| Spotify vs other streaming services I use Spotify. I'm a jazz guy and their catalog is head and shoulders better then Tidal.Yes, Tidal does sound better by far, but what good is better sound if there is nothing to listen to? | |
| Moving to Tidal jond, I'm curious. What does Spotify sound like on your system.On mine I hear an openness with macro and micro detail in a well populated soundstage. Tidal has all of that and more. Do you just listen to music on your main system all the time? I l... | |
| Jazz for aficionados pryso, thank you for that, it made my day. So many of the people I listen to are in that piece.Well Done. | |
| Moving to Tidal I downloaded tidal again to test their catalog against spotify . If you like rap or R&B or rock you're golden. But I'm a jazz guy with a nice amount of classical thrown in as well. I searched tidal for some of the stuff I listen to on Spotify,... | |
| Harmonic Tech AC10 vs Audiience PowerChord I have the AC10 power cord. It's been on my Modwright swl 9.0 preamp for about 5 or 6 yrs. Had a hard time finding one at the time but there is an audio store in Windsor, Ontario that had enough wire to build me one. An outstanding PC at any price... | |
| Cable info The guy asked about cables. | |
| Tidal Hifi has a very limited jazz selection I'm a jazz guy as well that uses Spotify. I tried Tidal for a while but compared to Spotify's library it was truly lacking. For me the music is more important. I listen in the car, I listen thru my HT system, and thru my main rig in my listening r... | |
| What software to play .dsf or dsd files for Windows 10? Yeah Jim, were on the same page. Just for S&G I'm gonna try the free HQ Player. I've read that the sound is very good, but you might need a degree from MIT to work the thing. Anyway, keep listening. | |
| What software to play .dsf or dsd files for Windows 10? Jim204, I'm with you. To a point. I too tried the free Roon offer and found the same results. The sound was much better then JR. But Roon gives you a lot of stuff to read about the artiest in your library. I really don't need all that. I still rea... | |
| Roon Vs JRIVER MC 24 sound quality comparison on PC to DAC I'm trying the 14 day trial of Roon , and yes , it does sound better then JR MC 24. And to my ears, by a wide margin. I use JR and I'm happy with it, but like so many guys in this hobby were always looking for just a little more. It's more detaile... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... canibefrank , if cost is a concern give the Denafrips Pontus a listen. It's head and shoulders above you're other choice. There are no slouches in the Denafrips line. I own the Pontus and have no complaints. | |
| Qobuz Coming to America Soon! Is their catalog as large as Spotify? If not, hirez files won't make me switch. The music is more important to me. | |
| Are Audiophiles "Simply Guessing?" I listen to Spotify on my system and it sounds great to me. I listen to my music on my system and it sounds great to me. I listen to some hi rez downloads on my system and they sound great to me. I'm listening to the music, not the system. I have ... | |
| Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Noise issue driving me nuts! What cartridge are you using? | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... I have the Pontus and it didn't come with a power cord either. I'm using a Van den hul I've had for years and used on other components. It's always sounded great to me. |
