Title: Name for up coming Bottlehead DAC?
Post by: BNAL on November 25, 2013, 05:55:29 PM
So has there been any thought on a name for the long awaited Bottlehead DAC? How does Anticipation sound? Maybe somthing based on the old naming convention, like Penetration.

If it doesn't have tubes, we could call it Castration?

OUCH!  Wouldn't that make guys shy away from it?

How about Bee DAC?

That's the best one so far.

Remember that this device of pleasure does not come with batteries included, so it is important to keep a fresh stock in the nightstand. ;D

Premature Digitalization

All that being said I like the B.D.S.M too!

Anticipation has been used hasn't it?  It was a mod to the original Foreplay I believe.
Title: Re: Name for up coming Bottlehead DAC?
Post by: galyons on December 01, 2013, 07:03:31 AM
Yep! My Anticipation manual is copyright dated 1998, Electronic Tonalities.  It was the original C4S upgrade for the Foreplay.

B.D.S.M now that's just pure creative class

Wiki says  "Interest in BDSM can range from one-time experimentation to a lifestyle"

That is reserved for a DAC that only works on a UNIX computer.

Best,

I agree with everyone else who thinks "Best Digital Source for Music or B.D.S.M for short" is a great name.  However, if you want something simple how about "DAC Envy".  For the obvious reasons.

I think 'best' is a bit pretentious, but I could go for Bottlehead Digital Source for Music.
Title: Re: Name for up coming Bottlehead DAC?
Post by: xcortes on December 10, 2013, 09:31:39 AM
If it's not the Best I'm not buying one.

Glad to know many are amused by my suggested name.

I understand Doc's comment about "Best" being a tad pretentious but given my experience with your gear to date, I wouldn't say it's far from being a true statement.

Since there's an Eros, how about Philos or Agape? (perhaps too obscure)

Endorphin
Exstasy



Title: Re: Name for up coming Bottlehead DAC?
Post by: fullheadofnothing on December 16, 2013, 06:05:33 AM
Agape is great!
Title: Re: Name for up coming Bottlehead DAC?
Post by: Paul Joppa on December 16, 2013, 06:51:22 AM
I like Agape too - it's digital so not quite as visceral as Eros. Plus of course, it sounds so un-digital it leaves your mouth agape!  :^) maybe we should spell it authentically: Ἀγάπη
Title: Re: Name for up coming Bottlehead DAC?
Post by: Doc B. on December 16, 2013, 08:20:04 AM
I'm reading definitions of Eros as physical love - more the visceral attraction, and Philia as mental love - more the cerebral attraction. I would suggest that this might be more appropriate to delineate LP from digital.

As for Agape, the unconditional spiritual love?
Well agape does rhyme with tape. Coincidence? I think not.
Title: Re: Name for up coming Bottlehead DAC?
Post by: Armaegis on December 17, 2013, 07:12:01 PM
The meaning changes depending how you say it:
... "rhymes with tape" means amazement.
... "ah gah pey" means unconditional love (typically has spiritual connotations)
Title: Re: Name for up coming Bottlehead DAC?
Post by: Doc B. on December 17, 2013, 07:56:41 PM
I think Philos is gonna be it.
Title: Re: Name for up coming Bottlehead DAC?
Post by: Chris on December 17, 2013, 11:55:51 PM
Well, we are all audiophiles... So Philos seems appropriate... I can dig...
Title: Re: Name for up coming Bottlehead DAC?
Post by: ffivaz on December 18, 2013, 06:46:48 AM
In french "une agape" is a small meal. It comes from the religious meaning of the word : "une agape" was the small meal the first christians took together in what would become known as a church.

Ooh, since I named it does that mean I get a dac in the mail?    ;D

Hi,

I posted in the other thread, not realizing there is this thread on this topic already.

I like most suggestions, but I am partial to "lust": it is carnal, yet virtual. It is satisfying in itself, although it is a necessary step to greater satisfaction.

And yes, a Quickie at the output would make even more sense with Lust.

;o)
