@Elk I made the mistake of reading a few of the comments in the NYT piece on Chad.

DNA data storage is an emerging field that leverages DNA as a platform for storing information. DNA offers significant advantages as a storage medium, including:
Long-term preservation:
Thousand’s of years as opposed to decades based on today’s current magnetic medium.
Energy and cost efficiency:
Today’s data centers consume approximately 3% of global electricity and emit around 2% of total carbon emissions. It will only increase in the future.
Unmatched data density:
DNA storage offers data density up to 100 million times greater than traditional digital storage. This means that a volume currently holding one megabyte could theoretically store up to 100 terabytes using DNA.

**How would Quantum computing affect Audiophile cable design?**
_[or 'How I learned to live with ChatGPT]_
_This is a synopsis of a little tête-à-tête I had with it. The full explanation is four pages long. I don’t know how to upload a .pdf, hence the condensed version. I can’t attest to the veracity of any of it, but it is interesting just the same._
While quantum computing may not directly alter **audiophile cable design** in the short term, the developments in **quantum material science** , **advanced simulations** , and **optimization algorithms** could lead to the creation of cables made from **superior materials** with **reduced resistance** , **improved shielding** , and **greater durability**. The quantum-inspired approach to **designing more efficient, high-performance cables** could bring about improvements that would result in better overall **signal integrity** , clearer sound, and possibly lower production costs.
However, it’s important to note that much of this potential depends on the broader availability of **quantum computing** and **materials science advancements** , which are still in their infancy. The audiophile industry would need time to adapt and integrate these technologies into mainstream cable design, but the possibilities for improvement are certainly exciting.

Room temp superconductors might be a good start 🙂

$305,000 + sales tax makes this stack just barely outside my budget parameters.
Maybe I’ll be able to find it used at some point.

If it keeps it’s value like the Rossini and Vivaldi, I won’t be buying it any time soon. I am going to listen to one next month while in Seattle. It should be interesting.

I heard one recently. But with Wilson XVXs, D’Agostino Relentless monoblocks, so I really couldn’t tell what it sounded like. Sure seemed really nice.
PS–When I suggested we compare my DSD MK1, I got the hairy eyeball.

For some strange reason, my first thoughts upon viewing this device was the first generation of the MS Zune players from waaaaay back. Big, thick and somewhat - meh. Remember those?
