Only time will tell.

Looks like you had a lot of fun and thanks to those who've posted pictures.

I'm just really sorry I couldn't face the long round trip straight after my excursion to Aberdeen.

Next time!

Steve, I'm having to fly up to Aberdeen tomorrow for work; I may have to stay until Friday, in which case I'll probably not make the journey back up to Yorkshire on the Saturday. I'll let you know later in the week.

Do try to keep up Phil.

I was thinking along the lines of exploring HQPlayer's upsampling (PCM and DSD) and selectable digital filters. The server comes with a library of just over 1000 CD rips of most genres. I would also bring a wired/wireless network to support the NAA device and, perhaps, a tablet for control.

Looking at HM The Queen's favourite pieces of music;

which includes a George Formby number, I'm wondering if Mr. Bass is positioning himself for a Knighthood for services to music?

Ray

All being well I hope to get along for the Saturday. If I do I'll bring at least one of my no-dac DACs. In case you're confused, this is DSD-only playback without using a conventional DAC chip of any sort. I'll also bring along a PC running HQPlayer so that I have some DSD to play but can also use ...

That's why he was the greatest

Yes, I watched it yesterday too, it reminded me of just how good he was; Foreman was completely befuddled by Ali.

And what a man outside of the ring too.

I just spotted these over on DIY Audio and thought they might be of interest to someone here - a possible bargain if he's planning to bin them? To give an idea of size as no dimensions are provided, the bass unit opening is for a 10inch drive unit. http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/swap-meet/292187-unf...

If ever you're passing Steve, I guarantee you'll stay for more than five minutes...

I want to hear an MJSR in action... as hopefully will MJ :) I can certainly bring along my DSD 'DAC' that uses an MJSR for the B+ of the Broskie BCF buffer stage. Fantastic news that you're able to join us, Ray. Are you able to bring the 300B? I really want to see and hear Bruce's AC heating nemesi...
