I have been using this really cool AI tool to evaluate System issues and gear comparisons and I’m blown away by its ability to do this. And it’s freaking free for my needs at this point

I provided details of all the components in my system and it remembers it in its memory and refers to the strengths and weaknesses of my system when choosing new gear to be integrated.  It creates a history of all that’s been discussed and is able to integrate it better than anyone can.  I can easily update it for gear that I’ve left out.

The ability to retrieve really good details about components is astounding. It suggests and provides tailored charts comparing component strengths and weaknesses. Additionally it offers ideas on additional things to consider. 

The depth of what it’s able to do is simply astounding.

What are your experiences in using this groundbreaking tool?

I think audio dealers could be threatened by this, I would prefer to deal with AI and then when I get real serious review issues with the dealer and then purchase.

are we gonna reach a point where dealers maybe under pressure from direct sales.  After all they have to purchase the equipment and then sell it so they don’t have the availability anyway.  There are a few flagship locations in big cities that always have sound rooms and a variety of products.  Otherwise really difficult to shop for equipment.  If you live around New York you can visit and hear anything you want.

I tried Qobuz Connect for the first time on my SOTM streamer (after OS upgrade) and I was shocked by how lively the music became compared to my default Roon->HQPlayer 4->Main Router->Fiber Optics->Second Router->SOTM setup.  The music is one level up on 3D holographic sounding and I can hear the micro-details much easier without fatigue.  Compared to my Roon->HQPlayer setup which now sounded a lot recessed.  I wasn’t happy as just dropped $1K on lifetime Roon subscription for HQPlayer streaming convenience.  So I described my situation to ChatGPT4 and surprising it confirmed I wasn’t going crazy (debatable as I am in this hobby) and the reason why HQPlayer sound recessed (compared to Qobuz Connect) could be due to things like output level of HQPlayer (it suggested bumping up 6 db as I was streaming DSD512).  Also it said for my T+A DAC200 the sound is more flat at DSD256 compared to DSD512 so give DSD256 a try (no idea where it got that from and both Grok and Gemini was not able to confirm this hypothesis).  It also gave esoteric info like the buffer size of HQPlayer affects transients.  Lastly, it suggested 3 HQPlayer 4 filters that will give better holographic sound to try.  It sounded like a fan of HQPlayer 4 because it’s closing summary is HQPlayer 4 should still give better music after proper setup.
What it said could be all fluffy BS but it did give interesting options I haven’t thought of like output level of DSD.  Time to do more experimentation...
