I believe the law of diminishing returns kicks in realllly fast in terms of 'ultra high quality audio'. I have an external usb dac (Yamaha AG06), a pair of good studio grade monitors (Yamaha HS8's) and that's it for me.

Sadly, I don't. A replier said something about a brand called "Schiit Audio", but I've researched them and they only offer stuff with RCA outputs which are sadly not balanced at all. If you're on a budget you could

I've researched this brand and could only find devices sporting RCA outputs (like Fulla or Bifrost). You need a proper XLR balanced output (3 wires) for balanced. In that regard, the AG06 is much cheaper than any of the offerings i

The only way I found to minimize/eliminate HISS while using high quality monitors/pro speakers is to pair them with a proper external USB Audio Card. Those External Audio Cards receive the signal in digital form, thus free of any

I believe that most of us that 'made it' (past the kickstart/young-ish phase) have experienced burnout at some point, and we know how much it can delay us from making progress... That's why I think we should at least try

the same sadly could be said for much more mundane and socially acceptable things, like paying the tithe at a money-hungry religion that's trying to sell uneducated/oblivious people some instant peace of mind.

This is basically Node slapped on top of a Linux kernel. I would find it way more interesting (to say, way more actually a 'Node OS') if they implemented a really lightweight kernel to drop into JS kernel modules as soon as possib
