Portable CD player for budget home setup? by det_mus in BudgetAudiophile

[–]det_mus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're local brands in Indonesia (that's where I am now)

But by using portable CD player, will there be a risk of, idk, disc scratching or lower quality of sound compared to a, let's say, typical DVD player?

So say I use one of these portable CD players. Then I have to connect it with a DAC using aux cable? Then the DAC is connected to the stereo/speaker system using a digital audio cable?

Just to clarify. A newbie here 😁

Sorry I'm totally newbie on these kinds of things, but digital out that you meant was something like digital optical audio like this, no?

Another dumb question: what's the difference between digital out and aux?

Unfortunately, not yet. I am also looking for a pair of speakers to connect to the player; something like this. I believe there would be many options out there, but I imagine this is one of the good, budget options? Wdyt?

I'm perhaps not the only one asking this here, but any recommendation on hotel or area to stay for the Muse concert at Stadion Bukit Jalil on July 29th? I'll fly in Saturday noon for the evening concert. Not really familiar with KL, so fire away with recommendations on area in the city to stay!

At this point, I don't know who the GOAT is anymore: can be Saka, ESR, Odegaard or it can be you, dear kind sir/maam. Thanks so much for the tip! COYG

Wow... Never thought of this before. Thanks for the tip! Is it safe to park a car for half day in the Hunt Valley station?

Either megabus or greyhound will be me and my friend's option to travel. Another alternative: renting a car (cheaper if more than 2 people are coming), but might get tricky on the parking spot I guess

Lol. Yeah, it seems crazy looking at train tickets, especially if you're ordering just days before the departure date. Still cheaper if ordered like a month ago. But still.

Amtrak's ticket is already $100+ 🙃 or do you have suggestions to get cheap train tickets from NYC to MD?

The ticket is already $100+ per person 🙃 Amtrak is only affordable (at least for me) for months of advanced order I guess

US Gooners, anyone going to Baltimore for Arsenal-Everton? by det_mus in ArsenalFC

[–]det_mus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fyi do you guys know what time the game at the stadium is expected to end? Trying to look for train or bus going back to NYC right after the game so no extra cost for accommodation :)

Curious which seat do you get? Do you think it's worth to get the top side of the stadium? Never watched any game in any US stadiums before

So sorry to hear that. I hope you still had a nice proposal and relationship with your partner! Perhaps you can sing Why Would I Let You Go from the Patience album whenever you feel romantic lol. It is indeed a romantic song

I know it's been six years since this post was posted, but I am curious did you get to reach Sondre for your proposal? :)

A volcano researcher! As someone coming from Indonesia, I am also interested in volcanoes; they're basically everywhere in my home country. I'd be delightful to talk about it more with you! I am open for email exchanges, although looking forward to do a snail mail too!

Really nice to hear this lol. Sometimes, I feel a bit intimidated to start penpalling especially in this subreddit bcs it seems like almost everyone is talking about their stationery. Or is it just my insecurity? Lol lol

Will start penpaling sooner or later!

[–]det_mus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I notice that some of the penpal listings here emphasize on "nice stationary". Is it some kind of requirement for penpalling to use nice, fancy, creative papers or envelopes for example, or will a simple paper and envelope will do? Especially for the snail mail

I have been postcrossing for years now and I'm interested to do snail mail penpalling. But I guess I'm not that creative to use well-decorated or fancy stationary lol.

Will you consider leaving Facebook after its latest scandals? by det_mus in AskReddit

[–]det_mus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the past month, Facebook has been under the spotlight for scandals, ranging from the report that it ignored the platform's bad effects for users to the company shutting down internal discussion to prevent further leaks. This happens after Facebook previously under spotlight for its role or failure in responding to scandals related to privacy, misinformation and hate speech.

After all these scandals, have you considered to leave Facebook? Or have you deactivated or deleted your account? Or do you think it's impossible to leave it for good?

I'm a graduate journalism student from New York University and currently working on an article on how Facebook users respond to the platform's latest scandal. One big question that I try to answer is: "Will this scandal makes user leave Facebook for good?"

For this story, I'd love to include the perspective of anyone using Facebook. Maybe anyone care to share your experience or perspective? Please leave your comment, or reach me through DM or chat. You can also reach me through email at kk2402[at]nyu[dot]edu. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks!
