Absolutely, it's not work if you like it. It also helps if you have a few skills to go with it. In your case you could pilot the plane, manage a cardiac arrest on board and fight off a terrorist attack...and that's just before lunch !👌

So, an underachiever then !!😜🤣😁

Thanks David for the reply and clarification. This will be a first for me using a Linux operating system. I will be setting up JRiver MC on the id for a friend and for which it has been purchased. The id has been purchased and shipped 5 November 2020 and am still waiting for the delivery here in Australia 28 November. The good folk at J River warned me that there would be delays. I should check the tracking link! Cheers

A friend of mine is wanting to buy a JRiver Id to connect directly to his USB DAC, an Emotiva Stealth DC-1. The Emotiva manual states it supports UAC2 - USB Audio Class 2. From the Interact forum JimH notes that Id has Debian (not Samba as stated in Wiki). A Linux distribution may support UAC2 but apparently still not work with a specific DAC. Does anyone have first hand knowledge of an Id working with the Emotiva Stealth DC-1? Cheers and thanks

and...

Funny, I was agreeing with other posters' comments. It's ironic that you make a sarcastic personal attack about what you perceive to be a sarcastic personal attack. Perhaps you have a "App" that detects sarcasm and personal attacks in *every* conversation". I would like to know if this is "self validating"? 😁 <- emoji of absolution -> 😜

Exactly so... Déjà vu Yep 1+ A plea falling on deaf ears He does not Yep Yes but he has a "self- validating" App.....the kind they like at ASR ! 🤣🙄

gentleman, I am out of my wheelhouse here so please be kind. The whole balanced and differential thing has confused me for decades. I know my amplifier manufacturer goes to great pains to point out that it is truly balanced and fully differential (or words to that effect). In an effort to educate people like myself and for that matter help guide the OP in his question it would be helpful to get to the bottom of all of this. I do wonder whether both of you just may be be talking about circuit symmetry/polarity rather than, or as well as, balanced interfaces. I stress I wonder, not c

It's the same with unpleasing distortion. A "self-validating" App should sort this conundrum 🤣🤷‍♂️

Hi Kal, agreement (concordance) between choices is not necessary to establish a correlation between variables. In statistical terms correlation and concordance (magnitude of agreement) both indicate strength of association between variables but are conceptually distinct. correlation of variables can be assessed for variables that look at completely different constructs. "wildly different choices that individuals make in building a system" and non agreement due to "different criteria and value systems" does not exclude a possible correlation of say price and desired outcome.

All audiophiles prefer a treated room. I know this from my mentor, the unnamed guru who told me so 🙄

D is a fail !

I object Sir ! I banish Ye to ASR

I object Sir ! I have measurements !

I object Sir ! Trash can and should be recycled !😁
