Time to do your own comparison on your system to find out. Roon Trial or purchase a month seems like the ticket. I use Tidal and compared it with and without Amarra software and it definitely sounds better with Amarra. Not sure what they do? I was hoping it wouldn’t sound better due to Amarra’s iffy interface. Compared Qobuz to TidaI and they sound very close giving an edge to Qobuz. I use Tidal due to an annual subscription deal. I compared USB cables and yes they make a sonic difference to my ears. Also, using an ethernet cable sounds better than wifi but I could not distinguish a difference between basic CAT 8 ethernet cables and high-end ones. Roon trial down the road in my sights…
How to properly stream TIDAL, Qobuz, Deezer, et cetera?
Hi guys,
So I've been meaning to ask if there's an optimal way to stream these streaming service, if you know what I mean..., like some players which directly support TIDAL or Qobuz or Amazon Music and stuff, but what if I stream TIDAL through Roon, would the sound quality get better? and why?
I know that Roon does a lot of signal purification jobs during the whole transmitting process, still, I'm very much confused hahaha, since the cloud service is the original place of the music files, no? how come during the transmission the sound could be optimized!?
If that's a true fact that it's possible to level up the sound quality better than the original, so the theory can also be applying on the hardware parts I presume, like I can buy an real nice hi-end router to upgrade the network quality from the beginning, then the DC power supply, audio grade network switch, specialized cables, all the way to speakers, is that right?
Best,
