I love the 'boring and hidden' aspect. I used to have a huge stereo system. Nowadays I have a PC with a good sound card. It runs Kodi and is hooked up to two active speakers. Every…

A cheap app that will provide results comparable to Neumann, Trinnov or Lyngdorf is drc-fir [0]. It will correct frequency response and phase while correcting the reverberation in …

Finally, I can decorate my virtual home with blood splatters, a bag of dope, a gun and a grinder. In all seriousness, the application is pretty cool but some of the 3d models inclu…

The only thing better than a Miele is a Miele Professional. All the benefits of the household models but a lot faster. My PG8081 takes 36 minutes when it's full. That's when it's c…

I hope they really push this concept and sell the hardware at a loss. A lime micro SDR with a raspberry pi in a box is a radio hacker's dream come true.

The fact that she never got around to learning the ranks of the soldiers in the army didn't help either. It looked like she didn't really care and would rather be doing something e…

And that's why the workers at Kostal in Iserlohn are now out of a job. Doesn't really matter what was chosen if you can't afford it, unfortunately.

We seem to have a different definition of irony than Freak_NL. Fair enough :-)

I'm getting the impression that "the top" has already decided to go with deindustrialization. I hope to be proven wrong.

The irony here is that members of the green party are demonstrating against policies that their own party agreed to.

I'm in Germany and can absolutely confirm these impressions. Factories are closing and moving abroad. The misguided policies are forcing them to. Publicly traded multinational comp…

The amount of vocal fry in her speech makes this really annoying to listen to.

High end Miele is absolutely fantastic. I bought a professional grade machine (PG 8081) second hand and I love it. I have it hooked up to the warm water faucet so that it uses wate…

No they don't. They run ALSA.

Audio passthrough on the pi is done using ALSA. There is no bitbanging of anything going on here.

It does no such thing. It either plays out via ALSA or Pulseaudio.

I kind of miss honesty, though.

David Rowe's blog at rowetel.com details a lot of the development behind codec2 and is always an interesting read.

This is incorrect. Accurate reproduction of low frequency content is still very hard to do and you can hear low frequencies for as long as you live.

What has been heard cannot be unheard. Back in the day I did some ABX comparisons of various mp3 encoders. I unwillingly trained my hearing to spot encoder artifacts forever . I te…

The thought of that is hilarious, thanks for sharing this brainfart.
