  After a few pages of the DSD/PCM/provenance/upsampling/etc debate, do you wonder why so many people think us audiophiles are a little bit nuts?
 
Time to listen to some music, I think. Does it sound good? Yep. Then all is well.

Is that pretty much what your wife boss would say? I like what she said about the Magni.

I'm gonna generalize this and say "money" is way too dangerous for audiophiles with OCD. Thankfully/unfortunately, we (or at least *I*) tend to run out of it pretty quickly.

 
Absolutely, this is the big challenge with most hobbies - where to draw the line in spending money.

Well I'm glad to hear that everyone is alright after an indoor Schiit-storm.

Thanks for sharing, Jason (and Alex!). It's one of the nice touches of working directly with your customers, and it makes me like Schiit even more. Good luck drying out

Man, that touches a nerve. Over the weekend, almost bought four items including two amps but left them in the cart and shut my Mac down. Whew !

Not only that, the most important thing to ask is, is our "favorite" music already available in DSD format?!?! And the answer 95%+ of the time will be a resounding NO!!! I'm not even looking into DSD nor will I if all I will get are some obscure recordings that I will probably not even enjoy... so yup!

Amen. Now can we all get past this DSD stuff and bury it in the cemetery of dead formats with HDCD and such?

No way! I'm going to Wikipedia straight away to read about about DSD and get this place roaring again!
