Wi Fi Digital Source
I'm confused. We recently did work in our house painting and needed to unplug the stereo. When reconnecting devices I noticed something odd.
I connected both my S22 Samsung phone and my very old Samsung tablet to the Innuos app. The phone when playing music from the Innous app was overly bright and the sound was good, but not robust in the low bass. It did not sound full and rich. The Samsung tablet was rich, full sounding with good low bass.
Why? The Samsung tablet is 5 yrs old, a dinosaur compared to to the phone, but sounds better. Both are on WiFi. So it's not just 1s and 0s?
Now I am wondering if a new up to date iPad would make the sound unbelievably better? Please give me your knowledge, idea on this. Thanks!
@mswale +1 Yep. You want to make sure your portable devices are controlling your Innuos, not streaming to it. So, you should be connected to your Innuous, not connected to Tidal on your phone/pad. If you are connected to Tidal on your portable device, then you are using your phone / pad as a streaming source and not the Innuos. |
@gkelly, She's correct. You can hear the difference. |
@pcrhkr - have you loaded your new phone with a whole bunch of apps? If so, and your older tablet has older and fewer apps on it, it could well be the contributing factor. Apps, especially the newer ones, are very power hungry and this creates the worst kind of environment for streaming, regardless of whether you’re using your device to merely control the stream, or if it’s part of the stream itself. If you use the phone on a daily basis as well, it’ll be constantly engaged; logged into alerts, notifications, and the like, producing enough internal jitter to give your what you’re experiencing. The best way to know for sure, is to shut down or better yet, remove all the apps on your phone, then try again. If you don’t use your tablet for anything else but streaming, get rid of every single other app on it for another possible uptick in sound quality. In any case, Samsung tablets are generally well known for a better environment of circuitry for quieter operation, their phones, not as much. In friendship - kevin |
