If I was in the US there'd be all kinds of favors you might demand of me which i do not want to discuss in public. Luckily I'm in the EU so I dodged that bullet.

I'll take a few hundred thousand, promise to sell very cheaply

As if my little girl wasn't already cute! Thank you!

Thanks! Merry Christmas!

Thanks @zerodeefex . My wife and I love it. Merry Christmas buddy. And to your family too.

Who is Marty?

So not Marty McFly, B2TF1

Yikes. Few weeks ago I paid full price. Wish I waited, since I want to sell my copy sooner or later, lol.

Yeah, bought mine full price too, but still worth it.

any of you using VR for this? haven't gone down that rabbit hole, but this looks like fun...

Actually, I don't know an easy solve here. I think I need arrays of speakers for each height and phase adjustments for each array to sound natural at different seating positions. Time delays will only optimize for one seating position.

@zerodeefex It's ok if you use an acoustic calibration routine like Audyssey or Dirac. Atmos content isn't highly directional (it's meant to be produced by broad dispersion speakers), so just adjust your distances by ~2ft on the offset side if need be. That distance adjustment should adjust the time delay appropriately.

Thanks. I'm paranoid that I'll pick up the RSLs and this will bite me in the ass. Talked a bit with @Donald North and he recommended some experimentation. Also realized a friend's husband is an eng director at dolby and seems to have been the one who invented a huge chunk of the authoring side of the equation for atmos. I might just ask him, hah.

@Hands and @jexby both do weird foot stuff.

When you ban someone, can you set a timer?

Can any of us torment @jexby?

(I think a one-day ban might be ok for "mod-baiting." Two weeks for projectile vomiting at a mod. Keeping things in proportion)

@Hands hope you didn't install any special Senn crap with the GSX 1000

Glad i didn't install any software for my GSP350.

yah @zerodeefex, ban me for not buying you lunch today!

@m17xr2b I was thinking of de-admining someone and banning them but that's too much work.

@jexby I owe you lunch!

What exactly is less resolving here? One DAC vs. the other or your current system?

Yggdrasil tilts more warm now with harder hitting bass. It's also more resolving.

I'm thinking I could use the price delta to get six more of the PAP woofers and do my own DIY quintets.

Have to say I’m not getting that Yggdrasil A2 is warmer than Gungnir Multibit A2. I find the reverse by a slight amount, but maybe this is just my mistaken def’n of ‘warm’. Or maybe just warmer compared to Yggdrasil A1 (never heard)?

YA2 more resolving than GA2? Yeah, very clearly so. This is the main reason for the difficult choice (for me).

I don't recall any other game scaring me as much as isolation ... resident evil 7 getting close, but still not as much. The build-up had me sweatin' bricks.

I remember when the game came out, the designers ported it to VR to test it and it freaked them the hell out. I’ve always wanted to try it.

I had never played RE7 before I started in VR. Same with this. Jesus these are amazingly well crafted games.

I clicked on the link! OMG, why did I click on it? I must really hate myself. Vertices???? It’s like an ever expanding sphere of bullshit where all the smells are reaching their max potential. Makes me want to drink until I’m horizontal.

Aaargh! a Rafe link!

Rest, people... resist!

Yes, i'm young and i like dacs and headphines that exquisitely unfold the music sound stage betwen my ears. 13500$?? No problem! I'll take 2 please! Also, throw some meze empireans in the mix, please!

On the Joe Rogan show, Schaub called it. Said he didn't want to go to the fight because shit was gonna go down in the stands.

McGregor and his crew got off light, especially after insulting the Dagestani mob, and the current nutbar dictator of Chechnya.

I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't more repercussions outside the ring for McGregor and crew.

Could be. Khabib surrounds himself with the shadiest mobsters and oligarchs so you can’t rule out shady mobster behavior.

^He was born into it.

@zerodeefex I wasn't poking, just nudging, lol. I've always liked the ESP950, but have held off a few times at $599 and $650 sale prices. If they were $299 without engergizer and a Stax adapter (cough cough), I would be all over them. For now I will wait, but I WILL purchase when they are released. Enjoying speaker land too much to worry about sinking $$$ into more cans that won't be delivered for 6 momths.

Will they be at RMAF? Anyone know?

Magic 8 ball say no, not this year. https://www.audiofest.net/attending/exhibitors/

Me not a fan of the koss electros anyway.

me and because

One day demodding @Hands

Dick

Hope he's kicking back and taking a much needed break. Thank you!

Sending nothing but best wishes, and hoping for a quick & full recovery, towards Marvey!

And speaking of sending things... is it still okay, for all of us, to send support/donations to Marv's default (Paypal Email) account? Or will we need to use another Paypal link, while Marv is offline & recovering?

I'm sure they'll tell you to use some EQ magic to fix it.

@zerodeefex,
What if you try to bypass all of the Mobius digital circuitry (BT & USB-A/C) and avoid the built-in DAC/Amp, entirely... would using its 3.5mm Analog jack, make any discernible improvement on the hiss & the noise-floor?

Honestly, if all else fails... we can ALWAYS count on Creative's "Super X-Fi" dongle to bring us to salvation & enlighten us w/ its ultra-superior virtual surround holography!? /s *Sigh*

@A1Gear there's no way to bypass all the digital circuitry. Even the analog jack doesn't bypass all of it.

too much time investment when you have little kids and work at a startup :). That being said, I am excited to get this part done. I've used ugly plain MDF for my woofers for way too long.

Yeah, pleasing aesthetics is sucha pain in the ass to achieve.

I'll be curious how your total compares to prebuilt OBs once everything is said and done.
