| Best Classical Labels for Sound @richardbrand Before I got a Streamer I used my MacBook to stream Qobuz using WiFi and periodically I would experience a signal drop and have to reselect the track. Now with an Ethernet wired connection to my streamer that never happens. A solid... | |
| Best Classical Labels for Sound @richardbrand I use my ears. I have my CD library which I ripped stored on my Internal drive in the streamer. So that’s what was on the CD. I then Stream the same Album on Qobuz and can easily compare. No difference. Qobuz is $10-11 per month to... | |
| Best Classical Labels for Sound @richardbrand I had great success purchasing and downloading my purchases from Presto. But now with an excellent streamer and Qobuz I just stream everything. The quality is equal to my downloads and ripped CDs and the selection is staggeringly c... | |
| Best Classical Labels for Sound @ddgtt Sorry I always get those two labels mixed up. Yes Challenge Classics is the one I meant and the one with great Prokofiev Symphony series. | |
| Best Classical Labels for Sound @jsalerno277 I listened to the opening work on Borders on the 2L label. I agree, fantastically realistic recordings excellent transparency, great soundstage with depth and very well balanced with smooth open highs and deep low end. Plus the musi... | |
| Best Classical Labels for Sound @jsalerno277 Thanks I will try that. I also use the Aurender app. | |

| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? I agree with the Benchmark comments. Owned the DAC 3 and found it cold and clinical. More than the D to A conversion the DAC needs a clean Analog output. That’s what separates the best from the good. | |
| Best Classical Labels for Sound @whart Yes my interest is in Digital recordings. I had an LP collection similar to yours but sold it in the late 90s. For Classical music I definitely prefer modern digital recordings. | |
| Best Classical Labels for Sound @mahler123 I agree the digital remastered versions are better. The Walter Beethoven Symphonies with the Columbia Symphony (an in house group) are very nice. | |
| Best Classical Labels for Sound @mahler123 Columbia Classical recordings have been unlistenable to me since my vinyl days. In agree on Analekta and Savall. Don’t get me wrong I do like some BIS recordings. I especially like their Glazunov Symphony series. | |
| Best Classical Labels for Sound @mahler123 I do like the BIS label but find them very inconsistent and they can tend to be bright and rather thinner in body. But when they get it right they are very good. And yes there are many smaller labels producing excellent recordings. Bu... | |
| The End of My Search for a Power Conditioner @choiceaudio Whitley the new Gemini sounded good from day one it slowly improved over several weeks. It needs time to fully open up. |
