| Downloads Versus Streaming There's been mention regarding certain files on Qobuz that equal or surpass files stored on a hard drive. I'd be interested in knowing which files those are. What streaming titles are your favorites? Thank you again to all those who've shared. | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @jjss49 Will you tell us what you did to reach this level of streaming quality? | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming Streaming is very convenient and the quality is obviously precarious based on equipment, cables, etc… If I were to continue buying downloads and CD’s, I wouldn’t be depriving myself. I’m really curious however about the future of streaming and whe... | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming 😎 I’m listening to a DSD download of Bill Evan’s ‘Waltz For Debbie’. Its hard to believe a fifty nine year old recording from a night club could sound this amazing. Glad I spent the money! | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @jbuhl I was using an M1 Mac Mini. | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @grannyring & @verdantaudio Thanks for sharing your comparisons. What about a DSD comparison with high resolution files? For me, DSD sounds better than any other format. Good remasters also produce favorable results. @jbuhl I appreciate heari... | |

| Downloads Versus Streaming @lalitk my SSD is in a box and connected to the PI via USB cable. I was thinking about a better USB from the SSD to the Pi but in a way, that makes no sense. | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @lalitk I'm happy with the Wireworld but I'm also using an ISO Regen with LP1 and that adds an improvement to my DAC from the comparisons that I've done with or without. I also have an XLR Akiko tuning stick in the DAC and I am happy with that. M... | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @kota1 I'm using something like the eau2. Which piece did you buy? | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @lalitk Yes, I have a Linear Power Supply attached to my Pi. I do not have Ethernet filters. I’m using a Wireworld Platinum Starlight USB cable from the Pi to my DAC. | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming Not sure why CD’s would be preferable to a download unless that person had a disc spinner. | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @kota1 really, that close comparatively. My streaming sounds a bit thinner and brighter. There’s also more distortion. |
