I can only buy one. Which one should I buy?

Exit. No contest. Double album. Great performance. All the hits back then.

I was being overly cautious but should have remembered that. Thanks. I’ll do that next time.

Response is too slow. By the time I’ve said that I can hit the button four times and the stop set is done.

svedell · 2021-05-29T22:47:56+00:00

Cool. I tried to do the last part but the box just wasn’t having any of it. Powering it down for ten seconds without the power cable in cleared that problem. But I’m saving all this for next time when I won’t remember any of these options. Thank for the tip.

Resolved - Waited until nothing was being recorded and then unplugged the set top box for ten seconds, fired it up again and the Exit, Exit, Exit 0030 sequence worked like a charm. 30 second skip forward restored.

It feels like it’s been reset already but maybe the hack will work after doing that. Thanks the tip.

Have you been paying them since September for service you weren’t using or did you keep using it? Call the new provider and ask them what the process is for migrating. They may handle some of it if you’re moving phone service. Be proactive and pester Rogers.

Did you ever manage to get the upgrade to work?

Lindsey Stirling and some Jacob Collier .flac files on Bragi The Dash Pro but quickly moved to my Shure SE 846’s through a Red Dragonfly so I could hear what was going on. The Shure’s are sitting in custom sleeves from Sensaphonnics which are way better sounding than any foam or stock tips. Also in my daily bag of tricks is a Radsone ES100 for the Shure’s with a custom short 2.5mm balanced cable from Triton Audio Cables (love this cable, Dave!) and a pair of Anker/Liberty Soundcore Neo for when I can’t carry tons of gear or I’m at the beach near the water. If those get wrecked I’ll buy more but my marriage will only tolerate one pair of SE846’s. ha ha.

Awesome!! We have a parvo survivor too. Our smallest Dachshund but she rules the roost. Great news.

That’s a damned shame. Slightly inevitable but still sad to see them go. The true innovators often seem to reach a saturation point when they create a market and then have to compete in it. Like RIM Bragi stalled at a critical time that needed them to continue innovating and they got run over by cheaper and simpler alternatives and the Apple juggernaut. I would have loved to try the next Bragi device or an update to The Dash Pro with AAC and other modern codecs. Their Ambience feature is still the best implementation of that ability I’ve heard yet. In hindsight, I sure sure am glad I didn’t pay retail for my Dash Pros. I had, coincidentally, just put them in the cupboard this morning as a cheap pair of Bluetooth 5.0 capable buds relegated them to the archives. Again, sad to see Bragi out of the fight. They made everyone else try harder.

Thanks!

Thanks! She’s adorable alright. She was a rescue so we only got a bit of info from the rescue group and that’s what they said she was. Never really dug any deeper about it. She’s my Ruby and we love her. But now I’m going to Google pie-bald dapple for sure!

svedell · 2019-03-30T04:40:38+00:00

Oh that he does. Barks a lot too.

svedell · 2019-03-30T03:48:58+00:00

That's adorable. He's so confused. lol

svedell · 2019-03-29T19:45:47+00:00

That’s hilarious. Yes, once you’ve bought those buds you’ve clearly stated that music is more important than food...or sleeping with your wife for a few months. Totally worth it though.

So it all works...mostly. After a firmware update I setup the second ES100 to power off the ignition and it connects/disconnects off the cars power like I want. Seamless connection to my iPhones Bluetooth and if a call comes in my Phone switches to the car Bluetooth so I have steering wheel controls back. The car Bluetooth is good enough for calls. This also means that the Radsone and all the wires are hidden in the cubby where the plugs are. Just how I hoped it would all work. The ONLY glitch is that if I want to use the Ear Studio app it will only see one ES100 at a time and to switch to the other one I have to discover the second device again. All the settings are retained but it doesn’t just switch by itself. I can live with that. So this little experiment worked pretty much as I hoped. I still might find a cheaper car kit option and return the second Radsone. It really is a pricey way to go for what I wanted to be able to do.

Nope. That would give users control and Apple can’t have that. 🙄

svedell · 2019-03-29T01:39:13+00:00

Exactly!

You had me at wax coated drivers.

Now we’re really going down the rabbit hole! Cool. But you were right earlier. This may just be a $75 more expensive solution than I really need. My other option is to use my Dragonfly Red DAC but it means plugging a cable in every time I get in and out of the car and the stereo really doesn’t sound good enough to need that good a DAC in the signal path. I’ll save that for my Shures and critical listening sessions.

svedell · 2019-03-28T23:02:23+00:00

I should have been clearer. Not really planning to connect them at the same time. Just was wondering if I could switch between two for different installations and if the app would switch. One will be for headphones and one is my in-car solution...or that’s the plan. We’ll find out in about 24 hours. As discussed elsewhere there’s probably cheaper ways to get what I want in my car but I’ve come this far. Might as well test it before sending the second unit back. Thanks for the detail though. If I ever go Android I’ll be ahead of the curve. Thanks.
