Just read this article. Comes with an mp3 file of a short clip of a singer crooning "Au Claire de lune"... and the recording is believed to be from... 1860!!! Predates Edison's invention by like 20 years.

Last Saturday my Pioneer Elite DV-58V universal player arrived after receiving full-boat mods from Ric Schultz. You can see Ric's offerings at:

It's about 100-hours into burn-in, so I'm waiting until next weekend to record in-depth findings. Here's a preview; it blows away the stock Oppo 981HD.
I'll try to get a review out by early next week.

I like to play Apple lossless files through my home stereo from my Apple Macbook. I have a very budget DAC (the Firestone Audio "Fubar") and it worked fine at first, but now, not so well.
Every few minutes, my music is interrupted by an awful noice that's sounds like a piece of paper being torn in half...like the song is literally stumbling. Something to do with the sound file's transmission? It seems to happen more frequently if I'm using the computer to browse the Internet or burn a CD, but it also happens by itself with no other apps open.
I'm in NYC Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday next week (4/2-4/4) for a convention. Anyone up for another meetup?
