| Tidal MQA vs Qobuz hi-res MQA is a big con, and they lie about it to sell it. They are desparate. It is a lossy codec that creates harmonic distortion. It can sound "better" if you like the panita, or it can sound destructive (which it is) ... but it’s NEVER closer to the ... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? Cables, Capacitors, Diodes, Solder ... it all has a sound. Can we hear it in our room? Can we justify the expense? Maybe, maybe not. It's no matter ... the main listening tool is ME. Upgrade yourself first and always.There are a lot of people w... | |

| Ayre VX-5 vs. darTZeel NHB-108 It's a very cool amp, not better than my tube amps in my system however as I had hoped. It has a very unique combo sound, partly tube and partly SS. It made everything sound great, yet a little more so than what I have now ... Cary 211FE with a ... | |
| Do we really need anything greater than 24/96? Opinions? I’m happy to read so many come to the truth 1. Mastering and production are most of it. You’re playing in the margins for subjective enjoyment NOT for better quality with SRC 2. Modest to high end DAs are all very good. Flavors of good to great.... | |
