@ossicle2brain I wonder what makes you think that. Streams are not that much different from CD and CDs are not error-free media (bit wise) while networks are.
Eversolo DMP 8 audition going poorly...
Evaluating as a standalone streaming player.
8 hours run time. So far sounds dull and lifeless.
- Streaming Qobuz only
- DH Labs ethernet
- Zavfino Fina power cable
- Zavfino Fusion XLR interconnects
DMP 8 settings
- DSD audio: native (default was DSD over PCM - sounds the same)
- Volume: max
- DAC filter: short delay slow roll-off (default)
Any ideas from other DMP 8 owners?

@ossicle2brain - to some extent true - but streaming services do not necessarily stream the same material. I tried (1) LP, (2) same LP recorded into DSD by me, (3) HDTracks 24/96, (4) CD and (5) Tidal. (1) and (2) sounded identical to me via really good DAC. Everything else sounded different and hi rez not necessarily better. BUT some streams sounded better than my ripped CDs. Also, people use streamer embedded DAC which is often a poor implementation. I use source with the best sound for a particular recording. Sometimes LP (most often recorded into DSD), sometimes stream, sometimes CD. |
