I finally pulled the trigger, completing my rig. But I had to improvise due to the chip shortage. Instead of a 24” 4.5K iMac, I went with a 16 GB RAM, 1 TB MBA. Thirteen inches is too small for these aging eyes, so I went in the opposite direction. I purchased a 32”...

Freshly Squeezed Op-Ed: Apple, Gimmie Some Truth
I was a regular bar playing musician for many, many years. Despite limitations due to health, until now, I still dabble in composition. When Apple announced Spatial Audio, their version of Dolby Atmos, I was very interested to hear their results. I wanted to revisit...
Freshly Squeezed Reviews: Zen DAC Revisited
Roughly half a year ago, I did a review of the ifi Zen DAC v2. I thought I'd bring you up to speed on my experience thus far. I use my Zen DAC in my studio apartment, attached to my iMac. I run it off of phantom power and have it hooked up externally to a pair of...

Freshly Squeezed OpEd: It’s Crying Time Again
Every year I’m afforded the opportunity to rewrite the same Op-Ed from the previous year. Ok, let’s start by opening the thesaurus. Look up Apple fanboi or girl. You’ll find the synonym ‘gullible’. After lo these many years, at what point is it going to dawn...

Center Cam is slightly smaller than the size of a dime, sporting a 1920x1080p 2.0 mp HD camera with a 30fps native frame rate mounted to a USB-A cord (a USB-C cord can be purchased as an accessory). It supports a plethora of platforms from various Window’s iterations,...
Freshly Squeezed Reviews: Mezmoglobe Keeps On Spinnin’
A little over one year ago, I wrote a review about my collection of items that help me retain some amount of sanity as I navigate my daily workflow. I’ve tried the Palmedero Method (25 minutes work, 5 minutes chill) but I couldn’t get it to achieve its objective...

I Like iFi
Now that Apple has tossed its hat into the Lossless Audio ring, as I explained last month, you will require a new piece of hardware - a DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter)/headphone amp. This is irregardless if you’re using a mobile device or a desktop/laptop. The...
Freshly Squeezed OpEd: Stop it, Just Stop It
I watch a lot of YouTube. Actually, I watch way too much YouTube. I often use it for research purposes sometimes. Pathetic, eh? I’m sure you’ve seen a plethora of videos regarding “jellygate”. Apple didn’t create the problem, it’s a hardware limitation (though I see...
