New at Qobuz - no HiRes sound
Yes I think you are absolutely correct. I am still testing and see if a change to Qobuz makes sense to me based on my DAC limitations. I was able to compare the same recording (Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms) played by Spotify, Tidal and Qobuz us... 
New at Qobuz - no HiRes sound
Thank you for all your responses. Meanwhile I did more testing in trying to find a solution. Here is what I found:If I play "Hi-Res" on Tidal, my Mark Levinson indicates a sampling rate of 48kHz on the display. Regular quality reads "44.1". So the... 
Alternatives to subscribing to Tidal via Apple?
Thank you all! I will re-subscribe with Tidal and then look into Qobuz. 
Mark Levinson 39 Drawer problem
My 39 did not give me any further trouble since last reporting here. I only replaced the drawer belt and spent $50 for an original ML part. This certainly qualifies for extortion by ML, but I could not find a suitable belt elsewhere. Have fun with... 
Mark Levinson 333 (recapped)
I owned a 23.5 before I got a 333. Short answer: Don't do it! While the sound is marginally better on the 333, I had already 2 repairs: $2,200 and $1,500. Service is very much restricted to overpriced service centers. I owned my 23.5. for 20 years... 
Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make!
Interesting discussion. I am close on getting hearing aids but have a question of principle understanding:The hearing aid - from a principal point of view - consists of a microphone, an amplifier and a speaker. If you listen through this device, d... 
Planning to sell my Micro DDX-1000, recommendations?
Thank you all for your responses. I will indeed probably sell local - if possible - and as individual components. 
Can I use the Tidal app for streaming with node 2 without Bluesound app?
I finally figured it out how to connect without BT - Thanks! @djones51: I believe you are correct with the Bluetooth down sampling but at first listening I do not hear such a big difference so perhaps convenience is worth the small loss? 
Can I use the Tidal app for streaming with node 2 without Bluesound app?
Ok now I get it. Bummer - I like the concept of "radio stations" and "Daily Mix" that both Spotify and Tidal offer on their Apps. As far as I discovered so far, Bluesound is much more basic than these sites. Need to reconsider the design-up to Tid... 
Can I use the Tidal app for streaming with node 2 without Bluesound app?
Yes I get that but then I am streaming using the navigation of the Bluesound app and not the Tidal App, correct? 
Node-2/Spotify L-R channel swap?
Unfortunately it is happening on my system. Would be nice if somebody could stream the same song of the mentioned recording (“Django”) multiple times within a few days and try to replicate my observation. 
Node-2/Spotify L-R channel swap?
No comment/input? I know it perhaps sounds strange, but the channels swap L-R frequently and randomly. No one ever experience that? 
Can I use the Tidal app for streaming with node 2 without Bluesound app?
Ok, but if I do not press “Bluetooth” I  can not use the Tidal App. I also have a WiFi connection between the iPad and the node. I was under the impression that the node streams straight from it’s own WiFi connection to my router and that the iPad... 
Can I use the Tidal app for streaming with node 2 without Bluesound app?
I guess I figured it out - sorry for that: In the Bluesound App I used the left navigation button and pressed “Bluetooth” to connect my iPad with the node 2. Is that the correct way of doing it? 
Mark Levinson 39 Drawer problem
George, @justmetoo thank you! I am glad that I was able to resolve this. Looking forward to many listening hours...
