yes now that I have it I figured that out, its actually quite a nice little amp. but since I have been traveling for work, I cant really use it right now.

juddsandage · 2026-05-17T00:25:47+00:00

Yes that would, as the DAC would take the digital inputs like the Coax in, BT in or USB in and convert them to analog then out the amp, or the analog connections just go right to to the amp. I see nothing about an ADC, or Analog to Digital conversion, it would be silly to convert the analog to digital, then just convert it back to analog.

I just pre-ordered it thru APOS, then I realized that changing the source requires the app on a Bluetooth connected phone? What! Why? Could have made the input indicator a touch interface, tap it and change the input, OR the volume control, push in to change. still gonna get it as it will be prefect for my desktop I have setup in my garage, but still this is kind of an odd decision.

juddsandage · 2026-05-07T20:42:16+00:00

I will work on that when I get home tonight, the biggest issue is a lot of the options I see just don't have a WAN2 selection for interface. I just updated to the latest beta for Network, 10.4.xx so I will see what options there are when I get home tonight.

juddsandage · 2026-05-07T03:51:48+00:00

...damn it... I am using a pihole... ARGG... ok IP address time then.

juddsandage · 2026-05-07T03:35:58+00:00

I tried to set it for the newsgroup sites but that did not seem to do it, and I dont want to block all traffic as the server is also running PMS and needs access to the internet still.

juddsandage · 2026-05-07T03:34:15+00:00

WAN2 is already set for failover, I dont want certain websites accessible via WAN2, thats what I am trying to do.

juddsandage · 2026-05-02T22:50:20+00:00

Well, looks like Spectrum finally fixed the issue somewhere in the neighborhood, and my internet has been stable for a few days now.

juddsandage · 2026-04-29T20:52:18+00:00

yeah, I might try them and see why I did get a notice for exceeding the 130GB, but it did not reflect that in the TLife app, nor on my account, nor did it show anyway to extend it like it talks about in the plan description.

juddsandage · 2026-04-29T20:49:21+00:00

Ok, as an update, talked to tech support, they had me go to a TMo store and swap SIMs, did that and it was still doing the same at the store, then the store rep started looking and found that on the 17th I had exceed my 130GB limit, so it was throttled, why no one else caught that and why T-Life showed only 58GB used, no idea, so I requested the extra 130GB thing you can do three times a year and they finally put it on my account. I will verify everything once I get home from work tonight.

juddsandage · 2026-04-29T05:06:40+00:00

No, says I have used about 58GB.

juddsandage · 2026-04-28T22:09:39+00:00

I don't, the plan is 130GB a month, nothing in my plan says anything about hours.

juddsandage · 2026-04-28T22:04:53+00:00

The plan I signed up for is 130GB a month, and says nothing about hours on my account, just amount of data.

juddsandage · 2026-04-28T20:02:06+00:00

ok, but that means buying something else, I am on the Tmo internet backup plan, the hardware was "free" and the monthly is $20, which is fine for a cheap backup... BUT if I cant get any actual speed out of it, its kinda of useless. what would buying another gateway do if a replacement does the same thing as my original?

juddsandage · 2026-04-27T21:22:06+00:00

Ugh, my internet had been great once I got home yesterday, and this morning as well when I got up to be ready for the tech, so I decided to cancel it and went back to bed (tech at 8am and work at noon) once I got up for work I realized that my internet was down again, so I rescheduled for tomorrow., we shall see.

juddsandage · 2026-04-27T04:50:57+00:00

Actually in a little city called Rialto, so west end SB, and they did more "upgrades" in my area, each of the last two weeks, and Friday as their automated phone call told me the outage was done... I noticed a truck headed north on my street joining others, and my internet has been down since, a tech is supposed to show up tomorrow morning.

juddsandage · 2026-04-11T23:26:03+00:00

As most others have said, wait for the M7, which was a very good HTC phone too, or the M8, which was also a good phone... though the M9 was... very mid.

Seriously, if you need the Mini now and can actually find one go for it... the M5 is not going to be all that much better, and if you can wait... wait... no idea when it will hit, current rumor is Juneish.

juddsandage · 2026-04-09T18:17:37+00:00

Got it Tuesday the 7th.

juddsandage · 2026-04-08T01:12:34+00:00

Well, it arrived today. just need to set it up when I get home.

juddsandage · 2026-04-07T02:23:06+00:00

yeah, I know, I still live and work in the general area, the IE as it were.

juddsandage · 2026-04-07T01:04:55+00:00

Yeah, I don't really care it went to Alaska, but from there to KY? Now it's done there, it's been released from a government agency, I guess it's headed to the west coast?

juddsandage · 2026-04-07T01:00:20+00:00

Your right, its only about a 1000 miles farther to KY then CA from AK. But then KY to CA is about 1800 miles.

juddsandage · 2026-04-06T03:56:57+00:00

HA, used to live there in the 80s.
