Agree, and my thanks as well. After yesterday's music discussion here, I added ten albums to my Roon library from Qobuz including two new (for me) jazz pianists. Thanks also to @earnmyturns for being on the forefront of modern jazz artistry. I also snagged the more experimental David Bowie albums suggested by @Ableza.You've been nailing the recommendations lately. My play list thanks you
Gonna need to start up "Ripper Radio" before too long!

Saw Ziggy live in Long Beach back in 1972. Quite a show.I recall @sixergixer bringing up Bowie’s final album Blackstar, so I gave it a listen.
My all time favorite Bowie song is Ziggy Stardust. Such innovation in 1972.
Could be, but then why just in the left channel, and also happening for both balanced and SE out?Going by the FAQ tab from the Lokius page there is this:
Let’s talk tech. What about balanced to SE and SE to balanced in Bypass mode?
Balanced uses one phase of the SE, SE uses the positive phase of balanced.
I've not tried using Lokius as a multiplexer or switcher between two components, but would assume standard input values of 4V on balanced (from Modius) and 2V on SE (from Mani) and maybe you're getting some kind of signal imbalance in passive mode from the phase being used by the balanced inputs... This is just a guess based on the Lokius FAQ description of Bypass behavior, and I probably have no idea what I'm talking about.
Certainly worth an email to the Schiit folks for clarification in addition to asking the fine Schiitizens that haunt this place. Best of luck with a resolution to what sounds like a very frustrating situation!
There was a long, similar conversation about this behavior either here or in another thread.
Ha, i didn't notice I left off a C.
Bowie made a great alien in a 1976 movie, The Man Who Fell to Earth based on a 1963 book by Walter Tevis. Tevis also gave us The Hustler, The Color of Money, and The Queen’s Gambit.
Just wanted to share a quick impression since the Oregon Spirit is your product. First, I didn't realize the Bonded bourbon was also "single barrel," which I think adds interest since different bottles should have slightly different character. (My bottle is from barrel 190328#01 by the way.) I found the nose and taste interesting with some initial rye that adds a bite that I really like but is not as aggressive as something like Knob Hill Rye that I have tried using for Manhattans, then giving way to a complex and sweeter mild wheat or some other grain (or caused by some interaction that involves chemistry beyond my understanding.) I also liked the 100-proof bonded strength as it lets you know you are sipping something substantial, unlike lower-proof commercial brands that drink like high-corn-syrup soda pop. The Oregon Spirit is a fine sipping whiskey, both neat and with a little ice, and I suspect it would make great cocktails although I hesitate to dilute it that way.
