    What if they use a DAC though? There's lots to choose from

    Quite right.

    The hijack was everyone else attempting to reason with your clearly intransigent views.
    It ain't going nowhere, folks. Geoff is doing his deaf adder impression.
    So a pointless endeavour.

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Did you spot any flexibility in anybody else's point of view?

    Pointless discussion anyway. Everyone knows Eisenhower had a sit down with the aliens back in the 1950s. Boundaries were established, alien bodies were handed back so their mothers could give them a decent burial; and there was the peace.

    That big dish the Chinese have built isn't a radio telescope. It's a giant wok, they are going to attempt the Guinness world record for the biggest ever stir-fry. It will use 2 million gallons of sesame oil, creating a global shortage. So stock up now.

    No. But Dr No is allowed.

    'Back To The Future' is banned there. Time travel is a 'dangerous fictional element' and Marty McFly behaves 'irresponsibly'.

    Seems reasonable enough. Just back away slowly and don't make eye contact.
