Kindda odd that they’re doing single movement from Mahler No. 10, would be awesome (and difficult) if they would do the whole thing. They also tagged on the Rhine Journey from Wagner’s ring cycle, interesting program selections for sure…

Macworld: Podcasts: Macworld Podcast #30: Intel Mac minis, iPod Hi-Fi
Cyrus Farivar talked about the iPod HiFi in the MacWorld podcast, he seems to know what he’s talking about, he noted that the iPod HiFi does have distortion, it doesn’t separate, and it has a flat mid-range and low bass. It also has no real soundscape. [...]

So you can get a 3-day trial for Sirius Online, I’m listening to it right now, as expected, the sound quality is crap. I would sign up if I can listen to the Howard Stern show from the morning, I never get up early enough to listen to it. They should make it available to [...]

This is what iLounge had to say in their brief review:
iPod Hi-Fi High-Fidelity Speaker System for iPod | First Look
Audio quality? We don’t ever like to comment on this until we’ve done straight comparisons, but it was evident in each of Apple’s four demo rooms that the Hi-Fi is capable of revealing flaws in compressed [...]

No surprises from the 2/28 event, I’m curious to hear how the iPod Hi-Fi sounds like, for $350, which makes this thing less expensive than most in-ear-monitors, it is most likely not truly “Hi-Fi”, but it still does cost quite a bit more than the other solutions, and it has an optical input for the [...]

Also, there were only maybe 2 performances that were entirely in tune, it was a bit [...]

Dell discontinues hard drive audio players:
We’ve long since noticed Dell’s lineup of hard drive-based portable audio players have vanished from their site, but this they officially commented on the death of the drive-based segment of their Dell Pocket DJ (Digital Jukebox) line and made it official that those devices were phased out over the [...]

So I saw the Orbino case yesterday and had to order one, I have Martin Fields’ Overlay Plus for the front of my iPod, and Invisible Shield for the sides and back, but I kindda need a clip coz my IEM’s cord isn’t quite long enough to put my pod in my pockets… Anyway, I [...]

I got the latest iTunes and QuickTime updates this afternoon, and now I can stream music to multiple local and Airport Express speakers… pretty cool!
