The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Actually been watch/listening to a Rugby game. Not much in the way of live sports choices right now. Just finished, Eels topping the Sea Eagles, but the very disturbing thing I noticed during this broadcast was that they used cardboard cutouts in the seats to emulate the look of fans in the stands.
Also, the "piped in" crowd noises felt pushed. Not sure if that was original or a part of Fox Sports' re-broadcast.

The most disturbing thing overall was that when making these thousands of cardboard props to represent fans, no accounting for perspective or aspect ratios or size was made.
The image of the one year old baby in a hat was the same size as the two swilling fools posted three seats away. Scary looking. Just, NO!

I admit that I did a fast forward to halfway through the song to make sure nothing was going to scream at me before I listened to the whole thing  :lol1: I liked it though

Looking for something new to listen to and tired of Spotify's poor sound quality.

I have been pleased with the audio quality from Tidal. Their "genetic" shuffle software is not as capable as Spotify or even old school Pandora, but the streams are usually lossless.
I mainly use it for jazz and classical, but it is loaded with rock and modern stuff, too.

I keep meaning to test Tidal properly. I need a lossless source I can live with.

I forgot to mention, I plug my DAC directly into my "old" M-Audio sound card via USB. I have a sort of budget DAC from Audio Quest. Not the fancy tube one I wish I had, but the guys who recommended this one called it the best "entry level" choice. After trying on those eight hundred dollar pants, I decided this one would be fine.

I do not use bluetooth very often for music. Only in the car.
