| Qobuz Uber, I use Bluesound's app to control Qobuz in my main system and control it from my phone or tablet. Bluesound's implementation is very good. I do a lot of listening while I'm at my computer also. Since there's no streamer involved in that setup... | |
| Why do YOU love Vinyl/or hate vinyl Vinyl is projected to surpass CD in sales this year. I'm not sure age has a lot to do with it. When I visit my local record store, I'm often at the far (as in old) end of the age spectrum. | |
