So I've finally found the grinder for the absolute best coffee ever. And you can get THREE for the cost of an MSB Diamond Select DAC!!

Good lord.

MSB's *gotta* be doing sattellite GPS (fundamentally adc/dacs involved) to the millimeter for the government (at 100 miles out), where you take into account/calculate relativity (they actually do this for GPS as it is now) (yep Einstein's theory of relativity).

-- then doing audio dacs on the side, maybe they were slightly out of spec, crashed a rocket... or, maybe it's just jewelry. ;D

And only $3,000 to add a volume control! How can they make a profit at such giveaway prices?

So you could probably buy one each of everything Schiit, Mr. Speakers, and Audeze makes and still have money to buy Grados for the price of that DAC. I’m pretty sure that I cannot hear the difference between that DAC and a Yggy.

Does this mean MSBs are export restricted?

Debating taking a trip to Chicago in March for Ariodante. Also looking at a NY trip sometime this season, as my best friend is relocating from Seattle to Brooklyn sometime this fall.

Caught a wrong note in Serkin's first of the Beethoven concerti with Ozawa and the BSO, some 4:38 into the first movement. In the right hand, he plays an F when he means to play an E.
