Audio and the acoustic therapy of spaces
This past Sunday morning I attended a Homecoming service with my GF in rural central Alabama at a 180 year old Baptist church. The church is no longer used - except for the once-per-year homecoming services. It’s a tin-roofed, white-washed wood fr...

@erik_squires LOL I had already thought of that.

@erik_squires I have a Mac Mini. It has a 120v input. How would I run it on battery power? (To investigate the same thing: see if there's a benefit to isolation.)

@martykl Todd Rundgren for sure!Both great songs and DEFINITELY an artist I also considered. Can We  Still Be Friends or Hello It's Me. A song can be sappy and still be a great song.

Look at Audioquest, Oppo, Fiio, Ifi. Most of these are battery operated headphone amp/Dacs.  Most also have a line output capability. The Audioquests will need a cable adapter.   Love my Oppo HA-2 purchased here for $250.
