Streaming


I’m interested in high  resolution streaming but don’t know how to get started. I have a Schiit Gungnir Multibit DAC.  What else do I need?

Get a subscription to Tidal or Spotify or Deezer (Quobuz says they will be in the US later this year).
Using the app, connect from your phone or computer to the Gungy and the Gungy goes to your preamp.

Tidal has one of the worst cataloging systems of all the streaming companies.
You literally have to:
1. Type the composer in the search box
2. Add the type of music (symphony/concerto/etc.) after the name.

You then get hits for albums most of the time.
Spotify has a much better organized catalog, and more complete, too.
Spotify also has a nice little 'Discover' tab that offers music related to what you have been listening to. I discovered lots of interesting new composer using that as well as 'Related Artists' when searching an artist.

FWIW, though you can get higher sampling rates on Tidal on some recordings (like MQA), most of their offerings are at the same 44Khz that Spotify outputs.

I believe he is using the OPPO to connect to the Tidal App. on his Ipad and then outputting to his Schiit Dac.

Do you have any tricks to access Tidal classical offerings?
I, for one, would like to know.

@echolane, I suggest using the topics dropdown and selecting 'Digital'.
And, thanks for posting Primephonic. I just signed up. Unfortunately, no link with my Bluesound App.
