Hi all. Does anyone have any experience of using a DAC like the Cambridge Audio Dacmagic to upgrade their streaming? My CDs are in the loft, turntable is not an option, so I want my streaming to be as good as possible without splurging on a network streaming deck. I’m using chromecast audio which is surprisingly good but I guess the built in DAC on a £30 piece of kit could be improved upon. Just wondered if the sonic improvements are worthwhile? Cheers.

If you drink coffee immediately before bed you can fall asleep before the stimulant effect kicks in. Probably doesn’t do much for your quality of sleep. If it’s been your routine for years then it’s not going to be a problem. I find that coffee in the evening causes me to wake up in the early hours and have an awful restless night.

Yeah I was surprised I must admit. I think I’m going to put a battery in it and start wearing it again.

I’ve got one in my pants drawer, battery died moons ago. Give me market price less a bit if you like.

I fucking hate gadgety scales. Drug dealer scales ftw. Try to get ones that take regular batteries, they’ll probably last a year which is way better than having to USB charge some bloody scales.

Very good, definitely go and see them, one the best live acts I’ve seen.

I bought these after I finished plastering but I still haven’t got over the time I jumped off my hop-up when boarding a ceiling and straight onto a screw through the middle of my foot. That’s why I went for the steel sole.

They’re lovely. Too nice to wear to work!

Buckler. Made in Scotland. Mine have lasted years. They weigh a ton but are incredibly warm and comfortable.

Approx 8 years later and after a full tin of dubbin over the nubuck

Just conjured the Harold and Maude hearse.

Thought it would have scratched the itch but now I’m yearning for a black/black Speedy which I’ll never be able to justify spending the money on.

Got the Swatch. Happy with it.

There’s a longer highlights package on YouTube which is ok. https://youtu.be/wwjNxftSebM

Love Geoff Barrow, saw Beak> before xmas and they were hilarious on stage.

Did that all the time in my old diesel, drive for about half an hour in second gear, problem solved.

I get a check engine light occasionally, cheapo wired scanner tells me its Vanos solenoids, internet approved solution seems to be go and rag it for a while to unclog them as I've apparently not been activating the high-lift regularly enough. Works too.

Thanks to everyone who emailed, I’ll sort it all out tomorrow

Yes sure hope so, looks like it’s heading that way. Balls to reducing test matches to 4 days.

Thanks that looks great. Out of my budget though.

Do you reckon they’re going to dig in and try to survive for the draw or go for the runs?

Google win predictor still has SA at 47%, Eng at 42% and 11% chance of a draw. Joe Root must be keeping his eye on that.

I’ve got some past-crop washed Yirgacheffe Beloya which still tastes great. I forgot I had it waiting to be called-in and started bringing in my fresh crop Guji.
£16.00/kg +£5.50 postage if anyone fancies it. Got about 30kg left.

That’s nice that. Like the gunmetal. I’ve pressed go on the Swatch now, Abut I can always send it back.
