Are music servers the future?


I am now listening to a pro-dac that plays JRiver MC 19 on a Mac Mini 2013 in double DSD. It upsamples everything except presently double DSD moving the filters well beyond anything we can hear or sense. Unfortunately, double DSD downloads are not readily available. It is wondrous to be away from PCM.

Does anyone know of outlets for double DSD recordings?

In the last 5 months I bought for about e 1500 euro on music at Qobuz. I compared their recordings with HDtracks. What the f...are those people doing overthere at HDtracks?

Qobuz same recordings are more analog sounding and have better dynamics.

There must be a reason why Qobuz has a better sound quality compared to Budgettracks!!
same recordings, same artist same sample freq.

Listen: often the the Original cd is better than the Inferiortracks recording on 24 bit.

But the Qobuz is superior to the Original cd recording.

It's bullshit when you can choose between 96, 176 or 192 khz.

Qobuz is also much bigger, much more options to choose from. It is side where you only could dream of in the past.
I love it.

When you bought a recorded, you can copy it as often as you like. And also in every way ( like mp3, wav, flac etc.)
