| Sound quality issues streaming from Tidal vs CD @sfine0, please could you explain where a switch sits in the system and it’s function? At present my line of wired connections is modem to router to streamer to dac. My streamer user interface system communicates to the router via WiFi and hence ... | |
| Sound quality issues streaming from Tidal vs CD Yes thanks. | |
| Sound quality issues streaming from Tidal vs CD @worldwidewholesales Please could you explain the difference between a streamer and a server? I do think the terminology in streaming is wanting. Sometimes a streamer contains a dac, sometimes it doesn’t (when it sometimes is referred to as a ne... | |
| Sound quality issues streaming from Tidal vs CD @worldwidewholesales Is a streamer the same as a server?i was thinking of demoing an AURALiC Aries G2 - are there others you can recommend to replace the Pro-ject?I do not need a hard drive nor a DAC. | |
| Sound quality issues streaming from Tidal vs CD @worldwidewholesales thanks for your considered reply. One thing I don’t understand: in my chain (router to Pro-Ject Streambox to DAC) which is the server? | |
| Sound quality issues streaming from Tidal vs CD Thanks for all your very informative replies. I will certainly try some of the ideas you put forward. Fortunately I don’t get drop out problems with Tidal, the issues are just in sound quality: compared to the CD the music has grit, the top end is... | |
| Sound quality issues streaming from Tidal vs CD @big_greg - my internet connection is wired. The Project stream box ultra is a budget network bridge (around $1000) whereas the Vitus CD player is high-end gear. Maybe that is the issue: a top cd transport vs a budget network transport. I had had ... | |
| Isoacoustics Gaia II on what type of speaker platform? I bought 2 cheap granite worktop savers and placed them under the Gaia. This works brilliantly. It really transformed the sound, particularly tightening the bass. | |
| Should I expect a discount from dealer for buying and installing complete system My view is that if a dealer is providing the level of service and demo opportunities that this one is giving you then that dealer deserves compensation for that service. Paying list price is that compensation. I know you intend to buy from him wha... | |
| Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"? The 2018 Bob Ludwig 50th anniversary Beggars Banquet is pretty good. Let’s hope they do the same with Let It Bleed. Ludwig has a tendency to press the LOUDNESS button but he is more subtle these days than he once was, and also somehow maintains de... | |
| What setting should my amp’s input sensitivity switch be set at? Thanks for your help. | |
| Best song for immediate impact when presenting or testing? Dave Brubeck’s “Take 5” is an extraordinary recording when played on a decent Hi-Fi, and it was recorded 60 years ago! The song is effectively a drum solo and that drum solo on the left speaker and the sax straight down the middle at the start and... | |
| MQA is Legit! There’s a reason why MQA is not adopted by many high-end DAC manufactures. By making a DAC able to handle MQA it affects all non-MQA encoded music the DAC plays negativity. The filters required for MQA have to be built into the basic infrastructur... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl £20k of CD player to listen to the rubbish like the Daft Punk ? Do you realize that they are recorded digitally in the studio, so what is the point to compare vinyl recorded from the digital master to a CD from a digital master ? The goal of analo... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl The OP is making a nonsense claim. A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of visiting my mate who has a top-end Naim set up (Naim Statement pre amp, CD555) with a Linn LP12 deck. So £20k of CD player and the same for the LP12. We compared the vinyl an... |
