Hi everyone, Today, I will show you the LiteOn DU-8A5LH Ultra Slim 9.5mm Internal Optical Drive: This drive can burn CDs and DVDs and offer fast speeds up to 24x for CD-R and 8x for DVD+/-R discs.

Hi everyone, 2 weeks ago, I got the LG GP96Y (GP96YB70) External Slim CD/DVD drive. This drive is marketed as a Multi-OS drive with compatibility with Android and compatible TV’s. One thing that some LG drives have is that they can mount a disk as a FAT32 filesystem, allowing browsing the disc on systems that do not officially support disc drives. What I did not know is that when an Audio CD is inserted, it can mount it and show…

Hi everyone, As a long-time user of Tidal, I’ve been enjoying the app for my music listening sessions, except that it did not support MQA (Tidal Masters) bitstreaming to USB DACs. This meant that the audio always got resampled to either 48Khz at first, and then to 192Khz in later versions. Up until several weeks ago, this was the case. We were forced to use third-party apps like USB Audio Player Pro or the Hiby Music app which added MQA…

Hi everyone, Today, I finally got the LG GP96 drive delivered to me. It was ordered some 3 weeks ago but you know, Amazon’s shipping to US territories is the worst, taking weeks to ship them just to have them ship them with UPS 2-day Air service. So yeah, it was shipped on the 10th of August and I got it today, when the initial order was made on July 22nd. Nevertheless, today, I finally got it and I can…
