When you purchase a video game just to rip its tracks to lossless

When you take your brand-new Sennheiser HD 650's from their fancy box, connect your brand-new DAC to your PC, and connect your brand-new amp to your brand-new DAC ... all by instinct. Then, a few hours later, you can't figure out how to get the HD 650's back into their box. You have to watch a YouTube 'unboxing' video to discover they won't go in because you're doing it backwards.

Already had MGS4... no blu ray drive to even attempt this rip though. Way to go Sony, make magic and leave me stuck trying to find where in that massive game that track plays just to hear it!

Blu-Ray drives are expensive, but at least PS3 games are a universal standard. Try ripping a Nintendo 64 game's tracks....

If Sony was nicer, I'd still have linux on my PS3 and I could rip things there. I never got it figured out enough over the short time I had linux on there to rip them.

i can't really do that... i don't know anyone who has high end headphones like i do... they dont even know why i need an dac or a headphone amp.

I know what you mean.  To me, a dac is such a fundamental thing, but I feel like when I explain it to people, I have to really dumb it down.

I used to use my PSP as my music player, then I found out what a DAC was and I stopped...

what is the dac inside of a psp?

Something very terrible, almost definitely. Haven't looked it up... might do that next time I open my PSP.
