| Blind fold hearing test This is like asking what camera a picture was taken with. People spend all kinds of money on different camera bodies, but most people wouldn't be able to pick out a shot taken with a cell phone vs a $5,000 DSLR and few if any could say that image... | |

| Qobuz Windows App I renewed my subscription to Qobuz and have been listening to it a lot. The app works great within the Bluesound app on my Android devices. The app is still a little buggy on my PC and runs kind of slow, but works fine on my Dell laptop. I'm no... | |
