| Stepping into streaming, finally Yes, selecting the streaming device. Staccato, currently. | |
| Stepping into streaming, finally In all instances Tidal was controlled from Tidal app, using ether phone or laptop. The Staccato uses Tidal and Spotify apps. | |
| Stepping into streaming, finally @audphile1 Tidal, as well as Spotify, were streamed through Staccato. So, it was Tidal connect. Right? | |
| Stepping into streaming, finally I would think it was Tidal connect, I had subscription for highest tier. | |
| Stepping into streaming, finally @audphile1 I am using coax Audioquest Cinnamon. The other option is toslink, but I do not have cable on hand to play with this one and remember that when I had Wiim and tried toslink, granted the one supplied with Wiim so might had been of not gre... | |
| Which Vintage CD Player To Use As A Transport? No, it is not a good idea, based on my experience. I switched from Arcam 192 being used as a transport some time ago and the difference versus Cambridge CXC was enormous, since than I climbed the ladder higher, but this is different story. | |
| Stepping into streaming, finally Well, I have devoted today to ABC comparison in a serious way, I think. Here is what I found. CDs outperforming Staccato after all, mostly in soundstage region. My original assessment must have been due to being greatly surprised by how much bett... | |

| Stepping into streaming, finally Bluetooth for controlling the Staccato by phone. The streaming is done via ethernet. I can control the Staccato using computer being signed to Spotify that I subscribe to. | |
| on the cheap @goofyfoot for couple hundred bucks (OP’s budget)?! | |
| Stepping into streaming, finally @audphile1 Yes, that's the one. @hilde45 So, what are you trying to say? | |
| Best investment; cartridge or line stage? That's what I was suspecting, Rega Ania. I think in this scenario it would be wiser to upgrade the cartridge. Sutherland, I think, is in higher league than Ania. |
