DSD can be liken to Shakespeare...

[徐中銳]

Likened to Shakespeare, usually, performed subpar—that is !

 

Simply, people consume Spotify... And YouTube, but not always :

Jon Finch as Macbeth in Roman Polanski's 1971 adaptation.

Point being, can one really judge DSD just because the music system is « playing » a DSD file ? Even with—for starters—obvious or not, « transcoding » to PCM and...

 

So, who's aware (when watching film at, at best, 1080p) like Theseus :

The best in this kind are but shadows; and the worst are no worse, if imagination amend them.

[徐中銳]

Or DSD should be like :

« To eat fugu is to put your life on the line. That's why Japanese chefs must train for years before serving the notoriously poison puffer fish to the public. For more than 45 years, chef Sasaki has served this potentially lethal delicacy to patrons in his Tokyo restaurant. Feeling hungry ? »

Fugu is one of those things that are simply unfathomable from the standpoint of logic. I mean it's just a fish, and no matter how tasty it might be, nobody needs it. Personally, I've watched some of my Japanese colleagues and friends partake of the "delicacy" on the many occasions that I have been in Japan, but I declined to join them. Whenever I asked them why they found it so necessary to put their life on the line for a few strips of fish flesh, they couldn't answer. The best I could get out of any of them was that it was a "cultural thing". They can have it. I wouldn't try fugu under any conditions! Besides, I don't even like fish that much...

 

On the other hand, I do like DSD!

I don't know how to "serve" DSD.

[Foggie]

Easy, you serve it with one of these

I think the OP needs a holiday and not listen to PCM.

[徐中銳]

You're proving your thinking as fallacious. As if you can be certain of what I listen to, or support. When you're on holiday, try reading, for example :

« Hanse de procurar los medios humanos como si no hubiese divinos, y los divinos como si no hubiese humanos. »

Well, Sal, All you need to know is that DSD is not poisonous!

Boy, that Wilhelm is one eliptical dude. Is pot legal in NZ? Kaiser Willie either smokes too much or not enough!

I think it would be a hoot to go bowling with him.

Whoever's queen you might be, your flattering proposals of drugs and drinks are futile, you won't be mine.

Having resided in several foreign countries over the years, I know how hard it is to communicate. I only have the deepest respect for anyone attempts to learn and use a foreign language. That said, Kaiser Willi sometimes sounds if he has had a gargle or two of an adult beverage before he hits the computer. I wonder what his favorite libation is?

Not Sal. More than one member rides a motorcycle.

Nice. Another take:

 

[徐中銳]

My grandparents, they've the Desiderata on their kitchen wall—and most of us know how that starts.

Have patience, I trust you to work-it-out ; I'll elaborate at a better time.

The only justification necessary is that it eventually resulted in one of the great Simpsons episodes.

Nobody needed to climb Everest or go to the moon or buy a fancy little USB enhancement device. We do these things because we can and because it gives us some level of satisfaction. I've had fugu during one my business trips to Japan. I respect those who like the taste or the thrill or whatever reason why they may like it. I personally prefer halibut or yellow tail sashimi.

 

DSD to me is like a car brand. Just because it has a particular brand does not mean that automatically its a good car. Every brand has some good cars and some bad cars. It all depends on the design.

Batter fried Walleye v. Fugu, LOL, there's no contest here. Give me a pint of oatmeal stout, a ration of tartar sauce, a playful wench, and my taste buds are on overload. Raw fish never interested me.

 

That being said. I am very appreciative of Chinese history and the Asian artistic aesthetic in general. For many years I have been collecting porcelain antiques, from Asian dealers for resale here in the states. Although there is a financial incentive to do this, I really got started because of my deep appreciation of the find detail and hand work of the artisans. There is something very gratifying in handling a 1000 year old piece of ceramic and finding an underglaze finger print in the clay, left there by someone who probably spent his/her entire life working long, long days.

Ideally, recommend us a DSD-chef akin to :

« Melissa Kelly, an award-winning chef and a conscientious farmer who has created a culinary community in the forest of Rockland, Maine. At PRIMO, Melissa embodies the philosophy that shapes how she cooks, and how she lives. »

Or no... :

With you all the way on this. There isn't much better food in the universe than fresh, batter fried walleye, or any well prepared Walleye in general. While I certainly enjoy a good oatmeal stout, that might be a touch heavy for fish, I'd save it for after. +1 on the playful wench as a perfect addition (to essentially anything), and yes, my fish too, must be cooked!

Wilhelm, if you aren't consuming the mind altering substances mentioned earlier, could we at least get a picture of the space ship when you next travel home?
