Dude I read that part a few times... The person delivering this quote isn't interpreting self-immolation the same way (as an act of protest to highlight atrocities), like, at all...

I mean, if my cheque was off by a couple of hundred dollars, I'd want to follow up on the discrepancy (not in panic mode though). My wife's a high earner and some pay was delayed a month due to staff turnover.

Leadership was like "it shows financial stability to be able to wait for pay," but people have budgets and plans for that money. Otherwise it's an interest free loan to the organization - the money should be paid out timely.

But I do agree, overall, that folks should be able to manage their budget, especially as a high earner.

Hahaha I was assigned Burlington by this year's wrapped. Guess I'm moving to the lesbian commune out in Vermont.

I do most of my listening on Qobuz, so the results here are probably skewed! Love me some king gizzy, big thief, dirty projectors, and etc.

Urban Latino gang what's up

Depends on the guy, is he attractive? Gotta try 2-3 times to be sure I don't like it.

No it's a good question. It would support playing the flac, but the power output on these players (like the m15s) is way higher than what you'd get from a $2-300 phone. Additionally, the 2.5 and 4.4mm ports are balanced outputs, which you're probably not going to get from a cheaper phone. The cheaper phone also likely won't support LDAC blue tooth.

It's that this device is more specialized towards rendering high quality audio and has the power output to drive demanding headphones that require a lot of juice to drive. The separation of instruments is more noticeable and you can crank up the volume extremely loud and there is no distortion to the audio, which is nice for parties.

The device I use daily also has a battery bypass function that enables "ultra high gain", so when I'm at home and want to drive my bookshelf speakers, I can turn the gain way up and feed the signal into another amp (using the fiio as a pre-amp to push more power to the amp). That way I'm not impacting the life of the battery in the audio player. The volume would be limited using a phone.

Edit: I fully acknowledged that the m15s is expensive, even on sale. I love listening to lossless music, travel regularly for work, and like spoiling myself with a high quality, portable setup. I use the player in my car, for get togethers, and while mowing the lawn. I've been very happy with the purchase and use the player daily. Enough power to drive my 660s and Shure 846 iems.

Yes the players support lossless/flac and LDAC blue tooth codecs. I have foobar loaded onto the android player. I also use Qobuz/Roon. I like the auto playlists that roon generates and I can control different zones in the house with different Roon endpoints. I like qobuz for the detailed write ups and I can download high res files so they're available offline.

The m15s was on sale for a bit at apos.audio. I got it because I liked the options to bypass battery /increase gain when plugged in. Also has 3 different output options -2.5mm, 3.5mm, and 4.4mm

I also have the device that only functions as a blue tooth player, which is nice in the car.

Glad to answer any other questions you've got.

Fiio has some pretty solid options for this. I really enjoy the Android mp3 player I picked up from them.

Just finished a bike ride, gonna play with my cats some, take a nap, and hang out with some friends later (probably going to play some board games).
