Have to agree with you Rob, spent Saturday night watching a few great docs and the music was just great. Got me into the small hours with a smile on my face :) I will need to listen to the covers one. Think it was a Bowie weekend on Sky arts as well...

Has to be one of my favorite albums of 2015 (early days I know) but they are really maturing into what they are capable of IMHO. Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) produced their album and all his cool hipster talented mates also assisted Great mini doc explianing things a lot better than me...

Listened to the show yesterday, very good it was to! Have seen them a couple of times and they are very loud but I found it completely necessary and was enveloped in the sound. Going to see them at the baras, can't wait. Not going to the 6 music festival this year but the line up looks excellent.

I would also suggest the Raspberry Pi solution. You can even put it in a neat case and it is perfectly toddler and wife friendly. I have several solution in my house and it is still one of my favourite sources. Add the IQaudIO Pi-DAC+ non solder fitting to the new Pi board and it all fits in a...

Thought this was an interesting article on the sound quality of different releases of Morning Phase, an absolutely beautiful album. http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/569-and-winner-%85/
