And for that, much thanks.

Thanks, Mike. Probably wouldn't go for it, anyway. A&K products seem to carry a high price for quality. At least with Chord equipment, I think one gets more than they pay for. That's why I still vainly hope for the 2go, as I think, as I understand it, it would make a somewhat large, but...

Only one quibble with your post. "Damn it!" Could you write in complete sentences, instead of dot dot dot dot dot dot? That's what it sounds like when one has to listen to what you and many people have written. It runs on like a frickin' James Joyce story. Otherwise, I'm particularly glad...

Yeah! I thought it was 'dog-day' cyndrome, being August and all that.

Deleted: Brainf**t. Mixed up SOS with 'In a Silent way.

I read that article about the '13 restoration, which is the one I have, as a result. And I was also wondering about this pre-dolby fixation, as one can't use dolby later on, unless the tape was first recorded that way. Or was MK referring to the 5.1 dolby 2019 upmix. Either way, @musickid...

Thanks HM. That's the version I also have. I believe they went to great lengths to restore the version to which you refer.

I also recall that Rob stated he couldn't hear a any worthwhile difference btw tos and USB. So, until someone comes with a new protocol that allows for proper speedy transmition of data-such as actual fiberoptic speeds, I'll just suffer with USB. Since changing up from H to H2, I've noticed...

Curious: Which song or album are we talking about? I believe the original post was a pic, or something.

Right. He might just be catching up. But, I think I'll wait a bit, before committing to a purchase.

You mean you've heard it?

I think I'm relieved I never got into the Apple prison. And after hearing more and more about Apple, I think I'll continue in that vein.

It better be able to put out a lot better than redbook. Especially with Qobuz offering hi-res streaming.

I'd have to give a big +10 to that. Blutooth may have been put there for convenience, but after spending can$2,869 for it, I'm certainly wouldn't waste it on poor sources.

I meant to ask what you thought of your 64 A12T up against your Angies. I've been reading reviews of their product line, and they sound enticing. But never actually heard them.

There's always hope that 2go will have the same AAC support as poly.

Especially with H2. I for one, can't wait to be able to take my H2 with me, without feeding it with an external DAP. Hell, I might even get a smartphone with a voice control app, just to run it.

I know. Just kinda kiddin'. I like my music with a strong darkroast coffee; mainly late at night. Coffee and music calm down my paranoia.

On a sidenote: How do you like your T+a? I was thinking about maybe looking into one, since I have a fair amount of DSD. Or is there a thread I should go to?

Careful there, boyo. You're feeding into a dangerous myth.

Strongly agree! But, you know me. I thought a lot of things were blown up on this thread. I like the 120-steps.

No, for me. 1) I like focusing on the music. 2) My computer talks to me, when I'm reading. LOL

You could update to 1.08 or 09. The volume of 08 moves in 60 steps, while 09 is divided into 120 steps. Whatever battery-level indicator issues were software related, were fixed in V1.09. Some say that the overall level of the player was reduced in 09. But, if so, I didn't find it a...

Reasonable. From my reading of Frederick Forsyth novels, I gather that nothing much gets done in August, in Britain, or maybe Western Europe for that matter. So, I'll wait 'till October before raising the question again.
