Good to see you back Uber. I'm being lazy at the moment, listening to Spotify. About to go get some albums to spin. |
@trentmemphis I picked up an Aqua La Voce S3 DAC. I listened to it for an hour or so this morning, sounds pretty good! I have to say though, it made me realize how good the schitt bifrost 2 that it's replacing sounded. The S3 seems to have more energy and dynamics and a little more detail. |
Thanks again guys. Pat was relatively new to our group, but a nice guy and a lover of music. We're going to share the playlist with his wife. |
Al Di Meola - Across the Universe, Qobuz Hi-res |
Dire Straits - S/T, Qobuz |
It's nice Uber. We all submit songs then one of our members puts them into a tidal playlist. |
Holly Cole - Temptation, Qobuz |
Santana - Abraxas, DSD from my network. First time I've listened since I got my TEAC NT-505. Wow! |
|
Checking out some of this week's new hi-res releases on Qobuz.
Caribou - Suddenly
Waxahatchee - Saint Cloud
|
Robby Krieger - The Ritual Begins at Sundown, Qobuz Hi-Res
|
Silje Nergaard - Silje Nergaard, Qobuz Hi-Res.
|
I've had Radio Paradise on for a good chunk of the day, now I'm listening to The Who at 50 on Qobuz. |
Ray LaMontagne - Monovision, Qobuz Hi-Res. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about in the vinyl thread. Not really my thing.
|
Alice Phoebe Lou - Live at Funkhaus, Qobuz Hi-Res
|
Steven Wilson - The Future Bites, Qobuz HiRes |
Steely Dan - Citizen 1972-1980 Box Set, Qobuz. This might take a couple of days...
|
Juliana Hatfield Sings the Police, Qobuz
|
Kraftwerk - Autobahn, Qobuz |
@16f4 Continuing on with Steely Dan. I don't buy a lot of box sets, but this is one worth owning, not a single song is "filler". |
Yes - Drama, Qobuz Hi-res |
Wasn't Steven Wilson one of the Beach Boys? |
Mark Lanegan - Straight Songs of Sorrow, Qobuz |
|
Daniel Muller-Schott - Brahms: Sonatas Opp. 38, 78 & 99, Qobuz Hi-Res
|
Steely Dan - Gaucho, Qobuz Hi-Res |
Kamasi Washington - Becoming, Qobuz Hi-Res
|
Charli Xcx - how i'm feeling now, Qobuz Hi-Res
|
The "other" Canadian power trio. Things in the late 70s / early 80's are a little hazy but if I recall correctly I saw them at a "rising star" show for about 2 bucks when they were just catching on in the U.S. |
The Rolling Stones - Honk, Qobuz had the nerve to call this "hi-res". Definitely audiophool quality! But hey, I love the Stones.
|
Keith Jarrett - Bop-Be, Qobuz Hi-Res. Good stuff!
|
Moses Sumney - græ, Qobuz Hi-Res. This might not be everyone's cup of tea, but the sonics are great. It sounds like Prince and D'Angelo might have influenced him a lot.
|
Gram Parsons - Sleepless Nights, Qobuz Hi-Res, highly recommended!
|
Daft Punk - Homework, Qobuz. Long Live Daft Punk! |
Viagra Boys - Welfare Jazz, Qobuz. One more reason to like Sweden! |
Innervisions and Songs in the Key of Life, Stevie Wonder, Qobuz |
Taste - On The Boards, Qobuz
|
Bruce Springsteen - The Live Series: Songs of Summer, Qobuz
|
@16f4 A couple of things...
I have a nice strong signal now, and my music quality on Qobuz went from CD quality to Hi-Res MQA.
Having a strong signal is a good thing, but the primary thing it does is prevent dropouts, which you probably weren't getting at your previous speeds. The quality settings are based on your settings in Qobuz, not the wireless connection. MQA is a proprietary format that Tidal uses. Qobuz doesn't use MQA. Qobuz does have a lot of hi-res files, but you should have been able to stream those at the speed you had before. If it sounds better to your ears, that's great and is all that really matters. |
Aaron Neville - Love Letters, Qobuz
|
Brian Eno - Wrong Way Up, Qobuz |
Frank Sinatra - Nice 'n' Easy, Qobuz
|
Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith - The Mosaic of Transformation, Qobuz
|
|
|
Mourning [A] BLKstar - The Cycle, Qobuz |
Fleet Foxes - Shore, Qobuz Hi-Res. Nice as background music, but I'm not really getting into this... |
@16f4 More like Old Men Complaining about their assorted health issues, LOL. |
Shirley Scott - One For Me, Qobuz |
Steve Earle & The Dukes - Ghosts of West Virginia, Qobuz Hi-Res
|
