Stifled innovation … compared to what?

I listen to lossless audio through my iPad Pro using USB-C to connect to an iFi-Audio headphone amplifier connected to a pair of QUAD ERA planar headphones. The sound is superb and the better the recording the better it gets. However, when I’ve listed to the Dolby Atmos version where available I invariably prefer the standard stereo version as the DA version seem to lose detail and imaging and gain bass which I don’t like at all.

However, I did listen to Moby’s “Reprise” from 2021 on the Deutsche Grammophon label in Dolby Atmos and thought it was notably improved over the stereo performance, but to date that’s the only one where I prefer the Dolby Atmos version. Probably because I’ve listened to so few DA versions due to disappointing experiences to date, Moby excepted! Maybe time to try a few more …

Wonderful news! I’ve been waiting excitedly since the end of Season 1 (which I re-watched) for Season 2.

As I grew up in the 70s when people naturally had to wait between one series and another, I have patience. I think this is in mortal danger these days when everything has to be now, now, now or people loose interest, whether it’s Amazon rather than having to go to a shop, McDonalds rather than home cooking, supermarket “bread” rather than making it yourself … or Foundation Series 2 not following about a month or two after the end of Series 1.

Some things are worth waiting for. I firmly believe that Foundation is one of them.

The iMac looks beautiful just as it is - sleek, minimal, elegant and unique.

Talk about a solution in search of a problem …

Why Apple won't put GPS into iPad? Many apps won't work without GPS. 

I’m on my 3rd iPad and every one I’ve had since my very first in 2010 has had GPS, so I’m really not sure what you are talking about.
