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

I hope the Forkbeard app will come with a silver option... :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
It would be helpful to many to have a 'daylight' mode for the app -- white-ish with black text and diagrams -- as for me, at least, it's much easier on my eyes.

I do alright with StreamMagic's 'dark' mode because it's not pitch black, but I dislike websites and apps that are black background-only. [Sorry Schiit, but that includes yours.]

He can set it in its side and admire either side of your exquisite work. Or flip it every 30 days if needed.
Yeah but only the top will have the VU meters duct taped down, I suppose I could build a mezzanine. :smile_cat:
I have Art Pepper meets the Rhythm section playing on CD and I must say it sounds incredible, just maybe that System Enhancer helped. The piano and drums sound a bit better, the sax was always incredible. I will await @bcowen's thoughts on it since he has one.

I just replaced 10 ga. Western Electric tinned copper with this cable. I am amazed with the increased detail.
Two posts now about this cable and not a one of them has identified what said cable is! 🙃

Thanks! I ordered a purple sparkly marker. I'll be sure to hold my breath as I mark the edges of my HDD platters. 👍
.... purple, right in the middle!

Ang
Room EQ Wizard, better known as REW, is acoustic measuring software. It is not DSP hardware/software. It's also free...

And you can create a FIR filter with REW.
I use REW all the time for speaker measurements, but never use it to create filters.

Sir Bill has kindly offered to send it my way for creation of an off-site archival copy. Given the level of tornadic activity in OK he feels a copy should reside outside of OK and no better place than TX since it has better BBQ. I told him I would be happy to keep a copy for archival purposes and check it periodically to ensure CD rot has not set in. :wink:

The real product is Nordost Valhalla 2 speaker cable. My knockoff version sounds amazing.

Roon does have a lot of features that I could use, but at age 81 the mathematical probability of ever amortizing the >$800 fee over my expected lifetime is negligible 🤪 🤪 .
I feel the same way, Roon would work on my system but I hate paying money to use the stuff I already own. I am 67 and hope to make another 20 years on the planet, and when I look at the yearly cost of Roon X 20, it is just too expensive. Especially since I know there will be many price increases in the next 20 years. Instead I use two raspberry Pi's to control what I need. One to access my NAS that has over a terra-bytes of Music in Lossless formats that I already own. This one uses Volumio software. The free version. The second raspberry Pi uses Mconnect so I can stream Qobuz. Mconnect was $5 and a no brainer. I
I do not use multi-room or remote access so most of Roon is wasted on me. The whole set up with power supplies, software, Memory cards and Pi’s was less than $250.00 one time cost.
