《N O M O》
An Italian friend teaching in one famous college in Beijing just told me he is leaving:

(voice messages transcipt)
Yeah my brother I’ve keeped my door open for China I was trying to find a good way with the XXX to keep my Visa alive and come in China every seven months for some of the couple something.

Anyway my brother I have to be honest that we miss all of you because the people the food the culture in this country is such something that uh it's an unbelievable and ununforgettable experience but about the politics I'm sorry for you guys but it's a nightmare I don't wanna in this nightmare.

That is completely out of this world so it was like this before for sure, always a strong government but now I cannot accept all these controll so no no its not its not for me.

I can say it again that Spatial Audio is the future: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/made-for-spatial/pl.154af9931b214278a64274c410046e69
用 USB DAC + 7506 听了 Apple Music in Dolby Atmos,一些混音做得好的曲目效果很让我惊讶。特意了解了一下 Dolby Atmos 「全景声」技术,相比于传统的环绕声,它增加了天空的声道(声音空间的 Z 轴),同时从 channel-oriented 转为 object-oriented(某个 channel 可能有多个作为 object 的扬声器,比如有多排座椅的商业影院)。

用立体声设备回放,okay,但更好的方式:
1) 是 Apple TV 4K(或其他信号输出源) + 支援 HDMI eARC 的电视 + 支持 Dolby Atmos 的 AV Receiver + 一整套环绕音箱(亦可不走 eARC 回环,由 Apple TV 4K 输出至 AVR,并从 AVR 输出视频信号到电视)
2) 不使用整套的箱子和 AVR,用 Apple TV 4K + 支持 Dolby Atmos 解码的 Sound bar。虽然 sound bar 效果有折扣,但可增加卫星箱(低音炮、后置箱子等,一般使用回音壁同品牌会更便于控制)来增强效果。

此外,相比于上述 audiophiles 更乐见的 set-up,Apple Music 以 Spatial Audio 为品牌名提供了大量 Dolby Atmos 格式的重混音源,同时 Apple 选择了把从音源(Apple Music)到支持该编码的回放设备(AirPods & Beats)变为完整支持 Spatial Audio 的一条链路。

显然 Apple 知道大部分人不愿意也不屑于掌握这些参数、标准、接线方式和设备排布知识,而是愿意用一点牺牲换取巨大的便利。虽然有点悲哀,但这就是如此庞大的用户基数如何步入全景声世代的。
这个东西适合:
a) 有支持蓝牙的传统「单 DIN」车机,但看不上傻卵大屏,又不想把小尺寸车机换成支持 CarPlay 的大尺寸车机;
b) 喜欢克制又有力的设计;
c) 理解不打扰视线的车载设备的重要性;
d) 使用 Spotify Premium 计划;
e) 音响系统没「那么」好,或者不在乎出来的声音用不满 100% 的音响素质。

所以你说有几个人会买呢?我反正买了俩(降价 40 USD 的时候购入,买完第三天收到邮件得知更减 5 USD……现在相当于半价),往 206 上现挂一个,再留一个给以后的车用。国内好像也没人拍视频,用一段时间会录视频聊聊。

打开 Steam,看见今年 Tokyo Game Show 的 slogan 是 Nothing Stops Gaming。这样的斩钉截铁,真让人觉得幸福啊。
