| Qobuz Users Update? I just returned from a road trip, no issues streaming from Qobuz or Tidal iOS apps. | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? How about SHM-CD’s from Japan....they turn out to be nothing more than just clever marketing BS!!! | |
| Qobuz Users Update? +1, uberwaltz.i am waiting on Qobuz to catch up before I drop Tidal. With Qobuz streaming hi-res, MQA is no longer a ‘X’ factor. | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? “What got me thinking about this is that I was at one of the retailers I frequent, where I’ve spent quite a bit recently. He actually asked me to buy one of these (similar price, not these) and after I thought about it I was pretty insulted. Did h... | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? I suppose you tried this outlet cover and found to be completely useless.....do you have any measurements to substantiate your vote? What receptacle did you pair this cover with? | |
| Qobuz Users Update? No issues with streaming Tidal or Qobuz through my iPhone when I am traveling. +1, david_ten. I don’t know how someone can possibly rate Tidal CD SQ as 5/10. | |
| Bluesound Vault 2 Vault 2 cd drive is designed to rip cd’s only. While streaming quality is very good without an external DAC, the files stored on its internal drive sounds flat and dull to my ears. I highly recommend an external DAC if plan to playback ripped files. | |
| Most important technical aspects of speaker wires? Capacitance, inductance, etc... @alexb76I would consider OCC wire for your cable upgrade. There are quite a few cable manufacturers currently importing OCC bulk wire from Japan. The cable is inexpensive and sounds pretty amazing in any system regardless of the cost of the system... | |
| Qobuz Users Update? Qobuz has the best SQ among all the streaming services. As far as catalog goes, it really depends on each user preferences. I am currently subscribed to both Tidal and Qobuz. | |
| Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent Question for Valhalla 2 / Frey 2 or Tyr 2 owners, do you find speakers cables are the hardest cables to work with? I found them to be pretty stiff and possibly pose a bit of challenge in tight spaces. | |
| Stream quality: Spotify Connect = Airplay Mcintosh MX122 You should try CXN v2 with wired Ethernet Connection and see if it sounds better to your ears. Please do not use Airplay option. Use decent quality analog XLR cables to connect CXN with MX122. | |
| Stream quality: Spotify Connect = Airplay Mcintosh MX122 If you stay with Spotify streaming, I don’t think you can appreciate the difference in streaming sound quality with or without CXN v2. First off, Spotify taps out at 320kbps. Secondly the DAC in your MX122 is average at best. Both mediocre quality... | |
| How Come NO SACD (Stock) Players With Tube Output Stage? dusted1,Look at Ayon Audio CD-10 and CD35 players. SACD is a pretty much a dead format, very very few among us still buying the SACD’s. The sales of SACD’s nearly not enough to justify a steady stream of decent SACD players from manufacturers. Man... | |
| Sound quality issues streaming from Tidal vs CD You can achieve cd quality sound or better through streaming, both Tidal and Qobuz are great choices. I would say Pro-Ject Streambox S2 Ultra and cheap USB cable is the weak link. A component like Vitus deserves a high quality all purpose built au... | |
| Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent @nyev,Thanks for posting your feedback. You’re spot on with your assessment of Valhalla 2 and Frey 2’s. I believe Frey 2 sits at sweet spot within Nordost cable line. It seems Frey 2 offers 85% of Valhalla 2’s performance. Have you thought of mix ... |
