    Time management

    Oh this conversation :) Let's start with the obvious.... Sleep and nutrition. Usually we all get to this frazzled stage when sleep time is lacking [or quality of sleep] and often at same time our nutrition is out of bounds for a healthy being.  These are the foundations of life.  So I'd...

    SolusVM SOLD and acquired by OnApp

    OnApp like most companies has had prior issues.  I expect the probably have some sore spots currently with a vocal subset of customers and/or former customers. Who doesn't though? OnApp seems to be doing more interesting things lately like pushing their cloud.net offering. I look at this as a...

    Audiophiles around here? Who is using a DAC?

    @blergh  The FIIO's look interesting.  Heck of a price (low). @pcan ... "I mainly use the headphones or a pair of bookshelf speakers (plus subwoofer) connected to a small tube amp I built a few years ago." So, for someone getting started in this area - without the tube amp and without a...

    Welcome to vpsBoard! (Read this first)

    I do believe you need to contact @MannDude for a manual name change.  There were some rules put in place a while back to prevent frequent username changes.

    Audiophiles around here? Who is using a DAC?

    :) Good ole @blergh . There is lots of "martketing" with lots of overpriced DACs.  Chin-import stuff likewise is potluck.  But yeah, I agree with your sentiments mostly. Goal is to get clean audio rendered for ears and shaped accordingly (that's post processing after the DAC).   Those ears are...

    Audiophiles around here? Who is using a DAC?

    Tell me more.  I am unfamiliar with the Topping brand, but recognize the PCM2704. How is the TP30 and what are you using it for? Does it couple to headphones, RCA jacks, other stuff without too much Ohm madness (seems to be issues with matching stuff and uncommon ranges on some of these DAC...

    Audiophiles around here? Who is using a DAC?

    For those inclined to care about DACs and the UCA202/222 this write up and it's good and covers some of the sentiments in detail.  Stumbled upon this looking for more spec and use info about the UCA202's: http://nwavguy.blogspot.com/2011/02/behringer-uca202-review.html

    Thanks Ald :) Working dudes and dirty hands and phones.. Or better, me with constant wet hands or humidity... Yeah swipping and these devices sucks.  I always get into lack of resistence with no reaction on swipe screens when working.  Pisses me off   multiple times a week.  A few phones have...

    Audiophiles around here? Who is using a DAC?

    @dcdan that UCA202 and the low latency UCA222 look alright for import side of things - if I don't go with a similar feature set in a USB mixer. Hard to find much issue with their $32~ price point....  This peaked my interest :)

    Audiophiles around here? Who is using a DAC?

    I totally haven't seen the UCA202 mentioned as a DAC.  Interesting.  We are talking about the same thing I do believe. Does the UCA202 plug in and get detected as an audio playback able device (i.e. a soundcard)? The straight DACs plug in via USB and really are similar process as a cheap USB...

    iPhone 6* & Apple Watch Discussion!

    Unsure what underwhelms me more, Apple crap or Google crap. The whole watch movement cracks me up.  Most of us stopped wearing and caring about watches many years ago when the clock function was built prominently into phones.  Back around when Blackberry was all the rage. So I need electronic...

    Audiophiles around here? Who is using a DAC?

    People seem to love / hate Behringer.  Long lived and somewhat confusing product line / numbering schema. I have a Behringer rack compressor / limiter / de-esser for shaping the final stage of the audio. The DAC [whichever I end up with] will go into the MDX unit I have.  It's just post...

    (Newb question!) How to divide a dedicated server into VPSes?

    :) Well, OpenStack and CloudStack are fine by me also...   Less likely to see big push from an open source platform as they are usually like here - you figure it out and RTFM, have fun and go bald in the process.  So limits who and what and lacks usually the polish and general market ready to...

    Audiophiles around here? Who is using a DAC?

    I've been cobbling an audio project for a while.   Some hardcore audio nuts out there with expensive audio suites and racks of sound adjustment gear. I am not one,  yet. Been banging my head for a while over the audio rendering from onboard audio cards in most stuff (i.e. portables, droids...
