Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
Nov 12, 2014 at 1:47 PM Post #3,721 of 170,002
  ...there are a handful of examples that can justify the price based on performance or principles (I'm thinking of discrete resistor ladder DACs and the like, which are eye-wateringly expensive to get right)...

You had me worried there for a second, but then I saw the all important 'discrete'.  Yggy 20 bit  R2R is on a chip.
 
Now I just need to guess how the deglitching works.  I assume SH can be done at these frequencies without too much SH glitching.
 
Viz. 'nice to have' stuff with Yggy 2, I'm wondering about DSP crossovers done right.
 
Update: thinking about this a bit more, I can start to see some issues.  Doing this with the full R2R Yggy 2 channel set-up gets you to basically two Yggys in a box, one for the the regular 2 channels and one for the bass 2 channels.  One could probably get around this by going for a cheaper DS solution for the bass...is that the right place to economize?

I don't think so Jason was pointing at LHLabs, just hi end in general besides as a backer for them we got a very good price so well something's gotta give. He operates differently than Larry Ho and there's space for everyone in this market.

Putting that aside, step into a high end audio or home theater shop and as he says, the options will drive you mad.

Wow, that really looks nice. I love the bookmarks/table of contents. Great work.
 
BTW, anyone can use Calibre to convert it to other formats like epub, mobi, etc. Haven't tested it with this file yet though.

thanks :) and if it works with calibre i would be glad, would save me some work fuzzing around with LaTeX to epub conversion, which isn't too easy from what i've heard.
 
I think it should be re-written in second person, and the narratives should interweave ... try to work some song titles into there too, if you can ...

 
more like third person, i guess... something like this?

Nice, I'm glad I am not the only one that made their own file of it.
I just put it into word so I could read it at my leisure.
It works nicely on my kindle paper white in word format.
Word format was also much smaller size than a PDF. 338kb versus 1.5mb

Wow! I had no idea the story has amounted into so much text. Turns out I've read my first book in the past couple of years once the tale concludes.

Thanks a ton for this. Much appreciated. So convenient to have it all in one place. Now I can put on some good music, plug my headphones into my Schiit gear and have a good read. Cheers.
