| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. If Tidal offers same album: 44.1/16 and 96/24 (MQA). I will stream MQA. Of course, all through delta-sigma DAC. If I had a very good R2R dAC (16 or 20 bit), then I would try native R2R. I don't know if there is an affordable 24bit R2R DAC yet. | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. I think hi resolution music 96/24 file for same remaster will sound better than red book 44.1/16 on the same delta-sigma DAC. Of couse, 44.1/16 will sound very natural from R2R compare to 96/24 on delta-sigma. | |
| MQA is Legit! not until 96/24 or even DSD streaming become available. | |
| MQA is Legit! I played 2L MQA samples from Tidal. It says original file size is 384Khz/24bit. Most MQA is 96Khz/24bit. Hi rate sample music definite is more involving and dynamic. I would say close to SACD disc. I am using Oppo205 MQA hardware decoding. Many an... | |
| OPPO Sonica DAC to Lumin D2 Upgrade Trade Sonica to Oppo 205. Then you can stream Tidal MQA using 205 MQA decoder. You would get 192/24 or 176/24 from Oppo. The oppo Oppo runs at black market for $2500 (doubled from origingal $1200 MSRP) | |
| Beware of SACD Transports -- they probably will not work with your favorite DAC You can convert SACD to *.iso file. Then using Foobar2000 together with Oppo105 USB DAC in to play SACD. Uncomprssed and super HiFi. | |
| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. used Oppo 95,105,205 + used Bryston 9B-ST. use Oppo build in volume control and directly link to Bryston. | |
| Beware of SACD Transports -- they probably will not work with your favorite DAC No DSD can be sent uncompressed over digital cable. Get an SACD player by Sony ES series or Oppo Blueray SACD combo. | |
| Improving streaming SQ I can't hear difference of CAT5 CAT6 or Wifi. But PC unfolding MQA makes big difference. | |
| Has any inexpensive Asian DAC manufacturer harnessed the ESS Sabre ES9038PRO Chip? Oppp Sonica DAC/Streamer. $799 MSRP. No MQA. | |
| Anyone streaming Tidal via their Oppo UDP-203? 203,5 will not have Tidal App and Netflix build in. Only 105 has. | |
| Getting close to giving up on CD's keep your CD and subscribe to Tidal. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report TIDAL | |
| multichannel sacd 5.0 to be exactly. | |
| Thiel Owners Classical music and chamber music. I have more than 1000 SACDs combined with Netflix 5.1 movies. I am using three thiel 2.2 for the main and two .5 for the rear. Ideal would be five Thiel 2.2s for the complete SACD 5.0 system. But nothing is perfe... |
