I do find it funny how the GOP goes on about history, but forgets the history of the Pledge. It was written by George Thatcher Balch as a pledge for the union: "I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." (in...

I thought you were Ashkenazi Jew. I think it also funny you think you know God's word. What text do you go by? How is that God's word when it's been translated and interpreted by the ages. You have inferred what your opinion is of trans people.

So a woman who has Turner syndrome is not woman in your view because she has a genetic abnormality to be infertile. Gender being silly: even though that is a definition defined in science. Keep going into pseudoscience!

Where did I claim a man can be a woman? I pointed out you don't understand the science about sexes vs gender. I also pointed out you were acting like you're a minority, but now claim to be Christian (that while at one point were 90% Americans, are still 63% of Americans). I also find it funny...

LOL...that explains a lot. You people used to be called Jews for Jesus: now you're claiming Christian Jew :grinning:

Is this the first thread where "woke" was brought up at the start? Usually I've just seen threads being audiophiles exclaiming they have a new theory of audio science based on what they've heard.

Oh god, now we're back to the worst of MAGA wokeism. I especially like how these folks go on about "trust the science", then don't accept science. Such as this principle that there are two "sexes" with humans, but different "genders" (and lets also not consider people who have sexual genetic...

I don't know why we're on this tangent. Many American Jews identify as Ashkenazi because they were the Eastern European Jews who immigrated to the US before 1917. They were escaping the pogroms of Russia/Belarus/Ukraine/Lithuania, etc. Genetically, they remained a distinct group because they...

Sorry: bfreedma alerted me that I conflated a quote of his over tylerindianapolis: my stance has been that I'm also Ashkenazi Jew with my dad's side of the family (my mom's being Scotch Irish). Within US politics, we've seen a rise in antisemitism and anti-science (part of it being anti-vaccine...

How is this not on topic? The OP started with wokism and is now focusing on Godwin's law? Why blame me for his insistance with rhetoric? The one thing I think his rhetoric proves: "woke" is now another word for someone who is a "skeptic" of science (IE doesn't want to understand it).

You're the one who has claimed you've "won" against computer scientists....yet you do nothing but run on rudimentary internet rhetoric.

Yet you keep interjecting it. It's because you have nothing scientifically, so you're reaching for the moon with all your anti-scientific rhetoric (including quickly going to Godwin's law).

I'm also one: with relatives buried at Tree of Life: so I find it even more reprehensible you go to Godwin's law. Is this really how you've "won" against computer science people?

Sure, you're really winning here with going from "woke" to "nazi". So you're doing classic Dunning-Kruger and Godwin....and previously went with "woke".....I do still applaud you with your trolling.

The OP is saying that it's the same headphone and USB DAC....that there's still an audio difference between the two if plugging in an Android device or iPhone. It's possible there is an audio difference if you do level match the two: we're not talking about a direct connection-there could be...

LOL....I applaud you for going to "this is woke" so quickly. As someone who engages with anti-vaxxers on the internet, I've noticed "woke" started as culture war in politics and now anyone who is against the scientific community. Instead of trying to understand scientific consensus....they...

Latest news is that ByteDance (the Chinese owner) would rather let it shut down in the US than divest. LibsOfTikTok will have to change her handle....flat Earthers, anti-vaxxers, and urine therapy promoters will just have to be from other sources in the world. Also pretty sure that muckbang...

Both. Since audio stimuli is a perception processed in the brain, your mood and amount of attention spent on listening affects your perception of audio. There are both afferent (towards brain, sensory) nerves, as well as efferent (away from brain, motor) nerves. The environment/and or your...

DTS mode = DTS:X (native object based 3D audio) or DTS Neural:X (upconverted 3D from 2.1/5.1/7.1 audio). Atmos mode = Atmos (native object based 3D audio) or Dolby Surround (upconverted 3D from 2.1/5.1/7.1 audio). Again, in DTS mode, it will upconvert 2.1/5.1/7.1 (or that stream from a Dolby...

What TV do you have? If you don't want to tell me, I can't look up specifics about it and possibly help with seeing what picture settings it has for Dolby Vision. So we'll just have to leave it there. If you enjoy the settings for your TV, great. The only thing I ask is that you don't...

It seems it's you who aren't listening. Take for example audio. You claim you like Dolby Atmos more than DTS Neural:X. In a previous post, you mentioned having 10 Commandments and 2001. Those are both movies that have a 5.1 audio track. There is no Atmos track. So the "Atmos" sound mode is...

I don't know how many times I have to repeat myself. When a video is encoded in Dolby Vision, it gets decoded has Dolby Vision. If you're in DTS:X mode, and if the audio is Dolby Atmos, then it just sees the 5.1 stream and upconverts to 3D audio. Same is true for "Dolby Atmos" mode if you are...

Again, the actual video has a video track that's either Dolby Vision, HDR10, or no HDR. There is no switching them on or off: it's how the video is encoded. Most 4K TVs support Dolby Vision now (there were some Samsung and Sony TVs that opted for HDR10+ instead of Dolby Vision). For those...

You can’t toggle Dolby Vision off or on. The video is either Dolby Vision or it’s not.

Both DTS:X and Atmos are considered object based. Both are similar with consumer video in that the audio track has a 5/7.1 stream and a dynamic object stream. So a DTS:X track is also handled the same-if you have a receiver that supports DTS:X, it will read both the 7.1 stream and object stream...
