Just to pour more oil in the fire we have a new development happening - to be revealed in Munich this year. It is smaller and cheaper than Forza yet does a few things even better.

@crenca Wrt loudness I believe SoupR heard them play plenty loud in a generous room. At least what Alfred tells me there was nightclub music and loudness at one point.

I don’t actually listen that loud normally, but yeah, when I was demoing them Sunday morning, they turned it up very loud for some of my tracks and they didn’t have any issues.

The upper unit is midbass with some considerable xmax capability. It only fills the range from 75 to 150 Hz. This is key to produce explosive slam of drums and portray accurate and pure upper bass notes.

Also, Estelon philosophy is all the drivers (also the woofers) have to be locked in phase in xo regions - with precision. This is why the bass is that damn accurate. From there on the pure midrange takes over - up to 2 kHz. This driver is very low xmax extremely specialist mid driver only. The construction is basically that of a mega-tweeter. It would suck at producing any bass.

That makes sense, Danny Carey’s drums sounded better on Invincible than any other rig at the show

So far for me the highlights of the show are the Perlisten room, the Rockport room and the sb acoustics room with the new Gema diy speaker

I’m not sure why I thought that would work, next thing you know it’s 1am…I’d forgotten just how incredible these headphones are.

Agreed, they're one of my faves for sure

Nice! OG Utopias is where it's at 100%. Enjoy!

ZMF cables do look solid if they offer them with headphone terminations that work for you

Ah, didn't make the connection to your name here. Hope you enjoy my Utopia :) I like Forza flagship cable for a headphone like the Utopia.

@ColdsnapBry I did not either! I hope I do as well

its like supernova....I thought it up in high school when xbox live first launched and have been using it ever since

Back in the 90s there was a "poknacha" and my friends IRL said "Pock Natcha" and I was like...ya'll it's "pokin' at 'cha" - so I believe it @jowls lol.

Century Blvd in LA runs in between 99th st. and 101st st. It took me 3 years of driving that road on a regular basis before It occurred to me where Century got its name from.

I’m looking forward to it. The like hardcore cinephiles seem to be the only people that can’t get behind Villeneuve. I’m just happy someone that knows their way around the camera is interested in making hard sci-fi and Hollywood is willing to give him money to do it.

I can at least understand hardcore cinephiles not liking Nolan, even if I mostly disagree...not liking Villeneuve is baffling to me, its like they don't like it just cause he's made it pseudo-mainstream?

he makes art house science fiction that is just barely mainstream enough to get huge budgets and essentially tentpole film status. its kind of a miracle, and im here for it

5 of the FPGAs present in the current MScaler, leading to much higher power draw. 4 million taps. two chassis, one for the power supply. launching in Munich at the high end show in a few months.

I went to get the link for the video, but it actually got taken down. curious.

As for pricing, just a guess, but I can't imagine it'll msrp for less than 15k, not with two chassis.

No I'm not an Apple whore. Don't see the point of a device that makes me look like a virgin

I think it’s the future but wait and watch for me as of now.

Almost as if the platform has a history of being more concerned with giving as much money to actual artists as possible. Bandcamp Fridays ftw

Yeah hard not to be worried about the platform’s future.

Lol I thought it was going to be kpop

Guess I coulda specified that Synestia is a deathcore band, oops

some of the new Kpop

Yes, I'm a fan too. And I expect it (hopefully) to keep its softness and bulk longer than the Sennheiser-stock so-called padding.

If you need/want more space, the Hd800 band does click off, I think I might do that in the co-pilot video on our site YouTube channel. Glad you like it!

Update, the crescent snap is also a game changer on my AirPods Max. the suspension portion of the headband had basically stopped working on my pair, so it was just the metal resting on the crown of my head for the last year or so

Kinda funny the previous 0-400-0 record holder was the koenigsegg regera, also full of rimac’s tech

I like the Jesko myself. That sound is amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36LcFTjf--o&ab_channel=F1%26SupercarsChallenge

The jesko will be a very cool car once its done

High expectations but it just didn't click for me. Similar to Green Knight. OTH, I randomly watched a new 'Puss In Boots' movie with my kids a few days ago and it blindsided me. Very well put together.

@jowls the last wish is the best kids’ movie in years.

Puss in Boots is the first Into The Spiderverse inspired film. And it was brilliant.

This will be the third time around I've test drove 911s, the last two times I ended up buying other things, the Supra instead of a 997 and the R8 instead of a 991.1...maybe this will be the 911s moment

@famish99 the Taycan was nice, I may still end up with one instead. My main beef with it is the lack of buttons, the lower screen should all be buttons and knobs like on their other cars. also...its not a 911

Physical buttons ftw. I also thought the Taycan 2-speed trannie was a bit clunky. Curious to see how the eMacan turns out. Enjoyed my test drives of the 992/718 while waiting for my Macan to get serviced. No danger of buying though :P

If you're already an Apple Music or Apple One subscriber it's included automatically, pretty cool.

If only there was a way to losslessly stream Hi-Res Apple Music to devices in the network, I’d at least do a trial period. Or is there meanwhile, and I just didn’t notice?

P.S.: And without the requirement for a mobile device to do the streaming. I want to use a mobile device for control, but it must not do the streaming as WiFi is not reliable enough where I usually sit for a mobile device to receive and send the stream at the same time.

I would say for CPUs no, the benefits aren't really there. its not like back in the day where you could take a 2500k at 3ghz and take it to 4.5ghz for a massive performance boost. Now its like eeking out a few extra 100s of mhz

but often you can still drop temps and power usage through undervolting while maintaining clocks, which is still technically overclocking. that's mostly what I did for my 12700k, dropped voltage, and also boosted all core boost clocks at the same time.

for memory tweaking, it really depends on what you're playing. for some esports type games, where you are very CPU bound and want more frames, or better frame consistency, lowering memory latency can help alot with raising 1% low FPS performance

No one should be treated this way, specially not the guy that composed the Doom 2016 sound track, honestly one of the best parts of the game. They should have been paying him triple to come back, not stealing his work and blaming him for everything>

Crazy to read this. I love the Doom 2016 OST. I wasn't even aware of this situation.

Likewise unaware, even of the harrassment Gordon was getting. I still listen to the 2016 soundtrack regularly and reading this made me want to puke. f**k inept management and gaslighting.
