Alas, the ONLY available tickets were for the Sunday night (last one) tour, and $400 for not so great seats… screw that.
I managed 5 tickets at the Hollywood Bowl on Tuesday. Was 43000 in line when I started at Ticketmaster. Sorry you missed out in NYC. Love it when you play Animals for your puppy!

Local cat with a killer voice.
He used to do a show on 88.1 here in LA on the weekends. Might have to fire up the old tuner and see if he's still around.
Received my copy yesterday. Playing it now. Great singing and musicianship.
Excellent recording too.

Thanks adias for the recommendation!

A little jazz something to help pick you up before heading out and doing what you do on a Saturday.

For lazy people like me, an instant coffee with handheld milk aerator makes amazing latte already :)

So, all this Qobuz talk/recommendations got me to thinking…

Could I just subscribe to Qobux, and then take a USB C from my iPad Pro to the USB in on my Yggy? I’ve tested it with free YouTube, and it worked (of course the Sound Quality wasn’t ideal).

Would I literally need nothing else? I know I’d be subject to battery life, but I’d not likely have too many sessions that would run into that limit.

I have NO ripped music on hard drives of any kind whatsoever, so think don’t also need Roon?

PS: I am still loving Yggy

As long as you are running IOS7 or later you can run digital out with streaming services. I am not sure if that holds true for YouTube. Chances are you would also have to convert USB C to usb B. Amazon has such a cable for as little as $9.

So... you like big gold knobs, eh.

🤣 🤣 🤣
See pic: I wonder if I could get Jason to move the volume knob or the headphone jack? And how am I going to mount this under the desk--I just bought the bracket!>:!>

Did that come off an old fishing reel? 😁

I've heard some people having good luck using the iPad camera connection kit which will allow the iPad to remain charged while you're using it.
Something like this - https://tinyurl.com/3pkftaua
I believe @adias uses something similar. Maybe he'll chime in.

edit - While I'm a fan of Roon there would be little value in you using it solely as a front-end for Qobuz. Most of Roon's value is that it manages ripped files and incorporates Roon and/or Tidal playback.

The Vali 3 already has the jack on the opposite (left) side. Time to upgrade! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Bringing it back to wine. Me and Ms q just finished planting 2 rows of reisling vines, 9 to a row. 3rd row will be done tomorrow. Steep hill between our house and the road that the state actually owns. Got permission since the posts that will go in over the next few weeks are not permanent structures.
I love me a good Riesling. A local winery makes one of my favorites.
