| Qobuz or Tidal? Was using Tidal for a couple of years. Have since switched to Qobuz. It's noticeably better. Not a great fan of MQA. Like the increasing Hi Res titles as well. | |
| DAC Questions If looking for a good DDC, the Audio GD DI-20HE is well worth a look. | |
| CDs: FLAC v ALAC (v Digital Download) I remember reading discussions a few years ago. A few thought there was a minute improvement using Flac over Alac when ripping CDs. I'm guessing no difference using my CDs over the same pressing from Qobuz? | |

| Good read: why comparing specifications is pointless Well Amir, I hadn't expected your arrogance. Your assumptions are unpalatable. I consider you a fool and us at opposite ends of the audio spectrum. Your blather has no effect, and I ignore your opinions forthwith, measured or not. Btw, my s... | |
| Good read: why comparing specifications is pointless I’ve only been in this audio game for 46 years, Amir. What annoys most are two things: 1. Absolutes, with no tolerance for possibilities. Things are this way, the earth is flat etc. 2. Those who emphatically believe my experience is invalid, an... | |
| Good read: why comparing specifications is pointless Why would you even bother coming here Amir? Anything you say bears no weight in any way to my audio choices. We are at polar opposites of how to choose equipment. You have your loyal followers on ASR. I don’t go on there and criticise your belie... |
