As I gaze at my black Modi 3E and black Vali 2+ in dim living room light, I think, "Got to be good looking 'cause they're so hard to see."

Virtual SchiitrMeet October
Hear the Singularity

Hey guys,

In science fiction, the Singularity has sometimes been called "the rapture of the nerds." This isn't our Singularity. Our Singularity(tm) is our own delta-sigma modulator, using our own filter, our own upsampling algorithm, and our own noise shaper. And you'll be able to hear our Singularity if you come and see us at the Schiitr on Thursday night.

Now, don't get too excited. This is not yet a product. It's not even in a chassis. This is something we're working on. And even when it's done, it doesn't mean the death of True Multibit. But, as Mike Moffat mentioned a while back, it's sounding pretty darn good. So I thought it might be fun to hear what you think of it.

Questions on Singularities (or multiverses)? Send them to Denise at denise@schiit.com.

I can't attend (too far from Abu Dhabi), and the timing will be bad for me too, but I sent a question to Denise anyway.

Silver. Always go with silver…

The slightly higher cost comes with safety benefits. Silver is like a high visibility jacket for your Schiit, less of a chance to trip over it at night! It's a problem we all face, right?
Right…?

Everyone knows black absorbs more heat, which keeps the components running hotter and less efficiently. Ergo, silver sounds better. My Jotenheim R makes me a little sad in that respect, but the Raal just sounds too good to care much.

Ok new topic, favorite song lyrics. I came across this one as I was going through old records. It is by far one of my favorites..

Harry Chapin Lyrics​

"Taxi"

It was raining hard in 'Frisco
I needed one more fare to make my night
A lady up ahead waved to flag me down
She got in at the light

Oh, where you going to, my lady blue
It's a shame you ruined your gown in the rain
She just looked out the window
She said, Sixteen Parkside Lane

Something about her was familiar
I could swear I'd seen her face before
But she said, I'm sure you're mistaken
And she didn't say anything more

It took a while, but she looked in the mirror
And she glanced at the license for my name
A smile seemed to come to her slowly
It was a sad smile, just the same

And she said, How are you Harry
I said, How are you Sue
Through the too many miles
And the too little smiles
I still remember you

It was somewhere in a fairy tale
I used to take her home in my car
We learned about love in the back of a Dodge
The lesson hadn't gone too far

You see, she was gonna be an actress
And I was gonna learn to fly
She took off to find the footlights
And I took off to find the sky

Oh, I've got something inside me
To drive a princess blind
There's a wild man, wizard
He's hiding in me, illuminating my mind
Oh, I've got something inside me
Not what my life's about
'Cause I've been letting my outside tide me
Over 'til my time, runs out

(Baby's so high that she's skying)
(Yes, she's flying, afraid to fall)
(I'll tell you why baby's crying)
('Cause she's dying, aren't we all)

There was not much more for us to talk about
Whatever we had once was gone
So I turned my cab into the driveway
Past the gate and the fine trimmed lawns

And she said, we must get together
But I knew it'd never be arranged
And she handed me twenty dollars
For a two fifty fare
She said, Harry, keep the change

Well, another man might have been angry
And another man might have been hurt
But another man never would've let her go
I stashed the bill in my shirt

And she walked away in silence
It's strange, how you never know
But we'd both gotten what we'd asked for
Such a long, long time ago

You see, she was gonna be an actress
And I was gonna learn to fly
She took off to find the footlights
And I took off for the sky

And here, she's acting happy
Inside her handsome home
And me, I'm flying in my taxi
Taking tips, and getting stoned
I go flying so high, when I'm stoned

(Sometimes I Feel So) Uninspired
Traffic

Sometimes I feel so uninspired
Sometimes I feel like giving up
Sometimes I feel so very tired
Sometimes I feel like I've had enough
Sometimes you feel like you've been hired
Sometimes you feel like you've been bought
Sometimes you feel like your room's been wired
Sometimes you feel like you've been caught
But don't let it get you down

There is no reason for not failing
You've got to smile and turn the other cheek
So today you might get up
But by tomorrow you'll be sailing
And you won't even hear these words I speak
Some people want to be so desired
Some people can't stand the light of day
Somebody's laughing while someone is crying
But for to want in the close of the day
But sometimes I feel like my head is spinning
I'm gonna cave with all I see
I don't know who's losing and I don't care who's winning
Hardship and trouble following me

Drop + THX AAA One. Needed something that's certifiably flat and neutral to test a bunch of things with. Paid 199 last week, now they ask 149.

Is there a chance this principle would apply to Schiit releasing the silver Loki Max? =-)

I believe you mentioned possibly being in the market for 2 units...maybe biting the bullet on one black version will finally bring silver Loki Max into existence!

Quiz Time. Guess the band and song from the lyrics!

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landside,
No escape from reality
Open your eyes,
Look up to the skies and see,
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,
Because I'm easy come, easy go,
Little high, little low,
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to
Me, to me
Mamaaa,
Just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger,
Now he's dead
Mamaaa, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, oooh,
Didn't mean to make you cry,
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all
The time
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, oooh
I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.
I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouch, Scaramouch, will you do the Fandango!
Thunderbolts and lightning, very, very frightening me
Galileo, Galileo
Galileo, Galileo
Galileo, Figaro - magnificoo
I'm just a poor boy nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family,
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go
(Let me go)(Never) Never let you go
(Let me go) (Never) let you go (Let me go) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me,
For meee
So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby,
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here
Nothing really matters, Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters,
Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows...

Ding, ding, ding...! Where do you want me to send your bottle of Texas Pete, since you won the contest...?

Queen : Bohemian Rhapsody

Oh, I miss Queen and Freddie Mercury. A great talent lost too soon.

Just saw this the other day. An A.I. rendering of what Freddie would look like, if still alive. Most impressive...!

Jason and whoever is responsible for parts procurement be like: People keep asking for a silver Loki Max. OK then, we'll order a few silver top shells when we do the next run, but this run needs to sell out first.

Everybody else be like: I'll hit Buy the very second Loki Max comes out in silver!

Meanwhile in Valencia: One or two remaining black Loki Max sitting on a rack, waiting to finally be bought by someone…

So you've been trying to read every post in this thread? I can relate. Try putting some of the more verbose on "ignore" and the inspiration might return.
