Rhodeys are happy.

Take your meds they told me.

Gm Bitchez. It's Friday. Let's f*cking go!

Anyone else using soulseek still? On Andoid it's called Seeker.

To be clear. I'm not giving up analog. I'm set up to listen to am/fm, tape and vinyl, and it really is my preferred audio experience. But it is impossible to deny the clarity of some of the remasters put out in hi-res. Better separation, improved bass, lower noise floor... I also am absolutely convinced that I can't hear the difference of the same release in CD quality vs. hi-res for 2 channel or 2.1 listening. The 5.1 albums are always in hi-res though, at least as far as I can tell. View quoted note →

I've been going down a bit of a rabbit hole trying to source hi res audio files and setup proper bit-perfect digital playback. I've had a bluray player for years, and getting a blu ray audio disc is almost never a bad purchase.... but still, they're pricier than my typical budget and require (at least for my old player) a tv to be hooked up to listen to the hi-res content. SADC is an attractive alternative for hi res, 5.1, etc... until you again look at the price of these players... not to mention that the DACs in my receivers won't decode DSD anyway. That conundrum led me down the path of wanting to just play hi-res music from my phone. Of course, bluetooth isn't good enough for hi-res playback as it compresses the stream in a lossy format that cuts into the audible frequency range of our music... It turns out, even with a usbc out, android (and probably phones too) will limit the audio quality of what passes through, so the OS has to be bypassed with a dedicated app. On Android, the best paid solution is UAPP. Ok great. Got the app. Messed with settings ... and .... I dont have a usb in to my receiver for this. Of course. So, I bought an adapter that carries a bit-perfect signal from the UAPP app to the coaxial input on my receiver. Did you know that you can use any rca cable on this digital input. Yup. Stability may improve with a legit coax cable, but you might not need it at all. Anyway, I have not to say about all this hi-fi audio stuff. I'm an old analog buff at heart, but I can clearly see where my limitations are set if I refuse to adapt. View quoted note →

I got my old phone set up as a dedicated hi-res music player. Feelin' Thick as a Brick right now.

Is it too late to say GM? Clock says I got 10 more minutes. ⏰️

You. This is a weird tape! Haha. @bitpunk.fm is typing

This is as close as I ever came to making an album. Its a licensed recording of original music poorly recorded and mixed like shit. Best w/headphones. 🤣

Practice Before The Show

Live recording of our practice the day before the Sol Collective show...

I'm using UAPP for bit perfect playback on Android. It's rad. But to use on multiple devices I have to sign in to Google. Nostr would be much better for this. View quoted note →

There should be a nostr-based file sharing app. And a nostr-based Hi-res audio player capable of bitperfect playback. Thanks.

I think this may have been the peak of what's possible in media. View quoted note →
