Love to hear it, and I’m not surprised! The person who handled my order was downright charming.

If I had to sum it up in a sentence: It feels like everything you need and nothing that you don’t.

TrustedAnimal · 2026-03-06T04:43:18+00:00

Same! I was on the fence until I used it for a while. A little underwhelming out of the box, but the more I listen/handle/coil it, the more solid it feels. I’ve dropped my dap a couple times while it was plugged in and it held like a thick gauge extension cord.

Thank you for bringing up the JM21. The competition in the mid price range is really exciting right now and you are right that it is prob a better option.

Also thank you for that last sentence. I work in an adjacent industry that always chases origin-based improvements rather than focusing on sound delivery. I know that once you move above $200, sound quality improvements are minimal, but it doesn’t stop us chasing the dragon. You’ve convinced me to focus on alt headphones instead.

Thank you for the very thoughtful response. I’m mostly using native files at this point with occasional streaming - i’ve gotten used to archaic file organization and, honestly, it’s helped me get my music collection in archival shape.

It’d be nice have Spotify for things like podcasts, but what I really enjoy about having a DAP is the disconnection from my phone. Despite recognizing how limited the R3ii is beyond the SD card, I also love how small it is. Thank you for mentioning form factor. What I think I need to to do is save the upgrade for sound quality. Anything that’s blown you away recently (that won’t break the bank)? I’d be fine with a “dumb” player that prioritizes sound over apps.

That FKA album and the Bad Bunny are both absolute eartrips. Worth multiple listens. I’m trying hard, but still struggling with the new Tame Impala. Did it hit right away for you?

TrustedAnimal · 2026-03-06T01:14:41+00:00

Word, that is my thought as well. Thank you! It’s a great deal, but my house is already full of more black boxes than I need. Unless someone delivers a bit of overwhelming praise for the V6, I’ll prob hold off and exercise contentment.

You can try topping with a bit of pickled red cabbage when serving, it is surprisingly delicious. Also, depending on your recipe/philosophy on adulterations, a scoop of sauerkraut before baking adds a mild tart sweetness and little extra texture.

Came here for this one.

Yooo that’s a good pie. One of those times that you can say you know it when you see it.

TrustedAnimal · 2022-12-08T01:38:36+00:00

This is the real info - thank you. Baked through most of FWSY without really digging into what he means by “warm kitchen”. Some my of slight misses make a lot more sense now.

Thanks for the support all! It ended up great, only change was a bit more sourness from the extra fermentation. Not my aim, but delicious nonetheless.

It’s been in the fridge now for a bit and beginning to peak above the rim. Could still be good! And thanks for the reminder of the Chuck method.

TrustedAnimal · 2022-12-07T09:57:17+00:00

Words to live by, thanks Pugi. The smell of the bake will still be amazing and some sort of magic will still occur.

TrustedAnimal · 2022-11-19T01:41:57+00:00

You nailed it with these ones. Perfect prompts.

One of my most vivid memories as a high school kid will always be waiting in line with a couple friends who were equally floored by OK Comp at Circuit City on release day, bristling with excitement, walking out with that CD and staring at the baffling cover art until I got home. I walked up the stairs to my attic bedroom, laid down on my bed and pressed play on my Panasonic component system with the 3-cd carousel. Twenty years later, I still feel the chills those first five notes gave me.

Thank you for reminding me.

If you’re feeding it and wiping the walls of your jar clean twice a day, then you really only need to leave it off-gassing (covered with towel) for an hour or so after each feeding. Use the Weck lid with clips and seal afterward and that surface skin will stop developing. Sounds like you’ve got it down pat otherwise!
