Digital line-up from yesterday evening. RIP Neil.

What a loss, what a great drummer and what a rock and roll trio! RIP Neil.

I have changed gain jumber setting in my G103S headamp and DT990 become more vivid, faster and spacious. In the default setting which was 0dB relative or +8dB absolute they were sorta too laid back and muddy. Now with +6dB relative or +14dB absolute they started singing IMHO. Could it be the case?

Hello, Here is the list of recordings I have been listening for this week evenings - like them all actually, maybe you'll like them as well. Enjoy!

Exactly, @damien78?

Yes, Rega DAC-R is 24bit DAC and I don't see any audible reasons to upsample instead of using each particular DAC resolution modes, but maybe I am wrong...

So in general, should I always upsample using SoX in 3.5? if so, in which mode: power of 2, maximum of the DAC or what and why? Mine supports 24/192 pcm at max, having also 88.2 and 176.4kHz.

Tubes in your amp may tamper them a bit IMHO.

I have listened this latest The Who record and I actually like it. It's not superb, but has such rock and roll taste, kinda post punk vibe. Could be better mastered of course, but overall - it is enjoyable.

Maybe one warning that Means Of Escape by Danny Bryant is awfully badly mastered, very loud, almost no room for dynamic - DR4! - at least CD version.

Many thanks @blue2 - lots of new recommendations for me. It will keep me listening whole week ;-) Many thanks again.

This is not indication that Direct Mode is active, it's just turned ON, but if works, different story IMHO.

Really where is the indicator that Direct Mode is actually active?

Is it really 24/96 resolution?

Well, I have just realized, that maybe the indicator is not green/light up only, but the mode is actually ON, will double check. So Direct Mode is also present by default in El Capitan right? How to check it?
