| Quboz, any firm US launch date posted anywhere ? I read somewhere -- on these fora, perhaps? -- that someone out at RMAF had been told that the U.S. rollout would be coming in November. Tried to find this using the search function, but couldn't find anything. Thus, I'd suggest taking my post wit... | |

| Qobuz Coming to America Soon! If the prices in the linked article are correct, Qobuz is going to cost less than what had been previously reported. It would be just $5 more per month than Tidal, or just $10 more for a full year if one pays upfront. Color me interested. Betcha l... | |
| Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ or Schiit Yggdrasil? Oopsie -- forgot to include the link to the Stereophile review I referenced above. It's here:https://www.stereophile.com/content/holoaudio-spring-kitsuné-tuned-edition-level-3-da-processor | |
| Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ or Schiit Yggdrasil? You may (or may not) find this recent piece from Stereophile's Herb Reichart of interest. (On Page 2, there's a bit about Mytek and Schiit DACs.)-- Howard | |
| Grammatical Errors in Recorded Music... There's a difference, I'd suggest, between plain old bad writing -- like the bit by The Doors I cited above -- and something done for effect. No one hearing Dylan sing "I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more" would be led to believe by the do... | |
| Grammatical Errors in Recorded Music... From "L.A. Woman" by The Doors, there's this howler:"If they say I never loved youYou know they are a liar"Even when I was a kid this one made me shake my head-- Howard. | |
| Using an LG V30 smartphone as a source component Isn't it funny that we're having this discussion about an LG phone rather than an iPhone? We're having it, of course, because Apple has been standing still while others work to push forward.Here was Steve Jobs, quoted in Walter Isaacson's biograph... | |
| Mytek Brooklyn vs manhattan There's a dealer that advertises on Audiogon offering a 45-day trial period (and free shipping) on Mytek products. Here's a link to one such ad:https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis8i867-new-mytek-brooklyn-dac-mqa-dac-head-amp-preamp-phono-free...... | |
| Looks like Tidal is doomed! The last line of the story you linked to:"Nevertheless, what the future holds for Tidal remains to be seen – but at this point the company has a lot of bad PR to fix at the least."Which would suggest, to me, at least, that saying: "Looks like Tida... | |
| Tidal does not post the cost to buy a song or an album on their site On Tidal, one doesn't actually buy songs. If you wish to download a song, or an album, for offline listening, you can. But once you are no longer a Tidal subscriber, those recordings are no longer available. As such, it's more akin to renting than... | |
| How to contact Mytek Digital Yes. Thanks! | |
| Trouble in Fleetwood Mac....... It's telling that they'll be replacing him with two guitarists. | |
| How can I tell if I need a better clock for my DAC? Thanks for asking this question. I was just about to post something similar. If one has a decent CD player -- say, for example, a Rega Apollo CDP -- is jitter an issue, or is it safe to assume that the manufacturer has dealt with this in making ... | |
| Please suggest bookshelf with best bass response under $4000 pr. I'd check out the Dynaudio Confidence C1. I heard a pair once, and was absolutely astonished that so much deep, controlled bass could come from such a (relatively) small stand-mount. |
