kumakuma Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Check out the name. Exaggerator? Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby Edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley Through the middle of my skull Link to comment
esimms86 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Check out the name. Jud, are you saying that all Nyquists in the world are audiophiles? Are you predicting that, come post time, Nyquist will hit the proverbial brick wall? Link to comment

esldude Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I think an excellent name for a derby winner would be "Bits ain't bits". Or maybe "USB and ME" Or "California Streaming". Or "Ripping ain't easy, but he's my brother". "parity bit" And finally, yes, I know you were waiting on the last one: "Checksum" or perhaps "Checksumthing" And always keep in mind: Cognitive biases, like seeing optical illusions are a sign of a normally functioning brain. We all have them, it’s nothing to be ashamed about, but it is something that affects our objective evaluation of reality. Link to comment

firedog Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Bummer: Nyquist was named for Swedish ice hockey player Gustav Nyquist who plays for the Detroit Red Wings. I am so surprised (NOT!) he wasn't named after someone only various technical specialist/researchers and audiophile nerds know about... Main listening (small home office): Main setup: Surge protector +>Isol-8 Mini sub Axis Power Strip/Isolation>QuietPC Low Noise Server>Roon (Audiolense DRC)>Stack Audio Link II>Kii Control>Kii Three (on their own electric circuit) >GIK Room Treatments. Secondary Path: Server with Audiolense RC>RPi4 or analog>Cayin iDAC6 MKII (tube mode) (XLR)>Kii Three . Bedroom: SBTouch to Cambridge Soundworks Desktop Setup. Living Room/Kitchen: Ropieee (RPi3b+ with touchscreen) + Schiit Modi3E to a pair of Morel Hogtalare. All absolute statements about audio are false Link to comment

audiophile65 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Nyquist -- it sounds like a new medication some big pharma company wants to push on TV commercials. Link to comment
