News: Qobuz Hi-Res platform's debut is scheduled for this October. See Qobuz Links below
Yes!  Great news.  As much as I love Tidal Hi Fi's sound quality, it's horrible search features, playlists and everything geared toward Hip Hop is annoying.  Come on Qobuz, steal the spotlight.  :) 
Newbie with Tidal question.
@n80  Not a knock on you but with your current set up, it sounds like Tidal Hi Fi isn't worth the extra cash.Depending on how resolving your system is (amp and speakers), the next logical step is probably an external DAC if you wanted to utilize w... 
What speakers work well against a wall
I’m also recommending Audio Notes. I run the AN E’s. The ability to run them against the wall is just icing on the cake, not a compromise in any way.  That's part of the reason their presentation is unlike most speakers.  My biggest audio regret i... 
Time for an all in one streaming solution
@audioengr Makes perfect sense, will do.  Thanks again.   
Time for an all in one streaming solution
Thank you @david_ten and @spinaker01 Thanks for the suggestions gents. @audioengr Thank you for that info.  I have actually run across your post there a few times over the last year or so.  Very nice unit but is out of my budget.  I ended up purch... 
Time for an all in one streaming solution
Thanks again for the information! I am now spending a bit more money but have decided to upgrade my DAC (Trying out an LKS MH-DA004) and purchase a Cambridge CNX just for control of internet streaming and its damn good looks. 
Time for an all in one streaming solution
@jond Absolutely agreed on the interface and usability!  
Time for an all in one streaming solution
@jond I’ve also contemplated just picking up the Cambridge CXN streamer and running it to my Chord 2Qute as you can run an external DAC with them. They are a very good looking unit with a nice user interface.Ideally I would love to gain another le... 
Time for an all in one streaming solution
@jond Thanks for the info. I will be running a wired connection.Great to hear from someone else with Audionotes. I have wondered if there would be much for sonic differences between say a Aries or Aurender because they both end up going through th... 
EL34 in triode vs 300B/845 SET
@hifineubee Beautiful amp. Best of luck! 
Space Tech ASX 103 Virtual Subwoofer
@roxy54 No problem. I know I'm starting to sound like a salesman here. Lol. Interestingly enough, Space Tech is actually only a few hours from me although I've never been.  
EL34 in triode vs 300B/845 SET
@hifineubee Have you considered the Line Magnetic 508ia? 805 tubes driven off 300B’s. 48 watts/channel of SET goodness, cheaper and is preferred to the LM 219ia in some circles. (Greater dynamics, stronger bass)But then again, probably not the mos...

Space Tech ASX 103 Virtual Subwoofer
@roxy54  After using this unit, I would never run external subs again.  You can tune it to have the bass seamlessly integrated to enhance your music or soundstage subtly/cleanly or turn it up enough to create room lock level bass.In my system, onc... 
Is the Raspberry Pi with Allo DigiOne the Ideal SPDIF transport?
From my research and experience, it is a huge bargain!  I recently switched from a MacBook Pro running Audirvana to the Allo DigiOne SPDIF output (No upgraded PS, the jury still seems to be out on the benefits of it).I've only got about 100 hours ...
