Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
I agree, it certainly was good fun, and there definitely were some ‘characters’ in the industry. I’m off to the Cranage show later this month, for the annual catch-up with some old faces.- Mike Foley

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
I agree, but I got sick of hearing it. Now, thirty odd years later, it’s a favourite.- Mike Foley

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
That’s one I remember from my days in Hi-Fi retail. It’s one of those albums I never want to hear again. I couldn’t listen to Brothers In Arms, or the first Tracy Chapman album, for a few years all thanks to folk constantly asking for them to audition the latest CD players. Another on regular...- Mike Foley

iFi Audio ZEN Phono 3... Turn On Tranquility
ZEN Phono 3 is running in nicely in the Man-Cave system, in place of my usual Schiit Mani. So far it’s sounding excellent with this brand new piece of proggy goodness.- Mike Foley

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
There’s a label here in the UK, Plane Groovy, which sells a fine selection of Prog. They did have a subscriber club which introduced me to some fine music, but unfortunately that’s closed now. Much of the music released there is still available under the new owners, Burning Shed. It’s worth a...- Mike Foley

Qobuz doesn’t work directly with the ZEN Stream. One has to use mConnect. Tidal Connect works, as does Spotify Connect. For Qobuz the Wiim or Bluesound is a much better bet.- Mike Foley

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
In my house there’s a Node 2i, Wiim Pro, and iFi ZEN Stream. Ignoring sound quality, I find the nicest to use are the Wiim, then the Node, with the ZEN trailing in third. The Zen is reliant on the likes of mConnect for accessing Qobuz, which is ok, but not as nice as the Wiim app, or Bluesound...- Mike Foley

I got into headphones when I lived with my parents, and they didn’t want to listen to my music. 🙂- Mike Foley

Hiby R6 Pro II (2023 Edition) - Launch, Hype, Thoughts & More
I’ve just tried again, and this time it carried on charging past 80%. From reading this thread, it seems the correct way to charge (if wanting to stop at a set limit) is to power on the player before plugging into the charger. I have had zero problems doing it this way.- Mike Foley
