I have boxes and boxes of CDs, most of which haven’t seen the light of day since they were ripped

Mine are nicely displayed but like you, they've stayed in their jewel cases since they were ripped. Or, for most of them, since they were re-ripped. Didn't know any better when I started and ripped everything to MP3 the first time around.

Her interest in audio is closely paralleled by my interest in her shoes. But we've managed over the years to humor each other on an equitable level.

Huh. I never would have guessed that you have a woman's shoe fetish. To each his own.

I'm more interested in what comes in the shoes...! And no, not toe jam...!

I saw that. Where did Schiit announce it? There's nothing in this thread nor on schiit.com.

 

[Ripper2860]

Probably won't see it announced just yet.

"The new pulley is currently being prototyped and will go into production within the next 3-4 weeks..."

However, I did trial a top end streamer a few months ago and I preferred using its AES output to my Ygyy to its USB output.

Admittedly the streamer did not have Unison USB, but by all accounts it did have a well-designed and galvanically isolated USB output.

I really expected the newly installed Unison USB input on my Yggy to sound the ‘best’ so I was very surprised that ( to my ears) it didn’t!

Unison is very good, but the right AES source can sound a bit better. I've also found that "top end" is highly variable. A relatively low cost AES source (Pi2AES + Pi4B with Meanwell SMPS) can do wonders with Yggdrasil, beating more expensive sources, including some USB ones. Not by much, but noticeable nonetheless.

I use a fountain pen. I have a quill and some ink on the way from Amazon Prime...

for streaming, i think the newer processors will have better sound quality, not only faster and more CPU processing speed, but the newer chips have lower power consumption = less noise on the digital grounds. Those with older Pi2 or Pi3 boards and higher-end DACs might consider upgrading to Pi4 to see if they can detect any changes.

Understandable, but the headline is "Schiit announces Sol Turntable Pulley Update"....

Bourbon was invented to supply used oak aging casks to the distilleries of Scotland.

No, it's more on the sweet side. My favorite Aberlour is their 16 yr single malt. I recommended the A'bunadh only because it is cask strength (about 70%) for the person who said Scotch didn't have enough alcohol...

A very nice whisky @Ableza
I don’t drink a lot of whisky but I do enjoy the occasional dram of a single malt.
As well as the peaty Islay malts, I also like 12 year old Highland Park.
The distillery is on Orkney ( unlike Islay , I haven’t visited) and is a lovely, slightly sweet whisky.
Here in the UK it is also reasonably priced.

I’m partial to Talisker. But anything peaty is great: Laphroig, Kilchoman, Ballechin, Octomore...

I'm on the opposite side of that discussion. Too much peat and I'm out.
