| Advice for Streaming Newbies - Best Bang for Our Bucks The Qobuz movement is strong here! I am just slightly miffed that I need to purchase an additional piece of software to actually use it, not supporting DLNA/UPNP is pretty disappointing (to me). I will give it a good go however, any recommendatio... | |
| Advice for Streaming Newbies - Best Bang for Our Bucks Great advice @badger_erich and something I definitely have in mind as time goes on. I'm not far behind you on the age front as I am rapidly closing in on my half-century. I've heard many good things about Lumin and I'm certainly curious about the... | |
| Advice for Streaming Newbies - Best Bang for Our Bucks So Qobuz on Windows doesn't support DLNA. To make it work I'd need a subscription to Audirvana or another application. This is the very definition of a rabbit hole! | |
| Advice for Streaming Newbies - Best Bang for Our Bucks One thing to note, if you subscribe to Qobuz via a web browser rather than the Android App, it is £3 per month cheaper! There's obviously a Google Play Store tax there. | |
| Advice for Streaming Newbies - Best Bang for Our Bucks I can certainly give Qobuz a try - nothing to lose. I will have to look into mconnect. @gdnrbob - my setup is detailed in the original post. However, this was intended to be less about me and more of a generic sharing of advice for all streaming... | |
| Advice for Streaming Newbies - Best Bang for Our Bucks @marco1 your response was absolutely not seen as being critical my friend. On the contrary! I've read elsewhere that the most money in a system should be devoted to speakers so I agree with you on that point! My speakers are rather lovely (to me... | |
| Advice for Streaming Newbies - Best Bang for Our Bucks Thanks @fuzztone. Interesting observation on the DAC. The Zen DAC has the same form factor as the Zen Stream and Zen Can so the PA5 is the aesthetic odd one out. I'm not looking at changing components just yet but if I did I'd probably lose the P... | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... Thanks @lalitk, I'm a fan of iFi Power so I will likely stick with them for the time being. I've just wired in the EE 8Swtich. I really didn't want this to be better, even a notch. But, I'll be keeping it. The only word I have is 'phenomenal'. ... | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... @lalitk, thank you for taking the time to reply, much appreciated. I'm sure I'll keep the Zen stack for at least six months, probably longer. Do you have any particular LPS's in mind to recommend that can power the Stream and DAC? I'm aware that... | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... Hi All, Great thread, it's rare for me to read every post! There are very few "it's all just 1's and 0's" comments too. Whilst I've never left music I have had a long hiatus from hi-fi but I'm now back and building up a pure digital system. I... |
