Thanks so much for part 1 @DuckToller! The Prince references aren't lost on this Minnesotan :~)

 

P.S. Love the fink quote as well.

Excellent write-up and looking forward to Part 2.

 

@The Computer Audiophile It‘s not just Prince, but the pic with the lake and the dog, that also make me a bit homesick for the Land of 10,000 Lakes!

Hi @baconbrain,

first of all: Thank you !

the settings is the Loire river valley in the Centre region  of France. The dog, however, is an North-American breed.

Beautiful Spot!

 

Now you have truely made my childhood connection given that my father, who is a Nova Scotian, then taught school most of his life at BSU in Minnesota.

Really enjoyed reading your review.  Interesting selection of music!  Thank you.  

 

And just so you know there are multiple audiences for your work, my wife walked in, proclaimed your dog beautiful, and walked out.

Thank you very much for the nice words !!

Actually, the setting ist our dogs favorite place for a swim outside the canine-deadly cyanobacteies season (July-September). As Frisby loves to be an early bird (contrary to his sister), I took him with me that morning. The session was between 06:30 and 08 o'clock. He was so remarkable cool with me being busy and not throwing disks for him that I took some pics from him as well.
Here is my favorite one from that morning - for your wife only 😉

Truly beautiful (will show my wife later and know she will love Frisby)!   I really enjoyed all the photos, with the creative groupings, as well as the quotations.   Unlike in fiction, it is fun to see the authors personality in the "story."

I forgot; kudos for the pictures.

I just received my Revolution Dac with the remote Control and Flex cable. For the meantime i am using my RPI 3B+ with Moode Audio and not the Boss Dac . I have a n RPI4B on the way and getting wired soldered underneath the GPIO pins ti bypass the USB=V power input. I use Moode Audio. The flex cable is short so the Pi and case and next to each other. I placed the original Audioquest Jitterbug to reduce noise from the USB port. The cable i use for my external hard drive has the power cut ad I use an external power supply for it.

 

Within Moode, I changed (from the Boss 1.2) the hardware Volume mixer to Zero so Moode does not Control the volume.

 

So far so good, more to come.
