Communal Narcissism. Interesting concept, but it makes total sense. We know Team Blue's main outlets are CNN & MSNBC and both have abysmal ratings. So how do they all get on the same page if they didn’t tune into Rachel Maddow fir their marching orders - communal narcissism.

Explains mass movements like "Wokeness" and the crazy nonsense they spew. Remember the ***** pro-Hamas protesters; communal narcissism explains those fools. Nazism, Communist movements...

You tell me.

You claiming contradictions does not mean contradictions happened. You have this problem with claiming things are happening that never happen.

Your recommendation for two different potentiometers that are entirely different, as if they did the same thing, is a contradiction.

Why would that trigger me? Getting proved wrong means I have a learning opportunity. Gaining knowledge is not a bad thing. Unless you are a far left weirdo.

And yet years later, you hang onto you claim that bones do not have nerves in them.
And that a mono amp can have multiple channels.
And that real pricing is bullshit.
And so on.

You weren't begging for help in the 90's.

Try to make that make sense.
You wanted me to ask for help in the 90s, for an issue I had in the 2020s?

Wrong again Rob.

They are DSP's. I am sure each companies engineers put the appropriate pieces together.

Cool. So what do they process at?

No. Can you not read? Or is your ego letting you run your mouth again. How many no's do you need to hear before it sinks in? You are up to two so far.

OK. Just some more of "Because Thxone says so" it must be true.

Wow, you really did get asshurt huh? I mentioned it because I can prove I use it. Not like you claiming to have a Pioneer.

Cool. Go ahead and prove it.

AptXHD - 576kbps @ 24bit and 48kHz. There is nothing wrong with AptXHD.
It does LDAC as well. - 990kbps @ 24bit and 96kHz.
To flex I will be using digital coaxial to pass that music on and yes, it is better than toslink.

Oh and it wasn't $350. I bought it new on Amazon.

AptXHD is about half of the FLAC bitrate that my Pioneer can do. The Pioneer that you tried to belittle as "cheap".
Your SPDIF connection is better than your SPDIF connection? That's pretty wild. Can you explain the science of that a little bit?

So you got your buddy to send you a screenshot of his Amazon order where he overpaid for a music player. The MSRP was only $499.00. In 2022. He paid $585 for a $350 device that was out for 3 years?
Cool!

About 700ish is entry point for mid tier Droid stereos...the good ones are a around 1k plus.

Listen idiot. You were begging for help, I threw out options. You acted like a stuck up ****. Again, you are the "expert" who had no clue.

And yet years later, you hang onto you claim that bones do not have nerves in them.
And that a mono amp can have multiple channels.
And that real pricing is bullshit.
And so on.

Compact bones do not.
Connections. Idiot.
People only pay the real price.
And so on.

Try to make that make sense.
You wanted me to ask for help in the 90s, for an issue I had in the 2020s?

Hey, idiot. YOU brought up the 1990's, not me.

Cool. So what do they process at?

All 2, 32bit DAC. + one 24bit.

OK. Just some more of "Because Thxone says so" it must be true.

Must be.

Cool. Go ahead and prove it.

I posted the pic. My name is Michael.

Cheap as in inexpensive. I'm sorry you are so easily offended. Must be that thin liberal blue skin.
Digital Coaxial is superior to Toslink (optical). Typical optical cables can handle 96kHz while digital coaxial audio cables can handle 192kHz. While toslink rejects noise the noise from coaxial is negligible.

So you got your buddy to send you a screenshot of his Amazon order where he overpaid for a music player. The MSRP was only $499.00. In 2022. He paid $585 for a $350 device that was out for 3 years?
Cool!

Overpaid? The price is what the price is. If I think it is worth the price I paid then I paid what I think it is worth. I also pay taxes and shipping. If $585 is what I paid and it does everything I wanted and more, than to me, it was well worth it. I am sorry you think $585 is too expensive to make yourself happy.

By the way... do you plan on selling Granny's house? I am sure it has been out for too long and isn't worth the old truck that towed it to that lot.

I don't even have a hu for either of my planned builds (hopefully this is the year for my delta and my commuter)

Another bad attempt at spin and backpedaling. And out comes the word "****" again. Response of a triggered kid.

Compact bones do not.

Medical science shows you are wrong. Again.

Connections. Idiot.

Outputs has been the discussion. An output in an audio amp is an independent channel. A connection is not an output, but an output can have a connection.

People only pay the real price.

People pay the nominal price. The real price accounts for inflation and other factors.

And so on.

Hey, idiot. YOU brought up the 1990's, not me.

Hmmm, WHO brought up my shop? That was you. Idiot.

All 3, 32bit DAC.

Oh? Firmware upgrade? AudioControl thinks it's 24bit.
4+ billion steps is a LOT for car audio

Must be.

I posted the pic. My name is Michael.

So you claim. Michael is someone who purportedly bought a 3 year old FIIO M11S for more than MSRP.

Cheap as in inexpensive. I'm sorry you are so easily offended. Must be that thin liberal blue skin.
Digital Coaxial is superior to Toslink (optical). Typical optical cables can handle 96kHz while digital coaxial audio cables can handle 192kHz. While toslink rejects noise the noise from coaxial is negligible.

Optical can handle 192kHz or better. Coax can handle 192kHz or better.
Avoid using AI if you are trying to prove me wrong about something. It's not steering you in good directions.

Overpaid? The price is what the price is. If I think it is worth the price I paid then I paid what I think it is worth. I also pay taxes and shipping. If $585 is what I paid and it does everything I wanted and more, than to me, it was well worth it. I am sorry you think $585 is too expensive to make yourself happy.

Yes. Overpaid. The unit was introduced in 2022 at an MSRP of $499. So you paid well over retail to make yourself happy?
Would you have been less happy paying the discounted-for-age price? If so, I have an old Lanzar amp that I will gladly sell you for $500. It's worth about $50, but that extra $450 spent will make it sound SWEET.

By the way... do you plan on selling Granny's house? I am sure it has been out for too long and isn't worth the old truck that towed it to that lot.

Granny's house was bought by one of her grandkids after she died. He flipped for a mil to a developer as a teardown, and it now has an 8,000 sq foot house on the lot. Happening to every house in the old neighborhood. It's for sale at $3mil if you are in the market.
If I had the spare $750K 18 years ago, I might have flipped it myself. Takes money to make money.

Happens on high demand products. AKG N5005 IEMs go for ~$250. Those have been around forever and I got mine ~6 months ago for $160. I would have grabbed a few more had I known the price would jump up.

If I had known Shure M97XE carts were going to sell used for $250 today, I would have bought ten at the $50 I paid 5 years ago.

So we can all agree that Thx probably paid fair market at the time for that Fiio player

It's just the secret space program, we have non-rocket/UFO type propulsion spacecraft, it's just physics.
