The people who work at those stores get their jobs because they can do all the cool things with new phones. They do not, however, really understand the back end.
I was fortunate a couple of years back when a slightly wiser T-Mobile person informed me that the plan I was on had a discount for people 55+, saving me $50- per month.
All FB-enabled Schiit comes with a laser. When the device is activated or manipulated by FB, the laser fires a beam in the direction of the "remote control."
I think a laser is safer than a flame thrower.... or flare launcher ... ?
I think that is BS. They were either ill informed or didn't want to go through the effort of submitting a number port request.
There are VERY, VERY FEW instances in which a port request for transferring a number from one carrier to another cannot be fulfilled. I would contact your desired carrier (not the carrier which currently owns the number) and ask for a number portability check. Contact the carrier directly and not a store as they may be a franchisee and not as well trained. Your current carrier may also be able to provide this info. for you, but you'll likely be passed onto the customer retention department and have to deal with sales folks trying to keep your business.
* I have ported 100s of numbers for my company when moving from 1 carrier to another. Never had a port request denied. Sprint to AT&T to T-Mobile and finally to Verizon.
+1. The ONLY exceptions to number portability were small rural local exchanges that had not upgraded to current switching equipment at the time the FCC decision came down. That being said, there is a throttle in place preventing multiple changes in a given period of time
For the record, as a classically trained musician in a previous life, our hearing is not necessarily better. Years in the symphony have left me with a healthy dose of tinnitus.
I would still consider an accolade from someone of my ilk worthwhile praise.
I can reverse enginner the icons for the inputs on say an Yggy if I need to, and because I did the physical hookups, I know what's coming in over optical vs coax.
That's not going to work for my wife or any houseguest.
If the labels in the stack are Vali 3, Midgard, Syn and Gjallarhorn , that doesn't help her either. WE Schiitizens know what those are, but she does not. She needs to see "tubed h/p amp", "s/s h/p amp", "multichannel amp" and "speaker amp". Or something like that. Otherwise I have to make a cheat-sheet on paper to help her. Which kinda undermines the glamor of the smart, self-actualizing remote.
OTOH, she doesn't use my audio music system at all, partially because she finds it too complicated. Some would say that's not entirely a bad thing. I say nothing, because I have been married for 43 years.
So far, it's been confirmed that individual component names can be customized by the user in the app. ACP has thus far shown reluctance to text labels of specific buttons for each component in the app, but it seems many of us here would like them added but kept small and neat. So it may come down to you and your lady coming together on the naming of components and then her learning whichever of the icons she might use often should the text labels not show up.

I agree with what you said above, but Keith's habit of singing when playing the piano is on full display here. Most often this doesn't bother me, but OMG he is over the top on this one. Ruins an otherwise fabulous album IMHO.

Agreed, but your training and experience allow you to listen for different things. I recall last year when my friend was here listening to music via the Gungnir, Freya +, Lokius, and Asgard 3 and various tubes and headphones. With certain combinations, he said that the music was like sitting ~4 rows back, centre-stage, while with another combo, he said it was like being on stage. I have no on-stage experience (other than briefly drumming in a d-list rural bar-band for weekend cash as a teenager) so his professional experiences provided some interesting insights.
As they say, "Happy wife, happy life!"
I didn't do so well at this the first time (practice wife?) ... second go around has been significantly more successful

I prefer Happy spouse, happy house. More equitable as the above can also be interpreted as "happy wife, unhappy husband, happy life, divorce" or something.
