| Tidal WiFi not as good as cd Tidal sound excellent on my rig. Window10 tower JCAT FEMTO USB card, AR Ref 6, dCS bartok with hardware MQA decoding. I also have Jriver with 24bit files. The same 24bit on TIDAL is just as good. Very pleased with it. | |

| Another help me spend money thread or maybe not.... going to AXPONA Listened to an expensive box speaker today, $40k. Maybe its me... the demo was great, fast dynamic bass, very clear. now the but... it was more pinpoint imaging which I am not used to.
