So let's try that again.

[source=digital] --> [Gadget=digital] --> [DAC=digital-to-analogue] --> [Jil=analogue-to-digital] --> [recorder=digital (e.g. laptop)]

Looking at that chain, I'm sure there's a more efficient way. But it's Sunday, and I haven't had enough coffee to worry about it.

That would work to demonstrate what kind of transformation the Gadget performs, while introducing artifacts from an unknown DAC and JIL.
If someone wanted to get the best possible impression of what the Gadget sounded like in their system, short of using one, a bitperfect signal transport from the Gadget to a downloadable file would be very much preferable. I don't think Schiit has any other product that's as easy to get a free demo of, anywhere in the world, as the Gadget. That's pretty cool :)

Early on, Mike processed some tracks to demonstrate what The Gadget did, and gave them to me (and a few others) as files. It's possible we could do this again, but (I think) we'd have to actually go through the ASCAP licensing, if the demo tracks were going to be widely available. It's best to ask Mike about this on his thread, maybe we can make this happen.

Or you and Mike could write and perform your own songs! :smile:

Right, licensing is definitely the trickiest aspect of this. There are various sites that offer free/royalty free music that is in the public domain or CC licensed, etc.. I have never used them, though. Here is some classical music where the $25 standard license (per recording, presumably) would have you covered for any commercial use, in case that is worth it to you: http://www.freemusicpublicdomain.com/royalty-free-classical-music/
This site only seems to have Creative Commons licensed tracks, but that should in some cases work for you, too: http://freemusicarchive.org/genre/Classical/
I am not a lawyer, of course.

There are more sites - maybe someone on this forum has experience with this? Are you buddies with David Chesky by any chance? :-D

Of course, I don't know what tuning they use, so apart from the license, music selection would be additional effort. But the premise of the Gadget seems to be that the modern tuning doesn't sound as good, so that should be easy to find :)

Anyway, I appreciate you thinking about it. I'll leave a pointer in Mike's thread.
