Well im looking into buying an Asgard and was wanting to know what is the best bang for my buck for a dac for this amp?
DAC for Schiit Asgard
Gear mentioned in this thread:

Congrats, I definetely say get the bifrost if that's something in your range, if you want more portability, then the nuforce HDP, if you want something slightly cheaper, get the HRT MS2+
the bifrost is really good in soundstage and pairing with my lyr +k701, while some tracks still being analytical a little bit, when not doing AB testing, I enjoy my setup
Well the bitfrost is way out of my price range. I was thinking 175 for a dac tops. I will be using the HD598's with this combo. They already have a nice open soundstage but they are just lacking drive. I love the way they sound by themselves with just my Motherboard's DAC and would like to keep that same sound just punch up the drive a little. :D

If you like the quality of your sound already, just get the Asgaard.
You will love it. Especially with the HD598 it is magical. Enjoy.
Get a DAC only after not being happy with what you got ;-)
Well the only problem is i have no way to go from the 1/8th inch plug to RCA for the Amp. I hope there is another way to do so without a dac.

Well, since you like the sound of your computer's DAC, just go that route for now. You could get this kind of cable to connect the computer headphone jack to the Asgard:
Edited by mikenike - 2/8/12 at 12:52am
Actually, scratch that link and sorry for the double post, but I can't seem to change the link in the previous post. Look up '3.5mm to RCA monoprice' at Amazon. The first listing seems to have sturdier connectors on the RCA end than the one in the link I posted above.

Another recommendation for the HRT Music Streamer II. You will not need RCA cables with the HRT Music Streamer II. With two male-to-male RCA couplers you can plug it directly to the Asgard.

I have the asgard and had an hd598. Not needed. It did not open up the headphone at all. It sounded the same through my gaming Astro mixamp. The only benefit i have found from an amp for the hd598 is that it gets louder. Nothing more.
As for a Dac and the hd598 i always recommend a dac but do NOT bother getting anything more than a udac with the headphone. The hd598 does not have good detail retrieval at all and the bifrost would be way over kill. One of the reasons i loved my 598 so much. Sometimes my other equipment is so analytical that it is more neat to listen to than musical. The 598's are musical because of the detail

'Hope Against Hope' explores education in New Orleans
New Orleans did not volunteer to become a laboratory for experiments in revitalizing public school education. But the widespread destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 led to a series of actions that have almost completely altered the city's schools.
The Louisiana Legislature placed many New Orleans schools, already underperforming and troubled, in the state-run Recovery School District. Most are now charter schools. »Read Full Article

But in our eyes, they're award-worthy. Because love 'em or hate 'em, millions talked (or tweeted) about them. And along with North West and 'N Sync, "Breaking Bad" and Paula Deen breaking down, they made pop culture pop in 2013. »Read Full Article(1)

Allegheny edged NYU by three strokes after the Gators and second-place NYU tied on the final day.

Albert D. Risley Jr., 86, of Souderton, a Philadelphia-area businessman and later a fund-raiser for a business lobbying organization, died Friday, July 4, at Grandview Hospital in Sellersville from complications of heart failure.
Mr. Risley spent 25 years in the refractory and chrome-plating industries as a salesman working for E.J. Lavino & Co. in Philadelphia; a local salesman for the A.P. Green Co., based in the Midwest; and a plant manager for the Tibon Plating Co. in Norristown.
Refractory materials are substances made to withstand intense heat. For example, A.P. Green made the fireproof bricks used as liners for ovens that heat-treat industrial parts and products.

I've tried all of the electronic bark collars on the market on my Pomeranian barkers and none of them worked as well as this Dogtra. I've been using these collars for months and months now and they are fantastic. They recharge quickly and effectively and last a long time. Plus they are super easy to put on and adjust. Winning!
by Connie on 10/30/2015
We bought the Dogtra No Bark collar for our cavalier king charles spaniel. Our dog barked enough to drive everyone crazy and we could never get him to stop. After only one day wearing this collar he would bark but after getting the warning vibration he would immediately stop. He doesn't seem to mind wearing the collar but I always take the collar off at night. Worked great for us.
by Kayla on 08/04/2014
We've used many other no-bark collar brands over the years and this Dogtra YS300 model for small dogs is the bees knees. Love the fact it is re-chargable. Our miniature dog is approx 15 pounds and this collar fits perfectly. Our dog quickly learned and now we just use the "vibrate mode." You also have the ability to use "vibrate only" or "vibrate & correct." Our neighbors love it as much as we do.

I have two hounds that love to bark! These collars have really helped them to be quiet outside. I love that they can be set to vibrate. Very good training tool.

On a job you would:
You would need to keep up to date with developments in equipment and techniques. As a self-employed restorer you would also have to promote your services and deal with the administration side of running a business.
Your hours would vary, especially if you are self-employed, as this would depend on the amount of work you have.
You would usually be based at a workshop, working alone or alongside other restorers, and you may do some of your work on clients' sites. You may need to travel to clients to collect and deliver furniture.
Experienced furniture restorers can earn between £20,000 and £30,000 a year.

Your employer may also support you through training for a qualification, such as:
Joining professional bodies such as the Institute of Conservation (ICON), the British Antique Furniture Restorers' Association (BAFRA) or the Guild of Master Craftsmen is a good way to meet others working in the industry and for professional development.

As a member of ICON, you can apply to have your professional skills assessed for Professional Accreditation of Conservator-Restorers (PACR) status. With PACR status, you would be listed on the ICON register, which can be searched by those looking for reputable conservation or restoration services.

What impact will Brexit have on homelessness?
The political turmoil surrounding the Brexit referendum, change in Prime Minister and uncertainty in the Labour leadership will have many far reaching implications. However, it need not and must not divert us from our focus on preventing homelessness and working for long term solutions to it.
Click here to hear what Robert Aldridge, Homeless Action has to say about what it will mean for homelessness in Scotland.
Homeless Action Scotland's Response to Survey of Begging in Glasgow
Robert Aldridge, Homeless Action Scotland's CEO says, "A survey has been carried out in Glasgow to gather the opinions of those who come into the city centre and who feel that they are affected by begging. This survey asks many things about people affected by begging and/or beggars but in our view is asking leading questions which will skew the survey responses in favour of those that are negative about begging within Glasgow."
Although we are opposed to the questionnaire as it is written, we believe that the intention of the survey is borne out of some misguided frustration at not being able to easily help those who are begging. We are concerned that the wording of the questions and the answers it will obtain will be misused by those who think that the best way to deal with begging is through enforcement. We suggest that the greatest problem with begging is that of the individual who is being compelled to beg, rather than the social problem to be "cleansed" from a city centre.
It is also vital to recognise that begging is not only done by those who are homeless, and that not all of those who are homeless beg.

Bryan Kneale was born on the Isle of Man and attended Douglas School of Art (1946-47) and the Royal Academy Schools, London (1948-1949). Kneale was initially a figurative painter, but started making sculpture after attending a welding course in 1960.
One of the main characteristics of Kneale's sculpture is its emphasis on the way separate forms are joined together. Many of his works have a delicate, linear quality and the critic Hilary Spurling described them as 'line drawings in space.' (Spurling, p.4.) Kneale works directly with metal and in an unpublished Tate interview he described his sculpture as 'three-dimensional drawing.'
Since the mid-1980s Kneale's major source of inspiration has been the skeletons and joints of animals he studied and drew at the Natural History Museum in London. In an unpublished Tate interview he related his fascination to a sculptural interest in structure and form: 'I have always found in all my work it is the connections, the articulation of form which has been of particular importance to me, rather than the development of sculptural mass. The endless invention in nature of bony structures from minute tiny insects and animals to colossal forms of dinosaur bones … has always fascinated me.'
Kneale's sculpture of the 1990s has alternated between works based on animal structures and others which are abstract. Kneale works with spun steel and domes of aluminium which he cuts up and realigns to create a wide range of soft, curvaceous wall and floor based pieces which are then burnished, painted or patinated. Journal consists of a series of rounded, spiralling aluminium forms painted with grey cellulose paint. It is made up of two units displayed as a single entity and the interconnected, lace-like elements are welded together. The larger section on the left consists of twisting, almost flayed forms through which the wall is visible. The smaller section on the right suggests a tail and is made of a single thin shaft of aluminium with a broken, circular form at the end. Journal is just over two metres long and hangs horizontally on the wall at about head height. Its spindly, pale calligraphic forms are reminiscent of shattered skeletal remains washed up on a beach. The work was first shown at Kneale's 70th birthday show at Roche Court, Wiltshire in August 2000.

Brewers ticket giveaway in Racine called no violation of election law
In Racine, a government agency will be handing out free Milwaukee Brewers tickets on Tuesday - election day - at a community center that also doubles as a polling place.
The Wisconsin Government Accountability Board said the giveaway doesn't appear to run afoul with state elections law, the Racine Journal Times reports.
That's because the tickets distributed by the city's Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center won't be going only to those who voted.
The agency gives away Brewers tickets several times during the baseball season.

BMI View: India will continue to battle a heavy burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases. This is the result of low expenditure on healthcare, coupled with many people being on low incomes (especially in rural areas). We highlight that over the long term, lifestyle changes resulting from increases in affluence will cause a rise in non-communicable diseases due to the growth of obesity. Pharmaceutical companies can therefore leverage on the commercial opportunities presented by a shift in disease trends.
India-based Bharat Biotech has launched Typbar-TCV, a vaccine against typhoid disease for adults and infants aged six months and older. According to the firm, the current forms of typhoid vaccines are unable to provide long-term protection, or to protect children aged two years and under. Much of Bharat Biotech's research focuses on tropical communicable diseases such as chikungunya, malaria and Japanese encephalitis.
The company's focus on such infectious diseases is unsurprising, given the high burden of these conditions in the India. According to BMI's Burden of Disease Database (BoDD), disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) lost to communicable diseases in the country reached 89,722,987 in 2012, representing 42% of total DALYs lost to both communicable and non-communicable diseases. By 2030, this proportion will decline to 32%. Despite the decrease, the burdens of both communicable and non-communicable disease are still fairly balanced, which is unlike the case in developed countries where the burden of non-communicable disease is significantly higher than communicable diseases.
|High Disease Burden
|DALYs Lost To Communicable & Non-Communicable Diseases In India
Communicable Diseases
A key factor contributing to the high burden of communicable diseases is the lack of access to treatments and prevention. This lack of access can be attributed to the low per capita expenditure on healthcare (US$57.70 in 2012), which renders many people barely able to afford even very basic medical services. In addition to low expenditure, a high proportion of the population in India is still living in rural areas (68% in 2012), where healthcare facilities are often inadequate. This lowers diagnosis and detection rates of diseases in general. According to India's Annual Health Survey 2010-2011, only 62% of the children in India are considered fully immunised (against tuberculosis, three doses of DPT (diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus), polio and measles), highlighting the low vaccination rate in the country. Due to these factors, it will be difficult to eradicate communicable diseases in the country. The situation is worsened by the emergence of multi-drug resistant strains of tuberculosis and malaria.
Non-Communicable Diseases
While India continues to battle the high burden of communicable diseases, economic development has let to rising incomes and improved nutrition in certain parts of the country. Increasingly, people will adopt a more 'Westernised' sedentary lifestyle. In August 2013, Dr Anoop Misra, head of department of diabetes and metabolic diseases at Fortis, stated that approximately 22% of Indian children (aged five to 19) are obese, increasing the risk of them developing other non-communicable diseases later in life such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes and high cholesterol.
According to the International Diabetes Federation, India has approximately 63mn diabetic patients, the second-highest prevalence in Asia Pacific after China (92mn). In addition, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that by 2020, a staggering 60% of the world's cardiac patients will be found in India. In the past 50 years, rates of coronary disease among India's city dwellers have increased from 4% to 11%. As a result, the commercial potential for manufacturers of therapeutics for chronic diseases is enormous.

For anyone who still thinks Twitter is just a big waste of time, take a look at Rob Delaney.
Granted, Delaney may be helping his 674,351 followers waste their time. But through Twitter, the 35-year-old was able to build up a sizable following, one 140-character-or-less joke at a time, dating back to its first days in 2009. »Read Full Article(1)

In the context of writing a report on the native advertising technology landscape, I was looking at many publishers' native advertising products when it occurred to me:
Nobody uses the same damn name for native ads, no one calls it 'advertising', and almost no one calls it 'native'.
Here's a word cloud of all the names used for native advertising products by 20 leading publishing houses (full list of the publishers below).
Not a single name for this product was repeated publisher to publisher.
Let me repeat that:
Now, I get branding. Ford's not going to name their new car Chevy. But this isn't branding. Chevy and Ford can both agree that the Mustang and the Camaro are, in fact, cars. Ford doesn't call its cars Frisbees, and Chevy doesn't call them PersonTransporters, and think they're competing in wildly different markets.
Further, here's the hall of native ad product naming fame (or shame, if you will):
Top Prize For Most Orwellian-Named Native Ad Product: Mashable's 'BrandSpeak'
(apparently, this is a dialect invented on Madison Avenue, spoken only by a gaggle of editorial primates and consists entirely of CamelCase AdjectiveNames)
Top Prize For Advertising Not-Advertising But-Still-Advertising: Vox's 'Vox Creative'
It sits under the 'Advertising' category of the site, next to another offering called...'Advertising'. I don't even.

This is a guest post by Samantha Merlivat, a researcher serving B2C Marketing Professionals.
Programmatic advertising is revolutionizing the way online display is traded. It is set for high growth in 2015 across all of Europe and is a top item on marketers' list of tech to investigate this year. After an initial take-up limited to direct-response, brand marketers are showing growing interest in programmatic buying and dedicating larger budgets to programmatic display campaigns. They embrace the ability to leverage first-party data to reach customers online and understand that therein lays their competitive advantage in the world of online display.
At the same time, European publishers – eager to meet brand marketers' demand for more targeted, automated deals – are increasing the amount of premium inventory available through exchanges, primarily through private marketplaces. "In Europe, we see inventory and programmatic deals that are becoming more premium – even more so than in the US at moment," notes Jerome Underhill, vice president of services and operations EMEA at AppNexus. These trends will fuel the growth of online media advertising spend, which will continue to expand at an annual rate of 12% in Western Europe until 2019.

Today I heard an agency describe the content strategy that it was working for a client. At the end of the description (which revolved around how the client saw itself, and what it wanted to talk about), I said: "That sounds like an ad pitch." Awkward silence.
Right now, in meeting rooms around the world, bad ideas for content strategies are being hatched. And it's no fault of the idea-hatchers.
Sitting in a meeting room.
Thinking about the company's (or client's) management or board.
Needing to sell an idea in to sceptical constituents.
Knowing, no matter what they hatch, it'll get enough paid air cover to make it look a winner.
So they lay an almighty egg of a content strategy. An egg that, within the hothouse confines of the group that hatched it, meets only reaffirmation. But the content strategy doesn't serve customers. Not at all. And it doesn't serve the real strategic goals of the company behind it.
How do you get around this natural tendency of organizations to lay eggs?
You need a very strong counterweight to the natural tendency towards basic self-interestedness from the parties involved (client approval for the agency, peer approval for the marketer, and self-serving messages for the internal stakeholders).
Audience-centric design is the response. Taking its cues from the user-centric design discipline, audience-centric design relies on rich and direct audience observation – both their attitudes and behaviors – in order to inspire value in the eyes of the audience.
What types of observation are we talking about?

The term "selfie" entered our lexicon only recently, thanks to the ease with which they can be taken and distributed via cell phones and mobile data connections. But the practice of taking a photo of oneself is decidedly not a new phenomenon.
Last week, I did something I don't often find myself doing: I watched live TV. I landed on The Voice for a while and caught a Nissan commercial/music video featuring the contestants on the show. This reminded me of the similar ads American Idol used to produce with Ford. While my friend had a visceral reaction to the ad ("It doesn't make me want to buy a Nissan"), I spent less time extolling the virtues and necessity of branding and more time thinking about what these ads are: they're native.

[UPDATE 4 Sept: I have updated this post to the original draft, which includes specific and strong recommendations to publishers and marketers. They had been redacted, but a colleague asked "What would you DO about this?" so I saw fit to reinclude them. These are my answers; there are no easy solutions, but these are a step towards guidelines. Updates at the end of the piece, in bold.]
Publishers Are Engaged In Self-Harm, With Marketers As An Accessory
You remember when the email spam problem maxed out almost a decade ago? Or when content farms threatened to turn Google search results into useless piles of keyword-slurry? Or peak belly fat?
There should be a word for the moments when the mechanisms that aim to keep our electronic information corridors running well fail.
It's shaping up to be one of those moments for the content distribution space (and particularly its subdiscipline native advertising, or sponsored content).
You can pity the reader who arrives at an article on many publishers' websites today; I'm talking about you, Guardian and Forbes, but also you, New York Times and Washington Post. How is the reader to know if the article they've come to read is the product of a straightforward pay-to-publish play, an informal "link exchange" relationship, an "influencer" play, an independent opinion piece, or a piece of pure editorial? They can't.
For the record: The "clear labeling" commandment is a fig leaf. By the time a reader has gotten so far through the article that they're wondering why it keeps promoting a particular mindset, product, or opinion and started searching for cruft around the article, the trust in the information, the source, and the medium is lost.

Pundits' take that Facebook has "solved" mobile advertising after its home run last week hid a bigger, behind-the-scenes story:
We're finally seeing branding and direct response marketing merge in a meaningful and measurable way; Facebook is just one place where it's happening most demonstrably.
Here's important context: Facebook's quarterly earnings beat projections last Thursday, driven by the 62% of its ad revenue that comes from mobile. Also note that Facebook's only ad revenue from mobile is its in-feed ads (or native ads, or whatever you want to call them).
The in-feed ad is Facebook's holy grail. If they can manage to position ads in users' mobile feeds so that these ads: a) perform well, and b) don't kill engagement with Facebook, then they can print money against their 1 billion-plus monthly active users.
Facebook knows they'll need advertisers' and their agencies' help to achieve this. That's why I want to draw your attention to a slightly less publicized study that came out of Facebook and two partners the week prior to its quarterly earnings announcement.
Working with the social ad platform Adaptly and Refinery29 (one of a new set of savvy content-driven eCommerce outlets), Facebook showed that social advertising that merges branding and direct response outperforms direct response ads alone, by a margin of about 70%.

Two ways media's changing now, and two ways it's going to change:
The FT Digital event in London last week pulled together some of the cream of the European media world. The big conclusion they were made privy to?
The media world will soon discover exactly how many ways you can skin a cat.
The old-fashioned way for media brands to skin a cat – make the content and license rights to distribute it, or advertise next to it – doesn't work anymore as a standalone product. As a result, the business model experimentation we've seen so far in the media world is turning into business model explosion. Evidence: Half of the speakers and attendees at this media event wouldn't have been at a media event at all only three or four years ago. Facebook. Shazam. BuzzFeed. And tech VCs, for example.
Two pieces of news exemplified changes taking place right now:
One, Facebook's acquisition of Oculus (a virtual reality gaming device) forced discussion toward the value of a platform – the device is only as valuable as the community of developers creating remarkable content for it; tech and media companies alike need to take a platform approach to their assets.
Second, The New York Times' launching of NYT Now – a premium version of the Times exclusively for smartphones – showed how media companies are bending themselves backward to divorce (call it "conscious uncoupling" if you will) resources from revenue. The mobile app will take a Facebook-like approach to making money by allowing advertisers to publish sponsored content in-feed.
And two discussions painted a picture of media's future:

NewsCred scores $25 million. Tech news: "What's content marketing?"
It's no $16 billion, but the $25 million Newscred raised to expand its content marketing cloud offering is no insignificant sum. The company is moving fast to help brands win relevance with content, boasting a unique weapon (licensing for premium content with thousands of top-shelf sites). Re-code – previously the Wall Street Journal's tech team – was taken aback, asking, "What's content marketing?" Percolate's Noah Brier answered them.
Federated Media, a content marketing pioneer, backs out of content marketing

Predictions about native advertising's medium-term impact are both short-sighted and simplistic.
In 1973, the Wall Street Journal quoted a professor: "Academic politics is the most vicious…because the stakes are so low." Thereafter, the idea (that the intensity of a dispute is inversely proportional to its stakes) was named after the professor: Sayre's Law.
Sayre's law applies very well to native advertising. According to Forrester data, digital advertising dollars are today some 20% of traditional advertising dollars. Of those scarce digital ad dollars, something far less than 10% goes to anything that could be characterized as native advertising.
Perhaps that's why the dispute has been so vitriolic (at least, by advertising's standards).
The day after the New York Times launched a redesign to facilitate more native advertising, Tom Foremski, a media commentator, said: "Native advertising is the world's worst idea and I can't believe the New York Times management is so gullible and clueless in agreeing to its publication."
He joins an authoritative cast of native advertising skeptics. Another, Bob Garfield, described native advertising to the Federal Trade Commission as something akin to bat poo. Even Barclays Capital believes the practice peaked in 2012 and will shrink to a less than $500 million market by 2017.
Posted by Ryan Skinner on the B2C Marketing Professionals Blog on January 17, 2014
Forrester analysts are encouraged to "make the call" and here's a call that is sure to invite some heated disagreement (native advertising has a way of doing that).
Today my report about native advertising came out and, if I had to bottle up the recommendation of the entire report in a two-word slogan, this would be it: Worth pursuing. That's not "pour all your advertising dollars into it", "go hog wild!" or any variant on that theme. By "worth pursuing", I would say that it: a) is a very imperfect tactic, b) holds great promise, and c) requires some experience to get right.
(First of all, if you're not sure what native advertising is, quickly go here [definition] or here [examples]).
Let's start by assessing the promise of native advertising. What's so great about it?
From a marketer's perspective, the opportunity to go from a position "next to the show", "interrupting the show" or "between the shows", to "part and parcel of the show" is extraordinary. The church/state editorial wall that media outlets have trained advertisers to respect has become porous, and it's the outlets themselves who are pounding holes in it (most recently, the New York Times). That change should not be underestimated.

Pat Robertson Fears 'Little Kids Are Getting High' Because Of Marijuana Legalization
CBN's "The 700 Club" today featured a sharply negative story on Colorado's marijuana reforms, and host Pat Robertson warned that the legalization of marijuana is harming children.
While the televangelist previously said that "we should treat marijuana the way we treat beverage alcohol," now Robertson insists he never supported legalizing marijuana and only favors decriminalization.
"The little kids are getting high," Robertson said. "Do you want your little 8th grader to be stoned when he goes to school? Well, welcome to Colorado, where pot is legal."
He said that Colorado's law is encouraging "the full-scale spread of this stuff, and it is not good for people's health, it is destroying their minds and it is destroying their lungs and the addiction is pretty heavy, and it is also a gateway drug into the heavier stuff like cocaine, crack and whatever else is out there, heroine, they're sniffing glue. These kids find more ways to destroy themselves."
Robertson also reassured co-host Wendy Griffith that "I've never tried it and I hope I don't have to."
