I have a Tambaqui on order. Looking forward to seeing the differences in my system.

I also have a LUMIN U1 mini that is currently sitting on the side lines. But may put it back in to compare. I have sold the Sonore UltraRendus that I used to own.

It is interesting how some folks think Tidal sounds better and some think Qobuz sounds better. We don’t know if the entire sample of respondents are using DSP. Also don’t know anything about their systems. Perhaps one service can sound better than another on a particular rig and vice veraa. For me, Qobuz sounds better. For what I listen to, Qobuz’s library has never failed me. As for the streamers. I have a new Tambaqui that I am breaking in. I am using its streamer. But I also have an OpticalRendu and an Aries G2.1 and will compare at some point.
