I'm currently finishing up working on the 2nd big DARPA grant in my career, as an engineer in one of the labs that got paid money to do the work. DARPA funds a lot of "pie in the sky" ideas where the work is super exploratory

The article even states at the end that it doesn't touch on the fact that advertising has shifted how content is displayed and even created, which I find hilarious. Adblockers have mitigated a lot of the "attention cost" asso

Could be the codec they are using. AptX LL is the best for latency as far as I know, but not all headphones support it, and you have to go into developer options to change it. The Denon system might be using LDAC which is higher quality, bu
