On my download list, it’s next to the .tar file. I hit .tar first and while waiting, download the artwork.

Another costly addiction: Met Opera On Demand. We’ll just do the free 7 days. Well, let’s extend a month. Another month. Better get the year to save $

5.0.5 ? I'd like to try!

I am using Audirvana, too. I run it to Hugo 2 and Beyer T1's. For the iPhone, it is different--on the go. I am thinking of some form of portable streaming device. AK Kann? Kann cube? I had hoped for "2Go" but its been quite a while. I enjoy your blog. Its an excellent resource for me purchasing the downloads. I am grateful.

Agreed. To build a hi res library of purchases, I’m buying at 50% off or better. Im curious as to what others are using to stream Qobuz... ?

With Chord Dac, I was advised to not use software up sampling; let the DAC do its work as the original file is the important element.

I was hoping the two amps was product 1 and the phono was product 2 and the third product was.... ugh.

Thank you. I am hoping for 2Go announcement.

Any news from Chord?

A tad OT We’ve done a year subscription to Digital Concert Hall. Berliner Philharmonic With the great camera work and our KEFs attached to the TV, it’s addicting.

"Ring Without Words"! Last night, I started the book, "My lie with WAGNER" by Christian Thielemann. Fascinating read! I am reading about him as a boy, who could not be further from the norm or expected in life. It is interesting to read one, looking back through the years of maturity, upon himself as a prodigy. He has acute self awareness and in spite of his gifts, humility. I want to understand what Wagner did to him. I want to, even just a bit, experience it for myself. It seems to take a bit more effort than a 3 minute, 3 chord pop song. Just a bit.

I’ve been devouring bios of composers. Some were savaged by critics for “poor taste” while the audiences embraced the music.

Isn’t being accused of poor taste a rite of passage compliment?

I love live recordings. This one is energetic.

Thanks, Jud. How do you manage the filters? I checked "SoX" on the old version, but do not find it under preferences in the new. Also...for anyone--- if you use a good DAC (I am using Hugo 2), do you still use the forced upsampling or let the DAC do its magic?
