  So with more than 18 bits, sounds like we’re OK, right? (Thank You, Bigro, for posting this.)
 

 
Great, now he's going to get the Big(Ro)Head, like he needed that inflated any more.

I seem to have trouble fasting every night when I go to bed

I've seen multiple people on Reddit and Twitter refer to places like Head-Fi as "1990s style discussion forums", so as much as Jason says we're the future, I think we'll be obsolete ourselves before too much longer.

Make Audio Great Again...... ?

Stereophile is going to build a non obsolete DAC and Schiit is going to pay for it.

  2017, Chapter 2: "Obsolete."
...
“Stereophile called Yggy ‘obsolete.’”
...
As with everything, we’ll see how it goes.

Will you be responding to Stereophile's Yggdrasil review in their next issue's "Manufacturers' Comments" section?

I find this whole situation funny as its Stereophile that is obsolete.
 
Also this is a classic case of the more you say the more people will have to complain. Consider a $20k DAC and Ygg. The $20k DAC will sell you on the emotional out of body experience you will have when you listen to it, while Ygg explains how it achieved the the next level of technology. People can point at the tech and say how this and that is wrong, but they can't say anything about the lack of an emotional experience they didn't have with the $20k DAC. The Emperor's New Clothes.
 
Now I am not saying Schiit should change anything, they are on the right side of history.

  I think the argument could be made that audio as a hobby is obsolete..

 
When you get right down to it, most hobbies are obsolete. They consist of people doing things for fun or relaxation that could be more efficiently achieved by other (more up-to-date) means. You don't go fishing or hunting or gardening because you are hungry. You don't paint because the walls look a little bare. And there's absolutely no rational reason to listen to music at all. Wherein lies the glory of the thing, no matter what means we use to pursue it.
 
What bugs me more is people looking down on others' hobbies or approaches. Seems that passing judgment is one of the most popular hobbies of all...

Has anyone yet mentioned how tasty skewered sacred cow is?  Especially cooked over an open flame, with the right wood.   Mmmmmm.

BTW, who else would like to see Jason start a thread on "bio-hacks" and health in general? Perhaps in the lounge section, if they still have that?
 
I know, here I am making more work for Jason...
 
I'd apologize, if I were sorry...
 
OK, after you get Vidar and Chthulu (sp) done...

I'd read it for sure. I've been doing intermittent fasting all week, so it was a trip to read Jason talking about it.

Sacred cows make the best hamburgers, just grind them up and throw them on the flames.
