Ditto!

Glorious. Qobuz 16/44. Not released in hi-res (yet), but it might not need it. Includes the violin concerto with Stern (I think, because the timings are different from Oistrakh's).

So many versions of this classic over the decades, but this new vinyl transfer from HDTT is by far the best (DXD version).

Wow!

The best one can hope for are strategically timed disbursements commensurate with one's life expectancy, right ;) I just now found this excellent review by @ray-dude, obviously done before the Taiko USB card was out, and now the new networking essentials (card, switch, router). I was tempted to call them "networking accessories" but based on feedback from those early in the queue, they are much more. And I'm not even prepared to discuss the announced BPS and new DC upgrades that will accomany it. Cheers to the ultimate front-end platform!
