Tidal HiFi Test - how representative?
Ghosthouse, I see where you're going with this. Since I signed up for the more expensive plan right away, I don't know how the two plans vary from one another since I'm always hifi. Tidal hifi is streamed lossless, which they claim is CD quality, ...

Tidal HiFi Test - how representative?
I just looked on my computer and when I play a selection, the HIFI indicator down by the volume control enables, or come on, so premium is HIFI. 
Tidal HiFi Test - how representative?
Ghosthouse, I believe the test is just a sample to get the listener to hear how Tidal will sound through their system. I'm sure it's a premium signal to show the best that they have to offer. I didn't know about the test either, but I can sure hea... 
How to calculate freight class for speaker shippin
Sorry for all of the separate posts, but this comes to me after I think back... When I got things rolling with FreightCenter, they contacted me to make sure things were right. Once you're happy with how things look, then you can commit. They calle... 
How to calculate freight class for speaker shippin
As far as insuring them, I got info from FreightCenter for an insurer as I set things up. I used Inland insurance, and it wasn't very expensive to insure for 2 grand. The shipper was R&L Carriers, who took them to one of their facilities where...

Thanks guys. I'll be sure to check out Rheomusi. Right now I'm looking at an inexpensive DAC for hooking up the notebook. Something like a Musical Fidelity V90 or a Music Hall dac15.2 which both cost the same at AA. Don't want to spend a lot at fi... 
Spotify sounds compressed
Ghosthouse, all of the tracks sound compressed. I just loaded Tidal on the tablet, picked a couple favorites, checked all of the settings, and the quality blows Spotify away. Spotify is just sub-par. I thought I may be having trouble with my noteb... 
Spotify sounds compressed
I started to load the app on my tablet, but decided against it. Since there is no connect feature I won't be able to use the notebook to navigate, plus a lot of the reviews tell of many problems. No a very good rating. I believe it does sound a he...

Mofi, I think I remember reading about Spotify having less quality than others.Arh, If something else is wrong, I don't know what it could be. Radio Tunes sounds excellent, Spotify not so good. I don't have the capability to hook the Asus up to th...
