & gals. A little kindness and consideration goes a long way for these folks.

    Of course not. Not to be obvious, but the "BBQ wars" on this forum are all in fun and basically something to fill in the gaps between Jason's chapters. :beerchug:

    Not to mention all of the equipment resting on carpet. Probably a fair amount of static to be dealt with.

    When I was contemplating buying a Tesla I printed out the entire manual and had it spiral bound. It is an excellent example of a full owner's manual. The e-manual or whatever Volvo calls it is a pos. Here, see for yourself...

    And so it begins. Very soon, NC BBQ will be but a faint, unpleasant, memory. Let the pleasant wisps of hickory smoke wash over you as you start to imagine the glorious smoke ring and the truth will become clear.

    Well that certainly helps to explain the labels on all of your products/remotes. :beerchug: (I'M KIDDING!!)

    Indeed. I got a scare last month when my NAS "died". Fortunately it was just the power supply so I didn't lose anything. Regardless, I still keep an 8TB drive in a safe deposit box at the bank that I bring home 3-4 times per year to backup the NAS.

    We moved all of our documents to the iPad a few years ago. We only carry one paper manual in the cockpit now. It's the "something bad just happened manual" and most of us prefer the paper version to the electronic version when things get busy. To answer Jason's question, I'm fine with either...

    We bought a new car in December. It did not come with a manual other than a brief "selected topics" booklet. One can look at an e-manual online or in the car itself. However, there is literally no way to read it cover-to-cover if one is so inclined. Pick a topic, it gives you a link. Want...

    Like BBQ and Tacos, the best tamales are at the small mom & pop stores. Nice.

    I've got that one, too. It's also on Qobuz. And, yes, I do like it. :beerchug:

    You came to some conclusions there (detail rendering monster which can fatigue you, plenty of plankton, which is likely why...) that I don't agree with. I don't know for sure, but I doubt there are many Yggy owners who started out with OG and subsequently "upgraded" to LIM or MIL. Also, the...
