Lug holes means your ears. My dad used to say that a lot.We don't know what he might do in the privacy of his own home.
I think that's a Juggalo term.

And there's this:
I do! Preach on brother, preach on.I get that nobody likes a grammar nazi
What? "mQa" doesn't sit right with you?
"The albums playback as mQa on a DAC in my system that is a full mQa decoder."
"I set a baseline by playing my own local copy of the albums and make sure the HDCD indicator illuminates."
"Apple Music's lossless audio that I tested was 16 bit / 44.1 kHa"
" I connected the newest version of the Apple Camera Connection Kit to the iPhone, so I could attach a USB Audi interface"
"How did I find the same (sample) rate? Fortunately, the Apple Music app on iOS has auto sample rate switching, which enabled me to get the rate, then sixth (switch) back to my Mac to run the tests."
I agree that the article seems like it was published without even a cursory edit. Poor grammar notwithstanding, I'd prefer a more scientific approach than "the indicator didn't light up."
Having said that, the author conceptually agrees with several other online authors who have discovered that Apple's foray into lossless/HD music is, at best, half-baked.
I'm a Mac user but not an Apple Music user and nothing I've read makes me want to go back to iTunes/Music/Apple Music.
Now, what the heck does "his lugoles" mean?
edit: I get that nobody likes a grammar nazi, but the referenced article was pretty egregious for an established author.
Okay...So you are bringing an ancient Germanic God of War or something related to audio? I am betting 'tis the latter of those two! Does it possess VU Meters and a power switch up front so I do not have to do the "Schiit Reacharound"?I'll bring Tyr. Still green board prototype, but red board production is here...at least you can see why this is totally, totally insane.
Believe me, you don't want to.......We don't know what he might do in the privacy of his own home.
Well, us Europeans have always had a different view than prevails here ...........True. Privacy is highly underrated.
OK. I couldn't wait until the weekend to try piCorePlayer. Flashed an extra microSD card and got piCorePlayer all setup for Wifi and as a Squeezebox player. Set Roon for Squeezebox support and gave it a whirl. RPi 3B+ with Digi Pro HAT and piCorePlayer certainly closes the gap between S/PDIF coax out and my PC via USB to BF2, but the winner is still Unison. piCorePlayer is a bit better sounding than DietPi, IMHO, but Unison USB from my PC remains the champ!!!Not sure if it's DietPi, or my older Hifiberry Digi Pro HAT, but my PC connected via USB -> Unison BF2 is notably better than my RPi to BF2 via coax S/PDIF. Unison sounds more open and airy with a clearer top-end and wider soundstage. Makes S/PDIF sound a bit congested and muddy. I guess Mike wasn't BS'ing about the virtues of Unison. I'll try piCorePlayer this weekend and see if there's a diff.
I suspect I'll end up with a Pi 4 and USB connection to BF2/Unison. The Pi 3B+ and S/PDIF HAT is just for fun and education at this point.
S/PDIF (coax or AES3) depends a lot more on the quality of the source, both clock and other electrical characteristics.Not sure if it's DietPi, or my older Hifiberry Digi Pro HAT, but my PC connected via USB -> Unison BF2 is notably better than my RPi to BF2 via coax S/PDIF.

As the young discover when they get older.True. Privacy is highly underrated.
Hmmmm. I have a Schiit EITR in my closet. I wonder if Pi3 B+ USB out to EITR and then EITR S/PDIF coax to BF2 might further narrow the gap on my work from home station.S/PDIF (coax or AES3) depends a lot more on the quality of the source, both clock and other electrical characteristics.

I never got around to hooking my Eitr up to my Bifrost 2 just to test out the S/PDIF.So you are going to use Gen 5 USB just to use Coax, when Bifrost 2 essentially does the same thing for you? With Unison to boot. Thats Texas BBQ brain for you.
