BTW the BorderPatrol DAC sounds really great IMO. High value--but as previously mentioned it does have a tube.

My 17 year old bass player asked me to post this for the consumption of the old funk guys. It is Cory Henry and the Funk Apostles. Most you probably know that Cory Henry also plays with Snarky Puppy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G8jNEbi4YU 
Pre amps cost vs. value ... what I discovered last month.
@brianlucey Specifically, I agree that SR appears to be a manufactured market manipulation designed to convince the consumer that there is "more and better" to be heard at higher SRs whether it be via HD Tracks or MQA. While it seems there is some...

Ah...on 06.09.18 at 5:11pm OP hammers the nail directly on its head.  IMO this is a great post on SR and its relationship to what we hear.

@frogman Wow! Thanks for the great link. The drumming is fantastic. Denard was in the pocket (ala Steve Jordan) for more than 5 minutes before "Gonna give it the drummer..." gets rolling. Skills on display. And the bass player ain't bad either. @m... 
Music Server Recommendation
I own the Antipodes DX3 and I am very satisfied with it. I agree the EX+CX is intriguing, although Antipodes keeps changing the top of the line up, which can be a bit frustrating. The National Sales Manager is easy to deal with and straight up and...

Talk but not walk?
@jf47t I suggest you leave it where it stands. MG's gone and you shouldn't have to shoulder the heavy lift he left behind. Let the thread die; it is better than continuing the back and forth.RegardsAl

Last night I listened to Cold Blood's Sisyphus album (1970). It contains "Your Good Thing (Is About to End)", a song written by Isaac Hayes and David Porter, and made into a Top 20 Billboard hit in 1969 by Lou Rawls, although first recorded by Mab...

@veroguy Thanks for posting both the links and your thoughts. Welcome to the thread.@aniwolfe Thanks for contributing. 
Talk but not walk?
Hmm...happy people, angry people and cherry pie. This is a weird thread. This thread hasn't made me happy or angry and hasn't delivered anything close to cherry pie. My summary: OP started out shooting at unnamed "talkers" that refused to be "walk... 
Tidal and MQA..two questions.
@taww Yes, I experience the phenomena you describe. I now listen to new things on TIDAL and if I like them I buy the CD and rip it to my server. Generally (but not every time) the 16/44 from the ripped CD onto the server has better SQ than the 16/...

+1 marktomaras I read the offending comment. It was wrong to post it. I read the apology. It was right to post it. It is the mature, appropriate thing to do after making a mistake. I wish I had done more of it in my life. I contend that two of the...
