The difference between Qoboz stream vs purchased songs
@blisshifi  and there you have, physics, protocols, and so on be damned, there is nothing more to prove!  There are plenty of discussion, and no one has ever put up any proof for outlandish claims like you made. No one. Nothing that can be verifi... 
The difference between Qoboz stream vs purchased songs
@blisshifi  show ANY proof for the below…. With local file playback, you typically bypass any network processing, and even a lower resolution file can sound better due to less digital errors and lower noise.  
Center Channel Dialogue
@hillbilly559  I had the same issue with my Marantz, and found a review video with Andrew Robinson where he walked through why Marantz is very bad at center channel clarity. I think it was his Anthem review. Either way, I borrowed a bubbies Anthem...

@ghasley  you are wrong. You started out saying no caching, and when to everyone caches! So you learned something. That's a win.

@cleeds  you are confusing the name of the service with how the technology works. Nothing has changed. You can name it whatever you want, but that doesn’t mean anything for how the technology works. You still download the songs from a technology ...

@clearthink factually flawed, how so? let’s dig into the technology and show me why it is factually flawed. Let me start you off: Jitter - since it's an actual download, jitter means nothing. Noise from RFI/EMI - Somehow analogue noise is imbed...

@cleeds  Ok, now I see the problem. You never read what I posted.  They call it a streaming service, yes, that is a fact. Also a fact, they actually don't have a continuous stream, your streamer/player download each song individually then play it...

@clearthink factually flawed, how so? let’s dig into the technology and show me why it is factually flawed. Like I have said many times, once you give people enough rope to hang themselves, they do it willingly.    @ghasley so first no one caches...

@ghasley  so you say without knowing anything about my experience, so who is inflexible now?

@ghasley you jumped right in, neck first, and as predicted went to name calling. the issue I have is when  people genuinely wants to learn are told a bunch of lies and then spend money they don’t have to. There is so much snake oil in this indust...

@ghasley  there you go. Roon download per already posted link above. Hifi rose says in their support that you cannot turn off cache for Qobuz. it invalidates the entire argument that cables or switches can make a difference. That is why it matter...

@ghasley bam! Name calling, as predicted!    Do you think Naim is serious equipment? What about Roon? Hifi Rose? You have not published your system so I can’t give you a link to your streamer of choice.

More:” See an example of that in the attached graph from my Roon core playing 96/24 from Qobuz as a track ends and the next starts: a steady send rate to the playing endpoint, and a big burst receiving the next track. It’s all on 1Gb wired local n...

@carlsbad2  ok, so they deleted my response to you. Of course streaming and downloads are bit perfect, or it wouldn’t play. Which, in the case when you have high packet loss in true stream, is why experience a drop out, not something like a faint ... 
Ethernet opinions
@cleeds that is how the Qobuz and Tidal work, through song download. Streaming is a continues stream however, that is not what Qobuz and Tidal does.. Don’t blame me, and go check your  cache settings. What do you think a cache is for, just curious...
