Music Is Life.

The beauty of music is that not only is the music fantastic, the instruments themselves look mesmerizing, too.

Jazz.

Earl Klugh

Earl Clugh was recommended to me today, so I’ve been listening to his music. It’s very mellow, definitely not something I should listen to at work too much, it instantly cools my brain down and I just sit back dreamily wiggling on the musical tunes..

Meet me by the water.

I’ve recently been listening to Rachael Yamagata again. It’s been ages since I last did, but I stumbled upon her while randomly playing music at home and instantly fell in love again. One song in particular sounded lovely, and made me reminisce about easier times, where black was black, white was white and I had no clue about any of the shades of grey in-between.

Good times.

My endless love for Music..

As you might know, I’ve got an ever-growing love for music. It’s the one thing that helped me get through everything so far, and without it I honest-to-god wouldn’t know how to live. I’m always trying to find something new to further let me sink into this endless ocean of musical goodness, and last week I ended up buying a new DAC/AMP on a whim, recommended by a friend. It’s the iBasso D10 Cobra. Fancy name eh?

I already have an AMP, but missed the DAC part (A Digital-to-analog converter. I tend to call it ‘a sound card’. Yeah, I’m that technical). My work PC’s sound card is painfully bad (there’s a constant ‘wheeeeeeeeee’ sound, drives me nuts), and the VAIO could use a boost too. So I figured I’d upgrade, and sell my still pretty much brand new AMP (The Little Dot MK1, in case you were wondering).

I’ll spare you with the geek talk, and instead show some photos. Still geeky, though less so.

Using my Sennheiser HD 380 Pros to listen to some, ehm, amplified tunes.

I'm using the stock cable for now, waiting for my other one to come in this week.

Using the SendStation to get Line Out, my custom-made cable is not working with this iPod (3rd generation)

It's pretty small, making it easy to bring with me to work.

Bon Iver has never sounded this amazing..

A little over ten minutes long, and literally all over the place, but oh-so nice.

Download (via AllThingsRock), and buy via Amazon or the like.
