Steely Dan Catalog on UHQR Vinyl
mofimadness While I agree that most of the Dan catalog was well done, these are UHQR’s. Should be the penultimate of reissues ... I can only hope you're mistaken @mofimadness, or that you don't know the definition of "penultimate."  
The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them
What I have found interesting about the MoFi issue is the level of indignation - and even outright anger - that it has prompted from some. And I have to wonder: Have any of them actually ever bought any MoFi LPs? It will be interesting to see if ... 
Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions
dpop FM reception these days can be very noisy. That's another reason why OTA audio processing is kept aggressive, to mask that noise. Another factor is FM stereo performance, which at best has a S/N ratio of -65 dB. If the same station has a de... 
Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions
The truth is that the stream of most radio stations is very lossy mp3 quality. So even if the stream has less processing than OTA, the sound suffers. Same with so-called "HD" radio. It's not high definition at all, but lossy digital. And that's wh... 
Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions
paradisecom Why not just stream any station you like?  Why be restricted to the 1 or 2 that might be available where you live? The fidelity of OTA audio is almost always better than streamed radio. Once set up, you can't beat the convenience o... 
Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions
Do you live in an urban area with many strong signals? Or, perhaps a rural area where you'll need a highly sensitive tuner? This Linn looks nice.  
Aurender N200
blisshifi ...  for clarification, Aurender does not require you to use the internal bays for storing your music library. It absolutely has the ability to connect to a NAS ... Quite so and thanks for clarifying. I just meant that Aurender is a ... 
Aurender N200
dinov ... The problem I feel with Aurender is again being locked into a proprietary system that’s not nas friendly ... That is exactly the problem with Aurender, and it's part of what led to my frustrations when I had an N100H. Aurender is... 
Having a lot of problems aligning Qobuz
Obviously you have not properly set your software - which you haven't specified - to store your files in the proper places. Typically, actual sound files are not stored under "playlists," but only the path to those files.    
Having a lot of problems aligning Qobuz
If you are using the Qobuz app for Windows, you can go to your account  → settings  → music download. You can set your music to be imported and stored wherever you like.  
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
charles1dad I don’t believe that people find objective criteria too much to accept. Rather it is inadequate in determining the sonic performance of a given audio product. Exactly.  
Having a lot of problems aligning Qobuz
You might want to rephrase your question. I don’t understand what you’re trying to do - Qobuz doesn't require "aligning" and I have no issues with playlists in Qobuz.  
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
kuribo I am not "critical and dismissive of actually listening and judging" ... That statement is inconsistent with this: Whether or not it "outperforms" other class d amps can only be judged by the specs. And that’s how logic works. S... 
Silver/copper Lavri cable thread gone??
It's still there, in all its glorious ignorance and angst. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/serious-question-about-silver-vs-copper-conductivity-for-power?page=4  
Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West?
Hey folks, hundreds of millions of people around the world are streaming audio and that wouldn't be happening if streaming wasn't just as easy as pie. Easy peasy. That is the way it has traditionally been with audio, with many users taking the eas...
