Hi everyone, Today, I decided to do a Teardown of the new Tempotec Sonata iDSD Plus unit I received to compare the internal components to my previous Tempotec/Hidizs DAC. The unit is identical from the outside, so I did the same teardown process I did before for this new unit. The best way to open it is to use a sharp object to very careful try to detach the glass. To my surprise, this new unit wasn’t glued entirely. It…
Hi everyone, Today, I’ll show you the process of shucking the WD Elements 10TB External Hard Drive that I got the last 2 weeks. We need to use a sharp object and slide it toward the edges to take off the clips from the case. Then, we’ll slide it to the right carefully: We’ll keep sliding it right until it gets out: The drive inside my WD Elements is a WD100EMAZ: Now, we need to take out the Hard Disk…
Hi everyone, Yesterday, I received the Tempotec Sonata iDSD Plus: This is a DAC and AMP all in one device. It has Dual ES9018K2M, Dual ES9601K amplifiers, as well as a Balanced 2.5mm headphone jack as well as the regular 3.5mm jack. The device is very similar to the Hidizs DH1000. In fact, it is a rebranded Tempotec product. Today, I’ll take a look at a newer Tempotec Sonata iDSD Plus revision. The Tempotec unit I received should have some…
Hi everyone, Last week, I got a new Western Digital 10TB Essentials External Drive, which was on sale at $160 on Amazon: The reason for getting this drive is that in today’s world, digital content is growing by a lot, and files are taking more space than ever. Video resolutions are growing and so are the quality of music, which takes a lot of space. Recent development on newer audio and video codecs may keep the audio file size small,…

Hi everyone, As a backer of the TAIHE Gemini Monitor, I have received the survey today: I’ve never had a survey sent using crowdox, which is the survey system TAIHE is using to collect backer details such as their main pledge, extra items, and of course, shipping address. I clicked the Confirm your Pledge button to have the survey started and filled as soon as possible. I was then sent to their site where my pledge for the Gemini FHD…
Hi everyone, Today, I received my HyperDrive USB-C iPad Pro 2018 edition which ran on Kickstarter from December 10, 2018 to January 15 of this year.

Hi everyone, Today, I’m going to show you the UGREEN 2.5-inch Hard Disk Drive and Solid State Disk to USB-C 3.1 Enclosure. This is, as the name states, a Hard Disk Drive enclosure for 2.5 inch drives. It also works with Solid State Disks. What’s different from this enclosure to others is that this uses a USB-C connector rather than the USB 3.0 Micro or USB-A connector that most enclosures have. This is an advantage if you have other USB-C…
Repository: https://github.com/moisespr123/BOINCToWeb Hi everyone, In the weekend, I worked to improve the BOINC Tasks section of my website: Instead of manually updating this page, I’ve updated the PHP files in charge of retrieving the tasks and showing it. This file was custom made and was not in the GitHub repo. Instead, the file that was in the repo was the one that looks like this: Because that one shows all of the tasks from all of the hosts, I made…
