| Music Disappearing (Roon/Tidal/Qobuz) I've seen this on Qobuz and was told it's a licensing issue. That's just one reason I don't plan to ever rely solely on streaming. | |
| Tubed preamps and Power amps- How old is too old??? 10,000 hours on a tube preamp is nothing. I have much more than that on my ARC Ref5SE. | |

| Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz Soundiiz can transfer playlists between services, though it didn't work that well for me. There's a fee for large playlists. | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ fredrik222 ... I get why people want to be in the cult of anti facts ... Of course. That's your world. | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ fredrik222 ... how about an actual test and dissecting of an "audiophile" switch? People have reported their results but you tend to dismiss them with a wave of the hand or a string of insults. Of course you could conduct your own test, co... | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ fredrik222 I am an expert, however, you fall under the Dunning Kruger effect ... I called him a BSer. Because that is the truth ... he is just another clueless guy hawking gear that doesn't do anything, at best, at worst deliberately trying to m... | |

Thoughts ? benanders I think the bullhorns and brashness come from folks tired of trying to find ways to instill the broad concept of how the word “test” can be (and oft is) misused when discussing anecdotal (personal) sampling that doesn’t conform to any... | |

| Anyone listen to Music on a FM tuner anymore? budjoe ... HD beats regular FM and streaming by a large margin ... So-called "HD" radio is lossy digital, not unlike mp3 files. It has neither the FR or DR of a good analog FM signal received with a proper antenna and decent tuner. That's part... | |
| Anyone listen to Music on a FM tuner anymore? I still listen to the McIntosh MR80 tuner in my system. The classical station I enjoy sounds much better OTA than it does on the stream, and a few other bright spots remain on FM. But of course, the glory days of FM are long gone. | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ audphile1 I am using a network renderer in my DAC (Bricasti M3) as a Roon endpoint (Roon core duties are handled by Mac Mini) without an outboard dedicated streamer. I also occasionally use MConnect to bypass Roon and stream direct from streamin... | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ audphile1 Cheaper streamers buffer. Higher end streamers cache. Some higher end streamers buffer but use a healthy buffer area and processing to ensure the data is clean. What streamer are you using, @audphile1 ? What streaming service are... | |
| Cost Incurred to Achieve a Vinyl LP Replay dogberry I tried ripping all my CDs and had a disk failure in a hardware RAID array that required the exact same model of disk to replace a failed drive. They had been discontinued, so months of work for nothing. What type of RAID array did yo... | |
