| Most underrated female recording artists.. @jerryg123 'I am not going out on a limb here that Tiana Lemnitz did not face much of it until after May 1945.' Not sure whether this could be proven either way. | |
| Most underrated female recording artists.. Because I mentioned Tiana Lemnitz who was a prominent Nazi, I feel compelled to add that I know she associated herself with the Nazi view early on. Whether or not she did this to find work or whether she honestly believed in the demagoguery, I mak... | |
| Most underrated female recording artists.. Tiana Lemnitz and for those of you who’ve never ever heard of her; | |
| Bill Evans Riverside Recordings Box Set is FINALLY IN STOCK!! I had a Riverside box set of the 1963 trio recordings with Scott Lafaro and Paul Motian and they were just all-right. Riverside left the mixes alone but cleaned things up however at PCM 16 bit/44.1 I opted to sell it for more than I paid for it an... | |
| I Mac or Streamer for source? or is there a difference? I used a Mac Mini combined with Audirvāna for years. I decided to try a Bryston BDP Pi / linear power supply to my DAC with a USB cable and that was better. For storage, I bought a SSD and I installed it into an empty case with a USB cable and plu... | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @curiousjim My experience has been that all streaming services are about the same. Please let us know what you find out and feel free to mention certain titles, thanks! | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @mapman if done right is a big if but yes, that’s a huge consideration when making a decision to purchase. | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @lalitk which is the very reason why I look at labels Qobuz and Tidal don’t have the rights to. For example Analogue Productions is releasing their remix/remaster of the Steely Dan catalogue. However, Walter and Donald already did remasters of the... | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @jbuhl So you've found a way for the Pi to work for you, which was something I was really interested in hearing about, thanks! | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @jbuhl All-right, not cheap but still within reach. Does it elevate audio quality to where it's equal to MPD? Also, I'm assuming you can now play DSD files via Roon when using the Sonic Transport? To be honest and it's a long way off but I'm rathe... | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @jbuhl So I take it that you bought a component from Roon or someone else that serves as the Roon Core and sounds better than your experience using a Mac computer? If so, it makes a good deal of sense to me that your experiencing better results wi... | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming Yeah, problem is that certain information about the remastering / recording process isn't usually available. Labels are not responsible in any way to be forthcoming about taking shortcuts or making compromises, you take your chances. Fortunately, ... | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @lalitk I don't know why you think that, the same level of compression happens on CD's and I'm guessing can occur with downloads, so my comment wouldn't indicate siding with one format or another. Compression is very real and often abused. So I'm ... | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @lalitk I come to find out also that many titles, even on major labels, are being hyper compressed. That would certainly negate any benefit from higher resolutions. | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @lalitk Thanks there's a lot on that post, probably much more than I need. I was asking for recommendations, not based on favorite music from an artistic slant but rather favorite streaming titles based on quality of sound. I have experienced what... |
