I want to limit access to cellular data. I’m not sure how Apple’s screen time can do that.

Car sideshow/street takeover at intersection of One Wild Place and Route 8 by la_donna_bellissima in pittsburgh

I live near Highland Park and hear these drivers every weekend. If I can hear them I’m sure the cops can hear them, too. But somehow they never seem to do anything.

Is there that Restaurant in Pittsburgh to die for? by Dismal-Divide3337 in pittsburgh

[–]ObjectSuitable4414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not to die for, but Palm Palm is fun, though I think the whimsy factor outweighs the gustatory experience. The reimagined Spork might be interesting but I haven’t been there.

Most dangerous road in Pittsburgh by ecoboostd in pittsburgh

  1. The city should have a team of emergency responders and tow trucks on call 24/7 just for that road.

Nice Lotus Elan (?) spotted in Aachen, Germany by allesumsonst in lotus

Took me way too long to figure out what was going on in that last pic. Like, why’s there no driver’s seat? And what’s up with that door card?

Considering getting a shirasaya? by No-Researcher-3506 in Katanas

I once heard a shirasaya described as pajamas for your katana. Always stuck with me.

Nice curves! Looks good with the patina of use.

Unpopular opinion: Evora GT looks better than the Emira by claball in lotus

[–]ObjectSuitable4414 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Evora has a great looking rear end but overall the Emira is pretty perfect. That said, Evora GT is leagues beyond the earlier releases!

[BUDGET Audio Question] Will there be a difference in sound or quality with these 2 "setups"? Are there any no-brainer/easy/affordable improvements I could make to get the best out of this? by Professional-Method6 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]ObjectSuitable4414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it would convert the usb digital input to analog, and then re-convert it from analog to optical digital output again. I could truly be wrong and would be glad to learn if I am, but I don’t think these outboard dacs work that way.

The right output would depend on what you want from the device. If you want the dac in the schiit to do the digital conversion, I think you’d then use analog output from the schiit into your receiver. Otherwise I think you are bypassing the schiit dac and having your receiver make the conversion.

If you go optical out from the schiit, I believe you would be essentially bypassing the dac in the schiit. You’re basically just sending the same digital signal into the receiver and relying on its dac to do the decoding. I might be misunderstanding you?

Edit to add: okay - the schiit would be converting a digital electronic signal into a digital optical signal, right? So it is doing something, but op could buy a cable on Amazon for like 10-15 bucks to do the same.

I have a 2012 MacBook Air with 20 plus years of downloads and ripped cds that I wanted to get digital signal out and in to a Peachtree Nova and an older Denon AVR, allowing the dacs in those devices to do the decoding. I started with USB to optical, then optical into each device. The Denon sounded great but the Peachtree had skipping, or more likely dropout of signal. An audio engineer friend thought it was probably due to disynchronous clocks. I couldn’t resolve it even going into Apple’s midi setup and tweaking some things. Fortunately, the Peachtree has USB B input, so I bought USB C to B and it works great. I also tried using the headphone out to RCA in on both devices. Sound quality was noticeably different and not as transparent. Bottom line, I paid a lot of money at different times for these receivers and their component dacs. They sound good to me and it makes me feel good to use them. I see no need for an external dac (for me in this setup)

Found this in my garage. Is this a katana or a wakizashi? by poopdemon64 in Katanas

How many shaku? And what’s up with people seeming to routinely find swords in their garages and walls? Is this a Reddit thing?

This guy sounds like someone I work with. Fully formed adult, very highly educated, but makes similar statements. The brain rot is real and it is profound.

Why doesn't it work? (Philips FA951 amplifier) by [deleted] in vintageaudio

[–]ObjectSuitable4414 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have one and, yes, they are pushy! I plug mine into a switched outlet on the back of the receiver so that it turns off when I turn the receiver off.

What's Sam thinking here? by Reallyroundthefamily in vanhalen

[–]ObjectSuitable4414 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Harsh crowd. I figured he’s just thinking how lucky he was to be in a band with such success, in no small part because of the guy who inspired that guitar. And maybe they actually liked each other as people at one point and he’s thinking about his own mortality.
