    Tidal - Getting to my HiFi

    I have just used the web browser (Chrome ideally) on an old laptop, connected via USB to my DAC. But then there's no remote app for that, unless you use RemoteDesktop on your iPad or something like that. Lately I use Roon with a Raspberry PI endpoint attached to the DAC

    Recommendations for ENT in JHB Northern Suburbs

    Second Dr Friedman. I really dig him and he's practical and smart. He loves a good chat though, so you will wait a few hours... He may send you to the audiologists who are downstairs in the same building

    Money laundering at SARS?

    I work at a bank and have to do mandatory compliance training on anti money laundering (which I did today). Bank employees are supposed to report transactions which break pattern, especially cash deposits like that. The bank is supposed to be fined if this doesn't happen. So the whole system is...

    What smartphone

    I have one as well, yes for the price it is great -- except the camera is not very good at all in low light or if things are moving. As that is why you are looking then I would think about comparing it with a Samsung/Apple model. PS for Xiaomi, I think Makro has them cheaper than takealot, R1800

    Coursera - mean anything to employers?

    Disagree about it only being for self-enrichment, I think this is the future of education for a lot of people. They don't replace the varsity courses if you stick to the homework that can only be automatically marked by machine (due to the high student volumes). If you do the additional...

    What was the last Film you watched?

    Remember. Great performance from 84 year old Christopher Plummer but I doubt I will remember this film for long.

    Coursera - mean anything to employers?

    I have completed Coursera specialisations (Startup Engineering, Machine Learning, AI) and it is changing my life. I am already an Elec Eng, but the push gained from completing these courses, delivered by world leaders in their fields, directly affects the work I deliver daily and is allowing me...

    SPDIF via HDMI

    Ok, but isn't his point to avoid USB entirely? I need to read about Xmos My DAC does 96KHz on asynchronous USB, 192KHz on SPDIF, how does the converter up sample from the USB input? The goodie he mentions is also R500...

    SPDIF via HDMI

    How does one get SPDIF out of their laptop, without an asynchronous USB to SPDIF converter? Would appreciate people's thoughts on this article: https://darkimmortal.com/2012/12/how-to-get-bitstreamed-spdif-digital-audio-out-of-a-laptop-without-spending-a-fortune/

    Learning about REW and frequency response

    Hi, I think a few of us would like to use a good USB mike, any chance we could club together and purchase a "forum" one, as I don't think you would do this kind of exercise very often? Or would the price of petrol make this just false economy?
