| Spotify HiFi As an audiophile, with subscriptions to Roon and Qobuz, unless Spotify while offer hires and be workable within Roon, I don’t need it. | |
| Unscrupulous ebay buyers eBay has deteriorated greatly since it was founded. There is zero seller protection. I don’t care what they say. They do not back it up. I don’t and won’t sell on eBay for that reason and others. I also rarely buy on eBay and certainly never buy a... | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC My contact at PS Audio tells me that an oscilloscope can pickup a little hum from the transformer. But there is no audible hum. I have a DSDMk2 on order. Trading in my DSDMk1. | |
| Buying Pet Peeve - Pictures @lou_setriodes I agree with you that good photos are important. I am a frequent buyer and seller on usaudiomart under a different username, and here on Audiogon. But sometimes when I post sale ads I am just busy, but I want to get the ad up. I wil... | |

| STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES I will add my input to all of those who preceded me. I am an avid user of Roon and yes, I compared Qobuz to Tidal and it became obvious in short order that I preferred Qobuz. My Tidal subscription was never renewed. Now the interesting test that I... | |
| HoloAudio STREAMER is out now @doni I am not fully knowledgeable regarding all the technicalities and differences. Someone else here may be better at explaining them. But I will give it a shot. Toslink is a unque optical protocol invented by Toshiba. Toslink cables are usual... | |
| HoloAudio STREAMER is out now This looks interesting because it supports NAA and therefore HQ Player. Not many streamers have that support. It also has Ethernet or USB to I2S conversion and output to a DAC with I2S inputs. It looks well built and all for about $800. Sounds ent... | |
