What about Wifi? Only the Archos has that, and its a big ugly sunofabitch compared to the Touch.

Cool post SONGsanmanwah... I've always enjoyed reading interpretations of highly metaphorical/poetic songs. The songs are few and far between, and interpretations of them are even less so. It'd be interesting to read your take on all the songs off the new Shins album... Past Shins albums had...

Very good album... I don't listen to Rap/Hip Hop much, but I find this album to be much more accessible to rap fans and non-fans alike by effortlessly combining conventional melody with hip-hop beats and rap. Stronger is just amazing.

You misunderstand in thinking that DVD audio tracks (DTS/DD) are higher quality than CD. This is not the case, most DVD audio tracks (with exception to PCM) is lower in quality than CD.

Chaintech AV710 with its Wolfson DAC? Or were you looking for something higher end?

I recommended them to my bro after reading this thread... I am very, VERY impressed by them at the price ($75 canadian!). For computer speakers, these things blow the competition OUT OF THE WATER. He recently upgraded to the Chaintech AV710 soundcard, where he first had it hooked up to the...

Hopefully he'll take more control over the engineering and mixing in future releases... From his blog, it sounds like he is an audiophile himself, and I'd love to hear him on a well-mastered recording. Continuum was decently mastered, but Heavier Things was horrible.

His first few albums were pure pop in order to gain popularity and support from record labels... Continuum was definitely an evolution in his sound to the music he TRULY likes to play. I wouldn't be surprised if his future albums become more and more bluesey as the record labels give him the...

She opened for Arcade Fire in Vancouver... She was pretty good, I shall check out her album.

With the Hoffman rip, I can stick it in my car and crank it up so the bass rivals any hip-hop/rap album... Imagine the look on people's faces when they first hear thumping from a distance, only to hear mariachi bands and bagpipes when they hear where the bass is coming from :-P

This thread reminds me of the guy who wanted an SACD player that ONLY played SACD with no CD playback capability whatsoever.
