 But "he" started it ! (haaha). But he did. Really.

 

No need for me to take a deep breath, I'm very, very calm. Plus, I don't fear paper/keyboard  "Psycho's" as easy as you !

 

Cheers,

Fear not, I am a very passive guy. Honestly. Simply consider it to be some intellectual bantering ... (lol)

Pam: One other point. I'm not sure you understand the medical term of psychopath, or narcissism ?

 

But, I'm glad you brought it up. Take a look, see what it's about. Then, return to whatever you were reading/following on here, and report back.

You may very well have a new found appreciation of who qualifies.

(P.S. I will reveal, however, that (according to stat's/"data"), 1-3% of the population suffers from some of the most terrifying personality characteristics such folk possess. But what's even more scary, even if these reported percentages are 10X too high --let's use the 1% stat. So, with only 0.1% of the population so afflicted, a staggering seven-million roam the earth, and if  only 0.01% (of pop., 100-times less than stated), 700,000 such folk wreak havoc around the globe. Ouch indeed.

If there is something to fear, it's this astonishing reality.)

I now really, seriously, fear you. Good luck with yourself(ves). Outta here.

Pam ... You are too beautiful ! (I'm deeply, genuinely laughing here --as in a normal person, good-natured laughing. ) Yet, it's a scary statistic, sad but true. So remember, 1-in-100 people. How many folk live in around our neighborhoods ?

"Allhifi" apparently isn't aware of ALL hi-fi.He doesn't seem to know that those manufacturers he mentioned haven't all been offering those interfaces "for decades". (A few years would be correct in several cases)

There are good designers of famous brands who don't think I2s and Wrd Clk are the superior connections, especially not WC.

I even know of some who prefer well implemented AES.

 

"firedog" doesn't seem to realize i2S has been around for 20-years --if not longer.

Firedog realizes it has been around since modern digital was invented in the 60's by Sony/Philips. But in commercial products it was barely used before the last few years. Only a small number of devices by a couple of manufacturers.

What? (Why are you talking in 3rd person --you watching some old Seinfeld re-runs?)

 

There were several manufacture's in the 1990's (if not late 80's) using i2S. What are you talking about ? Or rather, what is "firedog"  thinking? And you, for that matter, if you wish to join in.

Jimmy needs to learn the difference between "intellectual banter" and being an a$$hole.

That's the guy ! Too funny ... (whether that was directed at me or him).

 

Good one.

Not very relevant. Were those products still in production in this century? Go back 8-10 years and tell me how many products were in production at that time using it. It was close to extinct in commercial products until i2S over HDMI came around. Products no longer being produced don't mean much if you are trying to tell us what a big player i2S has been for decades.

Fair enough. Let's just admit that the flawed SPDIF is not the best interface, and anything, anything that attempts to improve upon it is worthy of consideration.

BTW, a simple question: If you had to choose, would you consider SPDIF, or something else (for the best possible performance)?

Which photograph would you purchase?

 

Photograph by:

 

1. Average Joe photographer with a 100 megapixel medium format camera. 

 

Or

 

2. Ansel Adams with a Polaroid. 

 

 

Now switch this to DACs and interfaces. I'll go with S/PDIF from the best designers over i2s from a lesser designer any day. 

 

Talking about technologies in a vacuum doesn't advance the conversation and can really misinform people.

Art is purely subjective.  Audio isn't.  People make it so but there is a direct correlation to measurements but most want to overlook that for many reasons.

Perhaps my example wasn't clear. It has nothing to do with objective or subjective aspects. It was more to say that, in the hands of a talented designer, an spdif-based dac can out perform an i2s dac. Thus, the question about which interface someone would select, can't be answered in a vacuum.

I'd say that rings true for anything.  In the hands of a talented designer with the proper tools anything would be better than someone who doesn't have the knowledge and tools (whatever they may be).  You're a better forum manager than me cuz not only do you have the knowledge but you successfully do it daily.  ;-)

@The Computer Audiophile

 

I'm not sure why you guys are feeding this troll - clearly, you are more patient men than I. I've had it with this discussion, but I do remain interested in the original topic of this thread - the Auralic G2 series. So I figured - I could just ignore allhifi, and it would be good, right?

 

Wrong. I clicked to ignore allhifi and checked all the boxes available, but I still see posts where he is quoted. 

 

Is it possible to add a "quote" option, where I'm even willing to ignore posts by "non-ignored" users who quote the user being ignored? That seems to be the only way to banish this scourge. from my screen. 

[The Computer Audiophile]

A bit to harsh and personal @tallica1. I had to remove your post. 

[tallica1]

Hi Chris: Quite supprised you would have deleted my post when he was doing nothing BUT slander a brand he knows nothing about! 

 

I greatly respect you and very disappointed with you..

[The Computer Audiophile]

Talking about a brand is very different from talking about a person. We allow one but try to curtail the other. 

 

Thanks for your respect and understanding. 

[firedog]

Chris and Jason got it right.

[Milt99]

Hope we're back on topic even if there's no new news.

So what were we talking about? 

[tallica1]

let's see... proven track record..

 

trust AURALIC or fake news?
