I don't like the look of the plain T600, but with the nice white glow effect, that looks amazing! I would try that, but I need to sleep with the computer in my room :d Amazing set up.

Some poor iPhone 4 shots of my desktop workstation.
 

 

 
Not sure why the 1st image is rotated.

It happens from iPhones for some reason (at least it did with mine as well). My new Galaxy Note works fine no matter what orientation they were taken in.

TBU and THM are my 1 and 2 albums of all time. The man is brilliant.

There have been a lot of us lately with his album coming up (and 2 more later in the year). Especially in the Electronic thread.

I can only assume you are too.

Hi long time lurker here, got a quick question.
 
For all you guys using the output of the sound card to go to both your headphone amps/dacs AND the pc desktop speakers, how is it connected? Is it soundcard -> splitter -> headphone amp AND powered desktop speakers?

 

[J.Pocalypse]

No. A lot of AMP/DACs have SPDIF/RCA/XLR on the rear, and a headphone jack on the front.

It's always best to bypass you soundcard with digital out, and let the external gear crunch the numbers.
 
Digital Out FTW

IF the soundcard in question doesn't happen to have quality analog outputs.

I did not know he was releasing another one.  I have both of the ones you mentioned and will keep an eye out for his new ones.  What's the link to that thread?

Come on in and link some of your favorites. There's a lot of Dubstep and DnB in there, but there's plenty of Trance and Chill stuff, too. 
 
He actually has 3 albums coming out this year. The follow up to TBU, a new album described on his site as 'M83 time stretched', and the mix compilation 'Laptop Symphony'.

If you head to his Soundcloud he actually has a song from each posted (3 songs total 2 of which are downloadable in AIFF)
 
I don't think you get how excited I am for the next few months.

No case, as you can see - in fact it may add to SQ - no nasty reflections bouncing around, plus -not clear in pic but PSU is app 700mm from mobo-again less chance of neg interference
RE: the JPLAY references, maybe Foobar is upset that JPLAY makes it sound much better than Foobar managed
I use JPLAY, JRiver for casual, background listening and JPLAY mini with full hibernate mode for serious sessions - nothing I've heard comes close

 
"no nasty reflections bouncing around"
 
 
Sorry but this sounds completely ridiculous. Can you explain this in more detail?

I think he is referring to RFI being reflected off metal panels in a computer case and then picked back up by cables and PCB traces on the motherboard.  Unless you are running a graphics card or noisy internal HDD I would highly recommend running an open case with a passive CPU heatsink if your CPU selection will allow - it is just more efficient and simple as you don't need case fans, and will probably reduce the amount of RFI/EMI being transmitted to the USB receiver of your stereo equipment.  OF course if someone has the engineering knowledge to be able to run off some calculations to show the magnitude these effects may be having that would be great, most computer-as-transport tweakers seem to be a little vague in the numbers/figures department.
