If the Roman mixing names are going away, does that mean we can expect an update to the Lokius? Personally, I'm waiting on the drop of the 5 channel amplifier (I could go for the 5 channel Emotiva but would like to keep everything Schiit) opposite Rekr and Gjallahorn to pair with Syn.

Been having issues with CEC and my Denon receiver to the point that I'm going back to placing everything through the TV inputs instead of the receiver and get the Syn at some point. Is Emotiva's BasX A5 amplifier the best budget friendly option for 5 channel?

I've been planning a speaker addition to home desktop setup which provides for both my professional WFH and personal setups. For Rekkr and Gjallarhorn, what type of bookshelf/desktop speakers should I be looking at (specific examples would be very helpful)? I'm confused between active speakers...

Good setup but one word of caution: you might need more than a 750W power supply with the 30 series cards. They're known to have several severe power spikes that a 750W may not be able to handle even with the factor of safety built into premium power supplies.

Looks like they, Schiit, are using a Form 3+ (https://formlabs.com/3d-printers/form-3/) SLA printer. For hobby stuff, my wife got me a Prusa Mini+ which is good enough to start out with before thinking about moving into larger, more expensive machines. The next big cost is having a licensed...

On the topic of the decrease in consumption of quality goods, I buy Woodpecker's woodworking tools when I can afford them: CNC milled from solid blocks of aluminum, powder coated, laser engraved, checked for accuracy with high precision metrology probes, and made in Ohio. The most common...

Yup. Technically they're half siblings from the same breeder. Nala is the daytime-in-your-business cat, while Alexei gets his me time at bedtime. I usually don't have enough room in the bed with both of them sitting on top of me.

Nala and Alexei (looking at the camera) send their greetings from as close as they can get to my work desk.

Does CrashPlan have command line interfaces or do you have to use a UI? My server runs a Proxmox ZFS array where the main share is OpenMediaVault and I plan to use Sanoid/Syncoid to backup to a headless Ubuntu server computer, but still need a backup for that.

@Baldr Does this mean that the URD will move to ESS from AKM? How much of a lift is that going to be?

The MQA response: Gaslighting much on MQA's front?

It's best to run the speed test on an actual desktop because a laptop or mobile device will not have enough computing power to push the data required through the connection. This is a wired result going directly into a security appliance/firewall/gateway (Ubiquiti USG-Pro) with the ATT modem set...

Thanks for the suggestions. Currently I'm using a Focusrite Scarlett Solo (2x2) interface because I use a XLR Sennheiser MK4 mic and some older headphones for direct monitoring (no XLR output on the interface for direct just 1/4 TRS). The direct monitor output sounds like @$$ compared to my...

I was browsing USB audio interfaces this morning for upgrades to my home setup and was thinking now that Schiit is into gaming interfaces with Hel and to some extent Fulla, would there be any point in producing a no frills audio interface for streaming/podcasting setups. Something along the...

@noddy43 What's that type of 4-wire braiding you're using? I want to do something similar on re-terminating some IEM's but I don't want to do the flat 4-wire braid that I see a lot.
