| Quboz vs. Tidal: Tanika Chalres : Papillon De Nuit I only pointed out the spelling issue because personally the only thing worse than my spelling is my typing. I do feel the album is a good comparison of the differences in streaming services. I've just recently started the Qobuz free trial and a... | |
| Quboz vs. Tidal: Tanika Chalres : Papillon De Nuit @erik_squires Couldn't find Tanika Chalres : "Papillon De Nuit" 😏 I did find Tanika Charles "Papillon De Nuit" I also can't compare it to Tidal vs Qobuz but I did compare it to AmazonHD vs Qobuz. Amazon seems to be much more forward . Like on... | |
| Your method for discovering great music. On my Qobuz trial discovered https://www.mps-music.com/products/ Welcome to the Black Forest (The Sounds of MPS) this album sounds fantastic and led me to a lot of great recordings | |
| Amazon Music HD on HEOS This is my 500th post and hopefully won't be placed in a post that will be removed. (501 all bets are off.) The Amazon computer app in exclusive mode produces the best sound quality. I'm a Windows guy so I use a designated fanless pc into the D... | |
| Subwoofer Choice Question SVS, Majico, JL Audio, REL Seaton sound Submersive HP Wasn't one of the OP choices but if you are looking for a marked improvement you are going to need to consider a high end sub. | |
| Is Tidal messing up for you? Would you Choose Amazon over it? @jjss49 darn you. I really didn't want to believe it but Qobuz is better than AmazonHD. Just signed up for the Qobuz free trial and with WASAPI (exclusive) mode it's just better. The bass is tighter and there is an increase in clarity which... | |
| How to control volume for DAC with no volume control The only way would be to use the volume on the software. My amp has a volume attenuator so I can run it bypassed but not always. | |
| Will DAC always sound better going straight into a Power Amplifier? I think it's about the output voltage of the DAC and the input voltage of the amp. I plug my Orchid DAC directly into the Decware amp. I control the volume through software and it sounds good to me. The Decware amp has its own volume control so... | |
| Flagship product to build around @ebm So you're saying DAC is the product build around cause I'm cheap and lazy? | |
| Flagship product to build around @erik_squires Thanks. Another question. You have suggested using blankets and pillows to get an loose idea of where acoustics should be positioned. I'm currently using blankets and pillows on bar stools to get them near my listening height. ... | |
| Flagship product to build around @erik_squires Regarding room treatment. Wouldn't the treatment vary depending on the speakers chosen? | |
| Flagship product to build around @ebm You're probably on the right track to build around an amp but a Class A/B amp and 350 Watts seems more like a boat anchor than a flagship. For that money I'd probably go with the Coda #16. Similar power but the first 100 watts are Class ... | |
| Is Tidal messing up for you? Would you Choose Amazon over it? Already did and wouldn't look back. Amazon with a Prime membership is much cheaper than Tidal (look at the annual plan) and a much better selection. Device support is much more limited though and playing in the car thru the pone works really we... | |
| What is an audiophile? Are you an audiophile? @pesky_wabbit Will what can I say. The guy’s an idiot. 😁 and he's still could be considered audiophile | |
| Upgrade system to stream Tidal A Raspberry PI and the best DAC you can afford will give the best chance of competing with your current source. What about the paradigm Monitor 9s do you no longer like? |
