Name for up coming Bottlehead DAC?

[2wo]

I don't know, as long as this has been in the works. I'm sticking with "Anticipation"...John

Anticipation has been used hasn't it?  It was a mod to the original Foreplay I believe.

 

[galyons]

Yep! My Anticipation manual is copyright dated 1998, Electronic Tonalities.  It was the original C4S upgrade for the Foreplay.

Gestation. 

But really - BDSM is really good.

Well...wouldn't that be a "DAC Tease"?!  ;D

B.D.S.M now that's just pure creative class

Wiki says  "Interest in BDSM can range from one-time experimentation to a lifestyle" 

 

[InfernoSTi]

If it doesn't have tubes, we could call it Castration?

That is reserved for a DAC that only works on a UNIX computer.

Best,
John

I agree with everyone else who thinks "Best Digital Source for Music or B.D.S.M for short" is a great name.  However, if you want something simple how about "DAC Envy".  For the obvious reasons.

I think 'best' is a bit pretentious, but I could go for Bottlehead Digital Source for Music.

 

[xcortes]

If it's not the Best I'm not buying one.

 

[tdogzthmn]

Glad to know many are amused by my suggested name.

I understand Doc's comment about "Best" being a tad pretentious but given my experience with your gear to date, I wouldn't say it's far from being a true statement.

Since there's an Eros, how about Philos or Agape? (perhaps too obscure)

Endorphin
Exstasy

 

[fullheadofnothing]

Agape is great!

 

[Paul Joppa]

I like Agape too - it's digital so not quite as visceral as Eros. Plus of course, it sounds so un-digital it leaves your mouth agape!  :^) maybe we should spell it authentically: Ἀγάπη

 

[Doc B]

I'm reading definitions of Eros as physical love - more the visceral attraction, and Philia as mental love - more the cerebral attraction. I would suggest that this might be more appropriate to delineate LP from digital.

As for Agape, the unconditional spiritual love?
Well agape does rhyme with tape. Coincidence? I think not.

 

[Armaegis]

The meaning changes depending how you say it:
... "rhymes with tape" means amazement.
... "ah gah pey" means unconditional love (typically has spiritual connotations)

 

[Doc B]

I think Philos is gonna be it.

 

[Chris]

Well, we are all audiophiles... So Philos seems appropriate... I can dig...

 

[ffivaz]

In french "une agape" is a small meal. It comes from the religious meaning of the word : "une agape" was the small meal the first christians took together in what would become known as a church.

 

[Armaegis]

I think Philos is gonna be it.

Ooh, since I named it does that mean I get a dac in the mail?    ;D
