There is another fundamental idea that we all need to internalize. Software is created and evolved as an incremental continuous process, where each new innovation is building on what somebody else invented before us. We are all very quick to build something and believe we “own” it, which is correct, if we stop at the exact code we wrote. But we build things on top of work and ideas already done, and given that the current development of IT is due to the fundamental paradigm that makes ideas and behaviors not covered by copyright, we need to accept that reimplementations are a fair process. If they don’t contain any novelty, maybe they are a lazy effort? That’s possible, yet: they are fair, and nobody is violating anything. Yet, if we want to be good citizens of the ecosystem, we should try, when replicating some work, to also evolve it, invent something new: to specialize the implementation for a lower memory footprint, or to make it more useful in certain contexts, or less buggy: the Stallman way.
I say this even after using the Mix with the transmitter in lossless mode and the USB Audio cable. Both provide a small step up from conventional Bluetooth, but they can’t magically alter the Mix’s essential sound. I put these cans in the same league as the Beats Studio Pro and Sennheiser’s Accentum Plus, which, if you’ve ever heard these headphones, isn’t a knock against the Mix at all. One quick note on using the included analog cable when the Mix are powered off: It still works, but sound quality takes a huge hit. Consider it for emergency use only.，这一点在新收录的资料中也有详细论述
