Tidal/OPPO streaming issue
Please, help me understand! I didn't think the app affected the sound quality whether Oppo MediaControl vs. mconnect lite. I thought the app only controls the song selection and the software in the Oppo player is responsible for receiving and deco...

@georgebenekos  I did what 2 others have suggested and downloaded the mconnect lite app which works fine, but it's "just different" and would prefer the oppo app back.

rosamiI'm in the same boat as you...very happy with my 3.6s. I have nearly pulled the trigger on a 3.7 purchase 2 times over the past few years but backed out at the last moment. I would love to hear them in my system before a purchase, but that w...

I agree with jazzman7 about using a stepping stone approach. I first seriously started in this hobby about 7 years ago when I purchased my CS3.6s. At the time, I had an Exposure 2010 integrated amp. Obviously, it was very evident that I needed mor...

rosamiYou speak as if you are helping resolve uncertainty with my dilemma.  For the past couple of years, I have been considering purchasing 2.4s to compare to my 3.6s, and my concerns are the same as yours. I am totally seduced by the low end of ...

tomthielit seems that the 2.4 crossover upgrades are pretty well finalized now and that a lot was learned regarding upgraded components and the effects on how the speakers sound. Since I own 3.6s, I’m interested in learning how much of the info ga...
