Phoronix: 21-Way Open-Source AMD/Intel/NVIDIA GPU Benchmarks On Linux
If you are hoping to snag some deals on computer hardware this holiday shopping season, for helping guide you in any graphics card purchases are a fresh round of benchmarks of 21 different graphics processors from the Intel HD Graphics, AMD Radeon, and NVIDIA GeForce families tested on their respective open-source Linux graphics drivers.
I'm very happy to read this. I'm getting a used 6870 from a friend, and it seems that I won't have to use the proprietary drivers.
why is radeon hd 6450 too slow?
Well, the problem with that is that it's impossible to get a hold of a (new) 59xx/68xx/69xx card, since ATI has pulled them all off the shelf. The only cards available from the older generations are low-end cards, I guess so you have to either buy something low-end or something new and expensive. There are some shady online shops that still sell them, but I wouldn't order from those places.If you plan to buy a graphics card this holiday season for use with open-source drivers exclusively, I would highly recommend the AMD Radeon HD 6000 series graphics cards for maximum performance.
I really don't have an economical issue with buying a new shiny high-end card, but since I'm only using FOSS drivers, it would be a huge waste of money, and I would get worse performance than from an older and cheaper card.
Edit: Wait, I found one "slightly used, in good condition" in one shop! Hurrah!
I just found 3 "slightly used" HD6970 2GB ($350), 7870 OC 2GB ($230) and a HD7950 3GB DCII TOP OC ($387).. The 7870 is most bang-for-the-buck I guess? But in the foreseeable future, the 7950 is probably worth the extra 150 bucks, right? It feels like even though the 6970 is the best card according to Phoronix testing today, the 7xxx series will soon surpass it in performance.
(cross post from LLVM thread, I thought it is probably more on-topic here...)
I had the same decision to take years ago between a 5770 and a 48something that I remember having similar price tag, I went for the 5770 and while it was initially a nightmare (black screen at boot, the card almost ended up out of the window...) I'm now happy about my choice... although since then I've always suggested Intel (since Sandy Bridge) or Nvidia to friends I could end up installing Linux on their machine.
Michael, thanks for the review, it's nice to see a comparison with a good number of cards. Hopefully in the future there will be more Intel HD Graphics and AMD APUs, including Pentium HD Graphics that is barely benchmarked even on windows.
By the way, are you an affiliate of Amazon or Newegg? I just read that Amazon affiliate get 4+%, and considering that it's not necessarily limited to computer components, including family and friends, I could easy have matched a year subscription to Phoronix this year!
good test, pretty interesting
but I would like some HD 5xxx in this test
R7 270x is uselless because it's a 7870 "rebranded " (and there are allready a 78xx card in this test)
HD Graphic 4600 run well .

If they're "looking into it" from a "cost / benefit ratio" then it doesn't look good. I don't see any way they could re-coup the costs of porting a prior game, unless they find a creative way of contracting the job out (no pay, profit-sharing type of deal).
But if the company survives and they make a new game, there's probably a good chance they'll have a Linux version.
We've been beaten down for a long time, but things are changing.

by Dave Bar Add more magic to your music Cambridge Audio set the benchmark for sound quality and value when they introduced the original DacMagic digital-to-analog converter. It helped music lovers significantly upgrade the sound from their computers, game consoles, network music players, or any other device with a digital audio output. Now Cambridge has raised the bar even higher with their latest offering, the DacMagic Plus. This impressive new DAC offers more features and flexibility than its predecessor, including a dedicated headphone amp for private listening, upgraded USB input capability, and optional Bluetooth® wireless connectivity. Connect the DacMagic Plus between your music source's digital audio output and your receiver, amp, or powered speakers, and this versatile DAC will bypass the one inside your PC or player — magically transforming those cold hard zeroes and ones into warm, organic sound. You'll immediately experience greater dynamic impact and transparency, with instruments and vocals standing out from each other to occupy their own distinct space. More magic on the inside than ever The DacMagic Plus comes packed with advanced circuitry designed to extract the best possible sound from all your digital sources. Twin Wolfson DACs are used in a dual differential configuration to cancel out noise and distortion while providing excellent stereo imaging. Cambridge's sophisticated Adapted Time Filter 2 technology upsamples all incoming digital audio to a 24-bit/384kHz signal in order to resolve extremely fine detail. The end result is dramatically improved sound from every digital source in your system. Now with the asynchronous USB advantage Standard USB outputs from most computers pose a serious limitation to sound quality. That's because while you're trying to listen to music, your PC is busy performing virus scans, data backup, and other background tasks that may take priority over your tunes, causing it to alter the data rate to suit its own needs. Unfortunately, this situation results in timing errors within the digital data stream — known as "jitter" — that adversely affect sound quality. Jitter can make your music sound harsh and edgy, and smear subtle details. The newly re-designed DacMagic Plus solves this problem by reaching out to your computer through the USB interface, and instructing it to relinquish control of the data stream timing. In its place, this advanced DAC inserts its own separate, or asynchronous, clock to precisely control the timing of the data rate, reducing jitter to the vanishing point. You'll hear a stunning improvement in low-level ambient detail along with a wider, deeper soundstage. Enjoy high-resolution USB audio Along with all the sonic benefits the DacMagic Plus provides for your compressed and CD-quality music files, it also has another trick up its sleeve — it decodes high-resolution data streams with up to 24-bit/192kHz resolution through its USB connection, so you can enjoy better-than-CD audio quality. (Free USB driver download required for Windows® PCs.) If you download high-res music files from HDtracks and other audiophile sources, this DAC will ensure that you hear them in all their glory. Other audiophile features Cambridge Audio also included some neat features guaranteed to appeal to audiophiles. A choice of three digital filters lets you tweak and fine-tune the sound to match your system and room. The DacMagic Plus lets you experiment with different filter settings for each source, always remembering the last setting assigned to each one. A phase inversion switch lets you correct for out-of-phase recordings or amplifiers that invert phase. Cambridge even included an incoming sample rate indicator which shows the original source quality. The DacMagic Plus offers multiple digital inputs for all of your sound sources plus RCA and pro-quality XLR outputs. Plenty of connections for your gear DacMagic Plus lets you connect multiple digital source components to your home audio or desktop system: two coaxial digital inputs: ideal for connecting a CD or DVD player, Logitech Squeezebox™ Touch, Sonos® Connect, or any other digital audio component with coax out, and taking advantage of the DacMagic Plus's high-performance processor for better sound. two optical digital inputs: ready to take on almost any HDTV, set-top box, game console, or other digital sources with optical digital output, and feed a high-quality audio signal into your stereo system. Type B USB jack feeds digital audio from your computer into the DacMagic Plus's onboard digital-to-analog converter, bypassing your computer's sound card to yield much clearer sound with stored music files and Internet radio. A pair of gold-plated RCA outputs lets you connect the DacMagic Plus to your home audio system's receiver or integrated amp. Or feed a set of powered speakers for a high-end, compact desktop stereo. The built-in volume control even lets you connect a power amp directly, using the DacMagic Plus as a preamp. Cambridge Audio also included a pair of balanced XLR outputs for an even higher-quality hookup with compatible audio components. A full-size headphone jack lets you take advantage of the DAC's built-in headphone amp for private listening. Optical and coaxial digital outputs allow you to bypass the DacMagic Plus when you're playing surround sound from a Blu-ray or DVD player, so you don't have to change cable connections when you switch from music to movies. Use the BT100 Bluetooth audio adapter for wireless digital transmission to the DacMagicPlus. High-quality sound with wireless convenience You can also go cable-free with Cambridge Audio's optional plug-and-play BT100 Bluetooth® wireless audio receiver. This receiver lets you stream music wirelessly from your iPhone®, Android™ smartphone, iPad®, tablet, laptop or any device that supports Bluetooth audio. Best of all, if your smartphone, tablet, or computer supports high-end CSR aptX® Bluetooth audio, you can stream near CD-quality music from your device to the DacMagic Plus.

Pleased with the DacMagic plus Written By gone03, Fort Worth, Texas on Monday, March 30, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have 4 DACs/Headphone Amps. First thing to get clear is that no component will produce great sound if the source material is poor or if other external factors interfere. My primary use of the DacMagic Plus is for streaming music from a website that charges a monthly fee. The provider says that they can provide better than CD quality. When the specific album meets a recording bitrate of 320kbps, this DAC will produce a discernible and improved difference without adding any of its own coloration of the music that I can hear. I do, however, have an issue with added line noise caused by the chain of connections from the wall outlet all the way through to my powered monitors and headphones. The power supply is external with the DacMagic Plus and the power cord to the DacMagic Plus is not shielded in any discernible way. I have high quality audio line conditioners as well as all my components and cables are of high quality. I had to go through a number of physical configurations of placement of the power supple and the DacMagic Plus before I could remove the line noise. I have not had this issue with any other of my DACs or audio components. The DacMagic Plus works as advertised but the quality of music that I stream sounds cleaner and more defined with my less expensive Emotiva XDA-2 or my Geek Out 1000 (when I use headphones). Pros: Good form factor Does what it says it will do Looks nice Cons: Could have better shielding of the power supply and DACs internal components. Unexceptional quality of D to A conversion given the price
Great DAC Written By cergun, Dallas, TX on Friday, March 06, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a great DAC. I really enjoy listening to music with the DAC. Currently using with my Laptop only and Beyerdynamic 880 Pro and Sony MDR 7506. With the BDs it is slightly on the bright side at highs but with Sony lows sound much more punchy. I am looking forward to connecting my ipod 7 to that and also connecting it to a proper amp. Pros: Sound quality, build quality Cons: none
Excellent! Written By blockhead, California on Wednesday, February 11, 2015 Great DAC and headphone amp, all in one. Hard to match the value, in my opinion. Running digital output from my iMac to DAC to Sonos Connect Amp, to Pioneer BS21-lr speakers. The sound is spacious, crisp and clear. Very happy with my purchase, and the great Crutchfield service! Pros: Great value, excellent sound Cons: Wish volume control was better.
A Good DAC Written By Dunamis, Hawaii on Tuesday, January 20, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a good DAC, a little confusing to setup if your not a pro, and I'm not. The sound is warm and rich from my A5 speakers. Pros: Good Sound Cons: Setup
Wow! Outstanding Quality now on my Sonos Connect. Written By Keith M, Orlando, FL on Friday, September 12, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought the DacMagic Plus after much research about adding a DAC to improve the sound quality of my Sonos Connect. I have an Onkyo TX-NR-818 amp with Klipsch reference series tower dual 8" speakers. I had been using a pair of Sony CDP-CX355, 300 disc CD players connected to the amp via analog. (Must use analog, Onkyo doesn't support digital connection on Zone 2.) The sound was great. Later added Sonos system to the house. I ripped my CD's into iTunes using lossless setting. I connected a Sonos Connect to my amps digital input. It sounded "muddy". I could never get the clarity that I had when the CD players were connected to the amp. I switched from the digital input on the amp (using the internal Onkyo DAC) to the analog inputs (using the Sonos DAC). No difference, still "muddy". Now I have the DacMagic Plus after the Sonos Connect, using coaxial digital input (Coaxial input handles up to 192k data rate, while the optical input only handles up to 92k.) Of course Sonos can only output a 44k data rate from either port. I understand that the data rate 2x rule says that a 44k rate will still produce a perfect sinewave at 22khz. That is higher than I can hear. I am not using the pre-amp function in the DacMagic. I was told the DacMagic Plus may only make a small difference, if at all. Wow is all I can say. No kidding, it is a night and day difference. Superb clarity and depth to the sound. You can now pick out each instrument. It also spread out the sound stage. Awesome Sound! Pros: Amazing sound processing. High quality DAC. Cons: None.
DacMagic Plus Written By Chavpad, Eugene, Or on Friday, August 22, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I noticed an immdediate difference in sound quality when playing mp3s through a laptop. Even bigger difference when playing FLAC files. Very satisfied with purchase. Pros: excellent sound quality when fed a quality signal attractive Cons: No remote I found the ASIO driver set-up more work than I was hoping for, thought the CA support site provided useful support I wish it would remember the previous sessions volume setting so I wouldn't have to adjust it everytime Would like a complete manual included in the box
Ok But Written By Mark S, Pac NW on Sunday, June 08, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sound quality is excellent , the ergonomics stink. The one knob being the volume, one reason i bought it, I my add is hard to turn. in this world of super spinning volume knobs this one is actually hard to turn. Pros: Great audio Cons: Knob is difficult to turn
Excellent product I love it Written By erniecolorado1, Aurora, CO on Tuesday, May 13, 2014 The purpose of a DAC in the first place is to bypass the sound card or chip on your motherboard and get much higher quality sound. And you should ALWAYS use the optical (Toslink) digital output on the DAC to your motherboard rear optical digital output connection to get the 192 KHz DAC conversion and higher quality sound. The USB connection will only give you 96 KHz maximum. And use a decent cable as well for that connection. I hooked up JBL studio monitors to the preferred XLR connections and was blown away by movies and music even though it is not 5.1 surround sound, It was many times better than what I had with the motherboard sound. To those who say it will not make MP3 files better, that is generally true. First of all, MP3 is the oldest music file compression, and has been beaten by AAC and the WMA formats. Windows Media Audio sound, even on paper, is better than AAC, used by Apple iTunes and Divx, neither of which I ever buy or use. I love Xbox Music and still use the Microsoft Zune as well for the 10 dollar a month unlimited music transfers, although you can also stream the music for free from the cloud as well. Windows 8.1 (64-bit) is a much better operating system than the Apple computer's operating system. And more universal for many things to. You will not be disappointed with this DAC! It is awesome! Pros: Pure, pristine and robust sound. Good XLR and optical digital connections. High quality! Cons: Nothing I can see or hear.
Dac magic plus Written By AlanD, Huntington Beach, Ca on Sunday, May 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After working with some engineers recently I was shown the difference between hi-res music and standard MP3 downloads. I was blown away by the difference. That said I have just embarked on a quest to upgrade my audio components to deliver a better listening experience. The first purchase in this endeavor is the Cambridge Audio Dacmagic plus. Out of the box the component has the quality feel and substance that gives one the feeling of joining the audiophile elite. Connecting to my computer was so simple and was working in no time at all. At this stage I am using headphones only, however, the difference is amazing. I am now shopping music sites to build a library of hi-res tracks. Crutchfield is such an impressive company as within a short time of making my purchase online I was called by the digital audio specialist offering any assistance if I needed it. Try finding a knowledgeable assistant at the big box stores much less this level of service. Pros: Tactile quality, improved audio, Crutchfield service and support (priceless). Cons: A little pricey-but that's the price of membership!
New life for digital files Written By Kevin, Medina, WA on Sunday, April 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Paired with a computer,Cambridge Audios' Dac Magic plus will breath new life into formally flat, lifeless audio files. If your looking for a compact, capable unit to convert your digital music, (ones and zeros), into something more "musical", this is it! I am using it as a preamp between my Mac mini,(via usb) and a separate amplifier to power a whole house audio system. With two sets of audio outs, (balanced XLR and RCA, I can even signal a powered sub- sounds sweet!
It's a class-compliant USB soundcard! Written By JP, Cincinnati on Sunday, March 30, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm an audio engineer and I have this hooked up to my DAW via USB, no drivers installed. I'm currently using it as a monitor controller, too, while I shop for a new one. It sounds fantastic as a good DAC should. The only thing I'm really leery about is I don't understand how its audio pot works. In short, I'm afraid that it's throwing away bits as I turn the volume down. To mitigate this, I've calibrated the output so it's at normal mixing level when maxed out. If you're going to be using it in conjunction with a separate monitor controller, this won't matter. Pros: It's a super-high-quality class-compliant (no drivers) USB Sound Card. Sensing headphone jack has separate volume level (set via same volume pot). Cons: The following prevent it from being truly "professional:" No VU meters, no dim, no stepped knob, no reference points on the volume knob for setting different mixing levels. BUT, this is what a professional monitor controller is for. The only thing I wish it had was separate control for the headphone jack/speaker muting instead of being auto-sensing as I prefer to leave my headphones plugged-in all the time.
Converts bits to pulses Written By Justin-NYC, Stamford CT on Friday, December 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This device is generally highly rated by people who are probably more informed than me. In my experience, it is easy to setup and easy to use. It is a little unclear why certain settings are specified in the manual for setup with a Mac (for example, the MIDI audio settings) and the explanations I received from Cambridge through their Q&A forum were initially thin but eventually were more adequate when I pushed. btw, Cambridge Audio's registration site conveys login credentials (username and password) in-the-clear through email back to the user, which is a big security no-no. While this is not necessarily product related, I thought to include it here because to my knowledge this practice has not been corrected. Anyway, back to the product, overall I am satisfied with the quality of the product. As to the audio, I believe it is superior to both the internal DAC on my Mac and the external DAC inside my Yamaha amplifier which is powering a pair of Martin Logan Electrostatic speakers. I have done very unscientific AB testing and believe I hear a difference. Ken Rockwell (you can google his review), who has done far more scientific comparison, says this DAC is better than the much more expensive studio reference DAC. My Crutchfield advisor said I'm getting a "Ferrari" compared to the still very good quality DAC in my Yamaha. I kept the product and use it whenever I want to listen to music at the best possibly quality. Pros: good looking, simple and effective; easily sets up with a Mac Cons: some people done like the digital volume control but I have that disabled so it doesn't matter to me. Crutchfield response on Tuesday, December 17, 2013 We have passed your concerns about the login credentials to Cambridge.
Great, but needs more bass Written By West, Knoxville, TN on Monday, December 09, 2013 In reality it is between 4/5 stars. Really great high range and mid range response. Bass is great, really clean but relative to the mid range response the bass level is low. May require some additional tuning to get a stronger bass response. I use two full range towers in my setup, both have 8 inch woofers which put out plenty of bass on most sources. This DAC is brings the mids and highs alive, the bass is there and very detailed, but should be stronger. Pros: Awesome flexibility Great detailed sound Can help average speakers and average sources (having digital output) sound their best Output is not dry or sterile; very vibrant overall Cons: Needs more bass... Is a bit large for a DAC
I'm keeping it! Written By SeanL, Auburn, KY on Thursday, June 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I guess "the chase" is on. This is was next on my list to improve the overall sound quality coming from my HTPC to my system. I was using an internal sound card with DACS, but it seemed like something was not right.. as my Oppo 95 would deliver better sound than the PC. But not anymore... all my digital media (especially 320kps or higher) sounds fantastic. Using the USB connect...all the digital harshness is gone and no choppiness at all. Cambridge recommends that you use a ASIO Driver that overrides the Microsoft sound processing. Don't use the Foobar Asio Driver that Cambridge recommends (loaded with spywear)... but there is a few free ones available. I am using one from Fender (Universal Driver). The DacMagic has met my expectations. Crutchfield has always been courteous... they called me after my online order just to verify my needs and consult me into buying a higher performance USB cable (which I bought, but probably didn't need). Give the unit a try... I doubt you'll send it back. Pros: Easy install, clean sound, Cons: iPad/iPod support is NOT standard. Additional accessories are required. Takes time finding ASIO drivers.
Good, if used correctly Written By Anonymous, Fresno, CA on Tuesday, May 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I want to start by saying that this review ONLY applies to the use of this DAC with a stand alone internet radio. If you intend to use this DAC with high quality digital music - not Mp3 music - then ignore this review. Most everyone who use this DAC correctly are more then happy with it. I have an internet radio that has 10 presets, one button to push, numbers 1-10. My vision problem makes this a must and everything else is secondary to me. Having said this I will continue by explaining I was hopeful this Cambridge DAC Magic Plus might somewhat improve the quality of the Mp3 music I listen to on my internet radio. But, it did not. And that's ok because I knew this might turn out to be so. I gave the DAC over 60 hours of break in time, tried the different settings, and tried many stations that sound very good even though being Mp3's. Just was no improvement. Not worse, but not better. I then called directly to Cambridge and explained exactly how I was using the DAC and what the results were. And he explained that with Mp3's I would not hear any improvements because the DAC just does not have anything to work with from the lower quality of Mp3's. Case closed, won't work for my needs. But again I have to say that with all this DAC has within it, surely it will work for you. Bottom line, if your trying to improve your internet radio sound, look for better speakers.
Perfect for my application Written By srr2, Lehigh Valley, PA on Saturday, April 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'll eschew the "silky bass", "creamy midrange", and "deep well-placed soundstage" kind of reviewer-drivel. To be honest, far as I'm concerned a cable is a cable, etc. I'm no "audiophile" and proud of it. I own gear to listen to music, not to listen to gear. So okay, what about the DMP, then. For my purposes -- listening to music -- it's perfect. To put it simply, it's just not *there*. What you hear is pretty close to what the audio engineer intended, within the limits of tapes, digitizing, decoding and your amps/speakers. It's not going to make a silk sow out of an ear purse, but then, it's not going to degrade your carefully-ripped flac files either. I should highlight the attributes that steered me to the DMP: 1) it has floating differential (XLR) outputs, 2) optical inputs, and 3) a volume control. Many competing DACs have neither. The reason for #3 is because with WASAPI or ASIO there's no volume control in the computer, and because the output of the DMP goes directly to the amps, there's no preamp either. The reason for #1 is because of the long run (35') between source and destination, and the electrically noisy environment in my home, which #2 further serves to mitigate. Connected properly, the DMP floats optically with respect to the computer, so there's 0 possibility for any circulating noise currents in signal or ground. The upshot -- the entire audio system is DEAD QUIET. You can literally not discern a difference between OFF and ON. Pros: Two sp/dif optical inputs. Fully floating differential outputs. Volume knob (whose rotation v. output level seems appropriate to me) w/push-to-mute. Reducing volume has no discernible effect on quality of signal. Attractive design. Useful and unobtrusive annunciator lights. Dead silence when not playing anything. Excellent immunity to power line noise. Cons: 1) That stupid WALL-WART power supply. If CA screwed up one thing, it's this horrible, cheap, likely unreliable power supply, with its exceedingly flaky "universal" plug adapter. I HATE wall warts. At this price point, and for what this equipment costs, it should have had a proper internal power supply and conventional robust line cord. (and no, I do NOT want to spend $2000 on a line cord to connect the wall-wart to deepen the soundstage) 2) Poor sp/dif support compared to USB.
DacMagic Plus Written By Kenneth K, New York, NY on Monday, April 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I use an iPod as my primary input source (Losless). The external DAC made a huge difference Pros: Sound quality, multiple inputs and outputs, ease of setup Cons: No remote control. Makes switching inputs a manual task that I cannot program into my universal remote. I
It Works Like Magic Written By Danny B, Detroit, MI on Tuesday, January 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) If your a music lover, there is no denying the ease of use that a media player can bring to a music collection, and if your like me, you've made the leap to hooking up your PC to your stereo system. Now there's only one problem with his set up. The audio coming out of your PC isn't quite the fidelity you may be used to. That's what makes a DAC a must. Chances are you already know this, so I'll cut rite to the chase. I was going to replace the sound card in my PC for improved audio when I came across these DAC's. I liked the fact that they were half PC card/half audio component so there's no fooling around with the back of my computer. So I did my research and it came down to this one for two reasons: One, its made by a reputable audio company and two, its exterior is metal and not all plasticky like some of the other DAC's. Having said all that, here's the meat and potatoes of it; this thing ROCKS! Everything now sounds crystal clear. It was expensive, yes, and this being my first DAC I can't coment on how the other, lower cost DAC's sound, but if they're even half as good as this they would be worth it. One thing I should mention, the set up process for the software settings and plug-ins and so forth are a bit tricky. But if enjoy this type of challenge and aren't prone to pulling your hair out over it, it will be a thrilling exercise. Just remember to read everything, try every setting, and restart your computer if something doesn't seem to be working. Pros: Solid construction. Cons: Tricky to set up at first. No remote control.
Does't Work with Bluetooth BT100 Written By Brokerbiker, Boerne TX on Saturday, March 10, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased the Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus from Crutchfield and have been very pleased with the sound quality output, as it greatly enhances content played through it. I subsequently purchased the Bluetooth BT100 unit from a local dealer in Austin and it was very easy to connect and pair with various Bluetooth enabled devices such as my iPad, iPhone, iMac. The unit did identify a problem with the DacMagic itself, as all content played through the Bluetooth unit, will only output through the headphone port. All content input through USB and Audio, works fine through either output, but the Bluetooth is a problem. When I contacted support at Cambridge, I was not very pleased with their recommendations to disconnect both devices and go to my dealer to further troubleshoot them. Obviously, I cannot come to Crutchfield and Austin is 90 miles away. My Austin dealer (Audio Systems) is a great friend, and he suggested I ship the units to him for testing. I am convinced the problem is with the DacMagic, and feel Cambridge is giving me the run-around, which shouldn't be the case with a unit of this price. I am a Wealth Advisor, and must deliver exceptional customer service, which I do not believe I have received from Cambridge. I am certainly reluctant to recommend this unit, based on this experience. Pros: Great sound Cons: Very poor Customer Service/relations from Cambridge on a defective unit
Cambridge DAC Magic Plus Written By Bill S, Pueblo, CO on Tuesday, February 07, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have had the original Dac Magic for the past three years. When I got the new product, I hooked it up, right out of the box. Listening to both side by side, I heard a great sound from the old one but was impressed by the greater detail, staging, depth, and crispness of the sound from the new unit. I was very impressed with Cambridge before but I'm blown away with this new unit. Several friends and I have more expensive DAC's but this one will keep up with $2000.00 units easily. Pros: 24/384 output, headphone amp built in, will take up to 24/192 through usb or spdif. It has three different filters like old unit. Cons: Would like defeatable upsampling, and filters,
Finely tuned sound for finely tuned ears Written by Ralph Graves, Staff Writer - Creative, on 4/16/2012 11:04:00 AM I had a chance to try the DacMagic Plus out in our Labs with some different speaker and headphone options (as well as a variety of sound sources). If you're the type of person who prefers uncompressed audio files to lossy formats, then the higher level of performance that the DacMagic Plus offers is probably for you. The DacMagic Plus gave me some control over the incoming signal. I could change the phase, as well as select the filters, for example. And the unit displayed the sampling rate (which can be good to know). Control is great, but results are better - and they were results I could hear. I deliberately played some 128kbps MP3s, and they didn't sound too bad. But it was the high-resolution audio tracks that the DacMagic was made for. I listened to some HD Tracks, some WAV files, and some Apple Lossless tracks, and heard an extraordinary amount of detail in all three. Plus, the sound didn't seem to have any of the slight digital harshness that I often perceive when I listen to my digital music library.

I hope we come out and just fist the crap out of Tulsa, elbow deep. I want freaking tears and shear agony for them Goldy Canes. I want a bowl win dammit and I want it to be a blow out. I want our 3rd string in before the 4th Quarter. I want total domination in every damn aspect of the game. We win 63-6.
When Prepared, Fear No One.
This is my first bowl game and I started to lose my voice 2 days ago... totally gone today. Really hope I have a little for the game :-(
We are going to roll over Tulsa in this game. I have a good feeling about it. Sammy Rich with 3 TD's, Nealy with a breakout game and Klein with pick 6 to finish off a fantastic cyclone career. Gimmie Cyclones ISU 35 Tulsa 21

So jacked about this game...can't sleep at all. We are on the threshold of huge things and playing well today could really move things forward to where we start seeing things we have never seen in ISU Football. A big win today would create the biggest amount of buzz going into spring than has ever been around the program...IMO. Ladies and Gentlemen today could very well be a landmark day in the history of Cyclone Football.

What are the rules of participation?
In order to participate in the E-Retina listserv, you will be directed online to agree to the terms and conditions outlined in the E-Retina Listserv Disclaimer [PDF 276K]
Why can't we discuss salaries, fees or collective action on the listservs?
AAOE members participating in the listserv are doing so as members of an organization of competitors in the eyes of federal and state enforcers of antitrust laws. While one ophthalmologist can ask a colleague what she or he pays staff or charges to perform Lasik, these issues cannot be discussed in a forum sponsored by a professional society. The government views such pricing and other economic discussions as a way that competitors can fix prices, supply costs, salaries, and other economic measures in a noncompetitive manor that violates state and federal antitrust laws.
Participants can discuss Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement and codes, as these are the same for everyone. Discussions about concerted action towards private payers, insurance contract clauses and private payer reimbursement cannot be discussed. These rules protect AAOE, its members and the Academy from costly legal actions and potential fines by the Federal Trade Commission or the Department of Justice. For this reason, a poster who violates the rules will be barred from participating in the AAOE listserves and may, at the sole discretion of the AAOE Board of Directors, lose his or her membership in AAOE.
- Be forthcoming in your messages about any potential financial conflict of interest.
- If you repost something from another source, it is only ethical and helpful to give credit to the original poster along with the full citation. If you forward something from E-Retina, make sure you give credit to the original poster and/or source.
- DO NOT post any copyrighted material to the E-Retina list unless you have acquired permission to do so from the holder(s) of the copyright.
- Keep your messages short to conserve bandwidth and encourage others to read your messages; lengthy messages are not as inviting to readers as shorter messages.
- Remember, no emphasis or emotional tone gets transmitted through e-mail. Jokes and sarcastic comments may be insensitive to others. Any criticism, personal attacks, and use of profanity are unwanted and will result in your removal from E-Retina. You are responsible for what you post.
- Use a descriptive subject line. Avoid subject lines such as "question" or "coding question". Many people decide whether they want to read a message based on the content of the subject line and vague subject lines make it difficult to search the archive.
Am I being protected from viruses?
The listservs allows you to send attachments via e-mail. Every attachment sent to the list is screened by anti-virus software before you receive it. However, this does not mean you cannot get a virus from someone subscribed to the list. If a subscriber is infected with a virus and responds directly back to you with an attachment instead of to the list, you may be infected. While we take every precaution to prevent viruses from spreading by way of the list, viruses will continue find ways to adapt and attempt to outsmart screening software. We will make every effort to continuously upgrade our virus protection software.
Always follow these rules when dealing with e-mail
- Do not open attachments or click on links to websites embedded in the body of mail from people you do not know.
- Do not open attachments with the following file extensions: .exe, .visa, .vba, .pff or any other unfamiliar extensions. You can respond to an individual who sends you an unexpected attachment to verify that it is safe to open.
- If you run into difficulties, contact the listserv administrator firstname.lastname@example.com.
Also, note our virus protection software may at times incorrectly identify a harmless attachment as a virus and strip it from the e-mail before it is sent to the list. If you send an attachment to the list and this occurs, notify email@example.com.
If you have any questions about E-Retina, contact the list administrator.

Phoronix: Testing Out The SSD Mode In Btrfs
One month ago we provided benchmarks of the Btrfs file-system and found that while it contained many features to make it a next-generation Linux file-system, its disk performance was rather displeasing. We had found the EXT4 file-system ran faster in a number of the tests and even EXT3 and XFS had their own advantages. Besides offering features like snapshots and online defragmentation, Btrfs has a mode that is optimized for solid-state drives. Will the Btrfs SSD mode cause this new Oracle-sponsored file-system to be the best for non-rotating media? We have benchmarks in this article, but the results may not be what one would expect.

Last edited by Louise; 05-29-2009 at 09:53 PM. Reason: "does" should have been "doesn't".
isn't the point of SSD mode less wear levelling? ie hurting the drive less? maybe that should be tested, too.
The only proper way to test that is to buy a couple dozen, and have them continuously writing for months... Bit expensive, and by the time you're done, btrfs will have been updated, so you can start again...
Anyways, btrfs is still very new, and not speed-optimized at all. And the ssd-mode is more geared towards ssd's with long write-latencies.
Furthermore, the trim-function of the vertex is not yet functional in linux (afaik), and I expect phoronix of running the tests after each other without bothering to "reset" the drive... That would make the results pretty much worthless...
How about going in one level deeper? As in matching filesystem clusters to the the physical flash cells. As with RAID stripes, it can be a performance penalty if the cluster is divided between two stripes/cells.
How much of an impact does this make? How do different chosen clustersizes affect different tasks at hand.
This would make an interesting read since making sure the filesystem matches the underlaying physical storage is non-trivial on Linux with weird and poorly documented offset behaviour when it comes to partitions and filesystems.
Would GPT help instead of having to battle with the ancient DOS scheme? Is the newer Windows way of making the first 4MB (or so) of a disk off-limits for partitions actually a cheap and effective way to get around this?
So far I've seen no mention of this on Phoronix. Also when SSDs become fast, it would be nice to see how many old fashioned disks you have to RAID0 and RAID5/6 to match the speed. The optimization of this would also include this aspect.
Ext4 = featureless 1990's technology filesystem (an upgrade from the 1980's style ext3)
Btrfs = relatively contemporary filesystem capable of handling enterprise needs.
Shoot... DOS/FAT might be faster in some benchmarks... I really think testing something that is half baked and has 4 times the features to something "old and mature" (feature wise) is a mistake.
It's almost like somebody is trying to make last minute sales of Vista^H^H^H^H^Hext4 before btrfs comes out.
I think Phoronix has missed the point of SSD mode
In general these "articles" showing pages of graphs are getting a little boring
Same with the tests of different kernels from Ubuntu PPA repositories, best way to test different versions of a kernel is to use vanilla kernel.org ones with as many settings as possible kept the same not Ubuntu ones.
Plus using git it would be possible to find the exact commits of kernel performance regressions and raise bugs - which is a lot more productive than rc7 sucks compared to rc6
In fact I'd quite happily do this, as it's probably more enjoyable than reading these 10 page graph fests that don't really tell us very much
personally i don't think we'll see the true performance of SSD's until they become common place enough that the entire communication chain is optimized for them...
*BIOS - reporting cylinders/sectors/tracks isn't really applicable, rather sectors and block layout of important, OS can probably get around this anyway
*File System - any system that attempts contiguous layout and failing that, attempts to keep data on adjacent cylinder in the same track or on adjacent tracks, this could result in data all over the place on an SSD.
*SSD firmware - I have to assume they are currently optimizing the firmware to assume the file system is attempting to keep data on adjacent cylinders/tracks. If this is true, then a file system optimized for SSD's could in fact create more fragmented data as its not acting as the firmware would expect.
*I/O Scheduler - CFQ reorders commands when it thinks they are near each other in cylinder/track to reduce head movement, this is likely sub optimal for an SSD as it wants to write to "close" blocks.
of course this entire signal processing chain then needs to interact with the wear leveling algorithm which again adds a layer of misdirection when it comes to the final data location.
ultimately i think we'll see this chain starting to look much more like a memory allocator and the final layout only being determined by the SSD.
from what i've read on the linux magazine this month edition in brazil it's state the buy of sun enterprise by oracle, unless i miss read. But my worries are what will happen to (open)solaris and its technologies? what will happen to MySQL and OpenOffice? will oracle maintain everything as Sun did or will oracle kill those open source projects?
EDIT: Sorry being of topic!
Thanks for running these, just a note that the mount -o ssd option has changed quite a bit during 2.6.30-rc, so updating the kernel should give different results.
At least on my ssd, it does improve writeback speeds quite a bit

John Pence
About The Host:
For John Pence, the road to becoming the triple threat of chef/proprietor/entrepreneur really began at the age of 20. Growing up in Chester, New Jersey with six siblings and a mother that overcooked most meals, cooking for a living was just not something that initially came to his mind while watching his father barbecuing. While watching the chef one day, John discovered that he had an interest and an aptitude for cooking. The chef quickly recognized the young man's talents and was soon mentoring him. With John's excitement and enthusiasm for cooking growing daily, his mentor encouraged John to apply to the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) at Hyde Park where he was accepted into the two-year program in 1982. There was nothing that John encountered during his two years at the CIA that he didn't love, especially meeting his future wife, Caprial.
When John graduated in 1984, while interviewing for positions in Seattle where he would soon join Caprial. His first position in Seattle was at the French bistro, Crepe de Paris, before being wooed away by Fullers, at that time, Seattle's most prestigious restaurant. After his son's second birthday, an opportunity presented itself to return to Fullers as co-chef with Caprial. Her new celebrity status meant that she was frequently traveling and the restaurant needed another top chef to maintain its consistency. For the next year, the young couple worked side-by-side, sharing the responsibilities of running the kitchen.
In late 1991, John and Caprial, who was pregnant with their daughter Savannah, started looking for a space to launch their own restaurant and simplify their lives. Wanting to move closer to family, he investigated a small bistro in Portland that was up for sale and the Pences took the plunge. As a guiding force in the conception of Caprial's Bistro, John used his business and culinary acumen to oversee the evolution of the restaurant. Focusing on Pacific Northwest seasonal produce, seafood, poultry and game, the multiethnic menu includes many dishes influenced by classic French, Mediterranean and Pacific Rim cooking. From its simple origins in 1992, John has masterminded the bistro's development with his vision and many talents. In 1998, he oversaw the restaurant's expansion to its present size; the staff has grown from eight to 50 employees.
John's business philosophy is based on his own life experience: "create your own opportunities; provide a great atmosphere for people to work and be part of it yourself." With a thriving business, a wonderful family and home, John is enjoying the fruits of his work while giving back to his employees, customers and his community.

Squirrel - Wildlife
Fox squirrels (Sciurus niger vulpinus) are 18 to 25 inches long (nose to tail) and weigh 1 to 3 lbs. Body color is gray with slight color variation and light underbelly, and large bushy grayish-white tail. Fox squirrels are larger than gray squirrels.
Gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis pennsylvanicus) are 12 to 21 inches long (nose to tail) and weigh 1 to 1.5 lbs. Body color ranges from grayish to yellow-brown with light underbelly, chin and hind legs, and bushy white-edged tail.
Squirrels have 1 to 2 litters a year and 2 to 4 young per litter. Squirrels are diurnal with peak activity at dawn and late afternoon.
Squirrels do not hibernate but will become inactive during extreme winter weather using leaf nests and tree cavities for protection. Squirrels dig shallow holes to store nuts (up to 1000 a year) and other foods for winter food. Squirrels will establish themselves in new trees when the local food supply is exhausted.
Squirrels are primarily herbivores. A modified diet can include nuts, seeds, fruits, plants, insects, eggs and baby birds.
Squirrels inhabit dense forest, open woodlands and grasslands, rural, suburban and urban areas of Fairfax County.

- Clerk: Arapahoe County saw long lines to vote, but not as long as people thought
- Colorado returns all incumbents to Congress
BOULDER — Back in August, University of Colorado political science professors Kenneth Bickers and Michael Berry won national attention for projecting an Electoral College romp for Republican Mitt Romney based on a model relying heavily on state-level economic factors such as unemployment data and changes in personal income.
The academics later updated their estimates based on new data and gave the Republican a bigger edge — 330 Electoral College votes to President Barack Obama's 208. Bickers appeared on Fox's "The O'Reilly Factor" and conservative talk radio.
On Wednesday — after the professors incorrectly forecast that Romney would sweep the battleground states that ended up carrying Obama to victory — it was time for a reckoning.

"The model was wrong," Bickers said. "Sure, that's a mea culpa I suppose. I've argued everywhere from the beginning that polls and prediction models don't vote. This gives you the historical conditions, provides a kind of baseline for information in interpreting what might happen. In that sense, I still think it's a useful tool. It didn't get the correct outcome, but it does give you the historical context."
The only battleground state correctly forecast was one of the most Republican to begin with: North Carolina.
The model erred, Bickers said, in assuming that a campaign could not shake off such challenging economic factors. One thing lacking, he said, is a good way to model campaign impact.

Belegost was one of two great Dwarven cities in the Ered Luin. Its name in Westron was Mickleburg.
Belegost lay the central part of the Ered Luin, and was home to the Dwarven House known as the Broadbeams. Its name in Khuzdul was Gabilgathol probably meaning "great fortess". Belegost in Sindarin translates as "Great Fortress" as well. During the mid First Age its king until Nírnaeth Arnoediad was Azaghâl.
The Dwarves of Belegost were friends to the Sindar and later also the Ñoldor] of Beleriand. They did not join the Dwarves of Nogrod in the Sack of Doriath, and actually attempted to dissuade their fellow Dwarves from it.
Unlike Nogrod to the South, Belegost may have partly survived after the War of Wrath, although it was recorded as having been 'ruined' at that time: many Dwarves of Belegost joined Durin's folk in Khazad-dûm 60 years after the war, but there were always Dwarves on the Eastern side of the mountains.
Belegost (beleg + ost) is a Sindarin translation of the original Dwarvish name Gabilgathol and all mean "Great City".
Unlike other names of the Silmarillion, the texts gives us also an English rendering, which is possibly from Westron: Mickleburg. Mickle is a root meanng "big"; see also Michel Delving.
