I'm very, very impressed with your schedule, thanks for sharing.
Next week I'll report for work, compile some more HDL code, generate the test vectors, and if time allows I'll run a few end to end logic simulations using these. Not much fun for me, you'll have tons of fun and, meantime, the unique opportunity to advance the DYI audio experience.
It's not justifying anything. DSD is a relic of the days when 1-bit converters were a thing. The best measuring way for mortals to do DSD right now probably is through an ES9018 DAC. The absolute best? Probably Bruno's new toy if you can get your hands on one:
DAC
If you want to hear DSD "as-intended" try to get a Sony SCD-1. That was their reference SACD player. Uses something Sony calls a "current pulse" D/A converter.

Life is good for those who have few bills and retire early enough. I paid my dues also.... years of the grind.
If you use FaceBook... anyone can see what I have been up to. BTW- my girls are really not mine. I support a small family so the children can get an education. Otherwise, they would be sold or married off -- their village is a two day trek on a dirt path. Poor doesnt adequately describe the life in remote Nepal. Girls rarely get an education. I have been supporting them in Kathmandu since they started school and next year the oldest girl will grad from high school... The first in their village. Even though she now lives in Kathmandu to go to school, there are only 7 girls attending in her grade. She is planning to be a civil engineer. After surviving one of the worlds most powerful earth quakes and she was at the epi-center at a wedding (which I was invited to but didnt attend), she really wants to help rebuild and install infrastructure. And, both of the girls are incredibly beautiful as well as smart. They will have a better life than planting and watching the rice grow.
Live life to the max and dont waste your time only working for a living.

ColorMunki, then you have to calibrate your printed for different paper types you use etc.
18% grey works best.
I also use this for critical colour shots I want..

Life is too short for anything else.
1. Take career risks when you are young i.e. up until you are about 40
2. If opportunity allows, strike out into business on your own when you are young
3. If you opt for a career, make sure you do not stay in the same job, or company, more than 3 years for the first half of your career - i.e. up until 40. If you do not move, your salary will stagnate and in most cases so will your worth to the company.
4. Only move if its up - avoid sideways - mistake many folk make
5. Network, network, network. If you are a nerd/introvert (I am) you will have to work hard at this one.
I am teaching my son these things. He is making progress.

That's the Sony PR version with a phony line for PCM noisefloor.

OTOH you could argue I have stagnated, but I can be home in 10 minutes and get to put sproglet to be everynight. That's worth a s*itload of money.
As for point 3, my salary increased 6 fold in 10 years in the same company in my 20s and early 30s... Might have been an outlier tho.
Agree on the risks, and damnation to wife 1.0

LOL - you put that down to experience.
Agree you have to have work- life balance. But some folks make a choice: their work is their life.

These days I feel like getting in on a start-up is the real choice.
By the way, anyone else think this is cool?

One thing to add. PUBLISH YOURSELF: Especially if you are a working stiff now. That is the big mistake I made. I kind of knew it in the 90's and 00's; that I should have written a few articles. But I was too caught up in the rat race and family, kids... This was a big hole when I started Lounge. I had to start with no paper trail for the public to see."Live life to the max and don't waste your time only working for a living."

The PCM noise looked fishy, classic marketing spew and a lot of companies do it. Fiddle with the FFT lengths to move the noise floor down. The shape though demonstrates the noise shaped dither.
Well my evening has been ruined (in a good way) by my boss putting me onto https://boomkat.com/ . There is stuff here that even Scott would find odd! Been sampling lots and some great stuff. For some reason very tempted to get the Daphne Oram CDs they have. Not something you would listen to regularly, but you have to go back to roots now and again 🙂
