"Computer Audiophile is proud to announce the inaugural Computer Audiophile Symposium to take place at world-renowned Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, California. Never before has an event demonstrated this complete musical chain. Experience everything from a live acoustic performance to a high resolution digital recording to the state of the art in computer-based playback. Witness legendary Recording Engineer and product innovator Prof. Keith O. Johnson capture this live performance. Industry leaders including Mastering Engineer Paul Stubblebine, Reference Recording's Marcia Martin, Sonic Studio's Jonathan Reichbach, Berkeley Audio Design's Michael "Pflash" Pflaumer, and representatives from Meridian-Sooloos will illustrate every step in the chain from performance to playback. In addition to these well recognized panelists, Matan Arazi will debut a groundbreaking music server and his approach to developing this all-out assault on computer based-playback."

I work with a lot of these guys so I'll be there. Based on my experience from the past couple of CESs, the technology shown at this meeting will pretty much cover the state of the art in hi-res music server technology.

  I've stayed away from digital for some time but I know high rez digital and computer servers is the future. Your release of a DAC will make it hard for me to stay away for long.

  Will you have something to show there? ;-)

    Our project is moving along very nicely thanks to John Swenson's hard work. I can't say that we will have anything ready to play music at the symposium, but we might at least have some parts for show and tell.
    
    I do know that the server technology that is scheduled to be there is some of the best I've heard.

      When it comes time for me to go to a hi res music server, your DAC will already be out and you'll know what servers are the best bang for the buck. I'll choose from your short list. I was in the computer industry and I know how fast it moves. For me, this is a time to just follow those you trust.
      
      I thought of your DAC last night. We watched Neil Young's "Comes a Time" from Netflix on the PC (a graphics CAD server). He is probably my favorite musician and there were times I wished I had your DAC.
      
      
      
      
      Triamp... Take a load off!

      Sounds great. I'll be looking to make a jump to high-res digital sometime this summer, and given my experience with the s.e.x. amp, I'm certainly going to wait to see what you come up with.
