Berkeley Alpha Dac Series II, anyone heard it?
In addition to the isolation from what I understand the clock is the major change. This is the same clock chip that is used in the Alpha USB and is supposed to be a new, SOTA chip. 
Are there new players with HDCD?
The Berkeley Alpha dac will decode it....heck they wrote the code so it should! 
Berkeley Alpha Dac Series II, anyone heard it?
Lightminer...I have not seen any user reports over there on the BADA series 2? There are some comments on the USB interface, including mine (it's been quite the addition, outstanding piece of gear). I'm waiting on delivery of my series 2 dac, mayb... 
Please Help Identify Video Music
Sounds an awful lot like Maps and Diagrams but cannot place the song or album. Just more of a guess from the texture and instruments. Field Rotation comes to mind as well.A side note, if you are into ambient/drone, explore Tim Hecker (if you have ... 
Subsonic music streaming app
I don't think any of those apps will stream to an Android device via 3/4G except for Subsonic and Audiogalaxy. If there is an app that will do that without transcoding lossless files please do tell! 
Music Server VS Laptop
You may want to check out DBPoweramp for ripping. Accomplishes the same thing as EAC, much more user friendly and better tagging system. 
Best Rock Album in 2011
Dgarretson...that Will Oldham album is a great one. Highly under appreciated artist IMO.I'm not much of a Wilco fan but the first and last songs on The Whole Love are amazing. I could take or leave the rest but those certainly make it worth owning... 
Subsonic music streaming app
Pretty sure Audiogalaxy will support those files, at least I am certain it will flac. Both programs stream lossless files as mp3 and sound about the same...which is petty damn good actually. Glad you were able to get Subsonic rolling. Audiogalaxy ... 
Recordings with BASS
I had a serious bass moment yesterday. Zwischentone (Nuances) by Windwerk (24/192 !!). Major pipe organ action, track 2, "Improvisation". 
Subsonic music streaming app
Forgot to add...Audiogalaxy is also free and it streams via 3G/4G so you do not need a wireless connection. Subsonic will do that also but not nearly as error free. 
Subsonic music streaming app
I used it for a while and if you search the archives I think I started a thread about it.....but...it's quirky and hard to set up. I now use an app called Audio Galaxy which is much more user friendly. They both tans-code lossless to mp3 and sound... 
Best CD I've heard so far 2011.........
This one comes with a disclaimer:95% are going to be deeply disturbed by this record but the 5% that dig bass music, dub techno, tribal, minimal, glitch stuff are going to freak on it. If you love Shackleton, Burial, Deadbeat, Scuba, Raime or even...

Notec...thanks for the Richmond Fontaine post. Longtime fan and was not aware of the new album. Another to add on my list! 
Power Cords--Your Preference?
I've owned and tried many and the ones I always come back to are Acoustic Revive. To me they are the most natural, organic and "real" sounding cords. I do also like the MIT Z3 and newer Shunyata cords but first choice would be Acoustic Revive. 
"Hidden Gems"'
Danielsson / Dell / Landgren SALZAU MUSIC ON THE WATERThis is a cool sorta chamber jazz record but have a read on how it was made. I really enjoy it.http://www.actmusic.com/product_info.php?products_id=203&language=enhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/music...
