5: When Things Go Terribly Wrong…

March 28, 2017

…or at least, when things don’t go the way you expect them to.
Today’s episode is about patience.  I received a piece of gear that I couldn’t get to connect to the interwebs, and Paul and I fiddled for hours with the Oppo Sonica DAC until we got files loaded from our hard drive.  Now, the latter was not Oppo’s fault at all.  Paul just has a complicated system at home.  At my house, it integrated easily, and I’ve loved the sound.  But we both agree there’s some breaking in to do.
When experimenting with new gear, in the quest for perfect sound…not everything is going to play together.  So, this episode is about a bit of patience.
