Yes, but what Scotch is accompanying your listening sessions? And briefs, boxers, or Full Monty?

Very interesting, thank you. It'll be worth comparing some of those to their Opticon series for my use case.

I'm glad you didn't get one of my uncle's Stanley Cup rings, which somehow wound up offered on Ebay several years ago (our side of the family is not quite sure how). But a couple of my cousins -- his kids -- pooled some funds and were top bidders in its auction, so now it's back in the family...

Gratuitous cat photo to replace a mangled post I mistakenly saved.

I'm more interested in the Maurice Richard photo. My uncle played in the NHL back in the day...well, lots of days ago. And he played with the Rocket on the Canadiens over 3 seasons ('47-'50) during the course of his long career.

I think I know what the bottom hole is for, but how about the top one?

And a Norton Commando was my ride of choice back in 1974.

Ah, so you were an Evans Hall inhabitant! :)

Tell me more! I'm just about to send some money Dali's way.

I've used both. I have exceptionally clean WiFi and have noticed no difference in SQ or stability, really. If you already have Ethernet where it'll go, I'd use that as a matter of course. Whichever connections you use, though, best practice is to make sure to give your WiiM devices static IP...

Unless you listen only to Apple Music, SQ on WiiM will be equal to or better than streaming from an iOS device. IMHO, the only significant function WiiM lacks *currently* is digital USB out. I expect they'll address that down the road, but it's not a deal-breaker for me. At the moment I'm...

It'll be *announced* on May 9th (well, it's sort of been already on WiiM's forums). But I don't expect to see it GA in retail until July or so.

Kind of like saying Glossu Rabban was no saint either. :p

Not to mention Floria Tosca jumping off the parapet into a two thousand foot deep mountain ravine.

From what I've observed over my long lifetime, when it comes to marriages, upgradeitis is definitely a loser's game.

This sounds like Auralic. Kinda.

Adding insult to injury. Which I guess is why God made Oregon as a backup plan. So long as Washington refrains from doing cavity searches on drivers with Canadian plates heading north, looking for contraband tube smugglers.

That's why God made the state of Washington. Of course, evidently even God can't do anything about the loonie.

Constantly. The opportunities are breathtaking.

Sure, but even though it's the same parent company, it's wrongheaded to equate an ancient, primitive, and poorly-supported product from one sub-brand with a different, recent, and exceptionally well-supported product from another. Given the attention and effort I've seen from WiiM's development...

Well, the Muzo and WiiM both had/have PCBs made by LinkPlay, albeit several years apart. But that's about all there is in common. As an analogy, that would be like saying because Toyota once made this monstrosity: ...someone should never even consider, much less purchase one of these...

The WiiM Mini is less than a quarter of the price of the iFi Zen Stream, supports Qobuz, and works fine with a downstream DAC. The WiiM Pro adds some useful functionality and flexibility for a Franklin and a Grant. If and when Qobuz Connect sees the light of day, I expect WiiM will be one of the...

I've been told by one who knows that thiccc and deeeep is the best juxtaposition ever.

Speaking of Latin-ish titles... Turn it up.

Interesting expression on Barenboim's face. Did the first violin just cut the cheese?
