point 1 just because I haven't become 'enlightened' in YOUR opinion; I must be missing something. How is that objective

you say one thing, but then contradict yourself; the language you use belies your true feelings; ie. that you think you know best and I therefor must just be closed minded or dim for disagreeing with you

you just illustrated my point I have no desire to make you 'concede' only that you stop preaching that your enlightened opinion is somehow more valid than mine. So if I just thought about the 'definite truths' (<-what the hell are they) a little more, I might come around to your way of thinking???

I don't know what to say to that... you are soooo deluded ,you actually believe that you've been accepting of others opinions. In my first post I agreed with you on a few points; and then stated that I wished you hadn't been so preachy but you were entitled to your opinion. Then I went on to state my feelings on the matter. Which are that the quality gained by using an amp/LOD etc was worth it to me even if it wasn't as convenient and I didn't expect it (porta-fi) to be as good as home hi-fi; only that it was as close as was possible in the portable realm. I too wish that there was a more viable solution, or that there was a DAP manufacturer that ticked all the boxes; but there isn't (nor is there likely to be) so I have to make concessions for that. If you aren't happy to, then thats cool, but it seems that the only thing that is going to satisfy you is if someone designs a DAP that sounds as good as a home source (not going to happen) and seeing as your went to the top of the mountain and were still not satisfied, it's doubtful that you will ever be satisfied and always be bitter about something. Thats cool just don't inflict it on me!!! I know I can just ignore you and that would be the easiest thing to do; but with you shouting from the rooftops like that and making personal judgments on me, I cant 'just roll over'; when did I ask you to roll over? I just asked that you keep your judgements to yourself. If you want to do something about your situation, design your own DAP; its the only way you are going to get what you want. it seems that no amp gives you the sound you are after and likely neither will any that is designed in the future; the problem is with the source. Good as the IMOD/DIYMOD is, its not good enough for you it seems.

Exactly, but apparently we don't; because we're too busy with our 'ignorant contentment' and simply aren't getting down to the 'definite truths' not realizing what the 'most informed route' to the 'definite reality' is.

fine with me I'm finished now. ??? But when were you actually open to 'discussing it? only spewing it

hahahahah now you are talking about a smaller amp; you weren't happy with the sound of a larger one so how exactly is this one going to stop that? is the fact that its smaller going to make it sound better? well.... I suppose the signal paths are shorter
I thought you were finished with portable hi-fi anyway???

If your priorities are the ignorant contentment of whatever it is that's already fulfilling you - then we just have a core difference in values, as some of us are concerned with a more definite reality of things. Which does not mean that we feel that personal tastes do not exist, we're just, seemingly, a little more open to their being angles involving definite truths that are also in play. |

If your priorities are with what's real, then I have to implore you to consider far more angles to life than subjectivity. And to be aware of what kind of situations the subjectivity cards get used. Subjectivity has a very long history of convenience to the self. |

What more can I say to a pair of fellow hobbyists intent on making me concede strictly on the notion of personal taste w/ithout having themselves made any sort of bother on the merits of design and definite truths |

I just won't rollover and accept "personal taste" alone without having explored the aspects that are the most rock-solid to me. Especially when I have at all points in this thread been in acknowledgment of what you are resting your claims for possibility that I'm full of it on. |

I'm just not rolling over for that, guys - Especially when I have a brain that really feels like it knows exactly what is going on here. |

So, if we could, get back to portable hifi? I'm still interested on the minibox d / f stuff I wrote on - I'd like to hear from others |
