    dude. :)
    Now I feel bad -- but I do want to try one of these, so... I shall.

    ... and it's time for (yet another) thank you Karma. Stay tuned. :)

    It has arrived. B)
    Thanks again to @Clipdat!!!
    It is an adorable little piece of hardware.
    May not get around to firing it up 'til tomorrow, but it's unboxed and rarin' to go.

    (It's ALIVE!)

    Finally :#

    Just streamin' from my NAS at the moment -- kinda stuck with PCM until I figure out next steps for myself. I get stuck in analysis paralysis with things I don't fully understand -- all the time. :/

    This is such a groovy place!

    So...

    Just listened to most of The Yes Album (a remaster, from... 2009?) off the NAS (just 48.0k; nothing fancy) via the Topping DAC and the SE 2A3 amplifier on the Big Boy Frankenaltecs.

    The climax (which is the right word for it!) of Starship Trooper -- brought tears to my eyes. In a good way. This is not an experience I've ever had with Starship Trooper before... and I have had a copy of that album... since it was new. B)

    Thanks, again!

    Nice, Mark! So is it safe to assume that you would say it doesn't suck?

    It does in fact, not do... umm... that.
    I looked all over it for a button and everything. ;)
