    don't most newer model cars have hdmi inputs?

    that would be a simple usb-c to hdmi connector, like you would use for a wall wart.

    I've used 'boxes' like you showed above for somethings... they work reasonably well.

    Its a 2014, even my 2021 doesn't have HDMI.  Guess I am behind the times. 

  2. I am looking to take my audio out from my phone via USB-C  to either  SPDIF/TOSLINK or Coax that will be connected to my Helix DSP in my car system.  I want to keep it at as digital as possible, so would something like this work? 

     

    Douk Audio U2 XMOS XU208 Digital Interface, USB to TOSLINK Coaxial/Optical Audio Adapter, for DAC/Preamp/Amplifier, Support PCM & DSD64 (Upgrade Version) https://a.co/d/fXxRxQn

     

    Some recommend a DAC Like the Topping D10, but I don't understand why you'd want to go digital to analog, then back to digital, not to mention that's a bulky device to have in the car. 

     

    Thanks

    Do any of you guys still visit friends and listen to music? Since my friend Keith died I doubt if I ever will again. Please excuse my droning on. Good evening.

    No worries, and yes, music is a big reason why we get together. I have a few friends and luckily I get to enjoy different genre's of music with them.  They all enjoy a good sound system,  but that's not as important as just getting together and jamming tunes. Playing in band, going to see bands, all of it.

    Was this the show where there was some controversy with the general admission crowd and the line to get in? Some pushing and shoving ensued.

    Not sure on the show you're thinking, but I was at Slipknot show around the time they started regulating general admission floor seats and a small riot broke out and the police were called in.  As Nickyboy had mentioned, I don't recall any issues at this one.

    I went to see Metallica this past weekend. Kirk Hammett plays that Les Paul “Greeny”. It sounds fantastic. Actually, all their guitars sound great. I am amazed how good they sound live. They didn’t have a single monitor on stage. 

    Looks like we were at the same show,  I believe Cory Harrison was as well.

    are you talking to me? If so I like that they can be balanced input, bridgeable output, built like a tank, serviceable, 1U rack space, no fan and sound decent especially when modded.

    Yeah, I forgot to quote you. The Parasounds have no fan and are bridgeable, but not balanced. I don't know if there is any need to modify them. But they do take up 2 rack spaces.  They have a couple bigger brothers as well.

  7. I dont understand my obsession with this guitar, the first picture maybe the real deal, the second is a replica. I will say after my trip to Nashville a couple weeks ago, it dawned on me how I seem to be more drawn to Gibson

  8. What is it specifically about the Crowns do you like?  I've ran the D45s and thought they sounded great. I chalked this up to their Class AB technology.  That's what I was looking for when stumbling upon the Parasound HCA-750A and alike, the 12 volt trigger is a plus amd no fan.  Downside is that they are 2U rack mount and no XLR input.

    Replacing jubs with jubs is interesting...not sure I'm seeing the potential of $24K of improvement

    2 different versions of Jubilees.

    Bob has an amazing set up. He's only selling them to get new Jubilees!

    I was curious when I saw them for sale, thanks for mentioning that. 

     

    I've heard these Jubs, they sound amazing.
