| Full MQA music list. Sorry guys, @jond ~ please keep us posted once you hear back from Tidal. PS: I have not experienced any buffering issues with Tidal. | |
| How important is component “aesthetics” to you? If you’re still looking for preamp, I would recommend checking out the ARC Foundation series. Aesthetix Claypso is not bad looking either. And yes, I do believe aesthetics should be the 2nd most consideration after the sound quality, IMHO. | |
| The longest you have owned any gear? My Raysonic CD128 player, 11 years now. It's been a absolute joy spinning my discs in this day and age of digital streaming. There is just something very 'sexy' about a player with top-loading operation. | |
| Streaming vs traditional +1, veroguy. Sonos connect sounds much better through its SPDIF output to a DAC vs. analog output to a preamp/processor. | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? @mmrkaic ~ And it cost nothing at all to be a first class ’Jerk’ | |
| Spotify vs. Apple Music vs. Google Play vs. Tidal: Which is Best For my listening, Tidal is a no brainer even with $20 subscriber fee. Based on all the current choices, I am going to always choose quality over quantity cause I don’t listen to my music on earphones. Tidal is the only streaming service offering h... | |
| Classe closes Montreal operations @yogiboy FWIW, All B&W speakers except 800 series are now made in China. The 800’s are still being made in England from ground up.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sel-EoCEeC4https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=V6r5SiiZbV8 | |
| Streaming vs traditional "The opportunities of man are limited only by his imagination" Peace out! | |
| Streaming vs traditional @willemj I think you’re missing the big picture. I am not saying MQA is better than a high resolution downloaded file. Let’s assume for our discussion that MQA and a high resolution downloaded audio files sounds the same. What about the end user c... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I have to a agree with Frank’s last post. Given the pedigree of @veerapaneni components, i am finding it hard to understand as well. I was able to hear immediate improvements over a stock fuse in my system. May be he was expectating improvements e... | |
| Streaming vs traditional "The blind test that I linked to suggests that there is little or on sonic difference between high resolution pcm and MQA"@willemj ~ The above assessment would be true if you’re comparing a audio file that has a higher sampling frequency and bit d... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... @veerapaneni I own ARC LS28, try inserting the fuse with 'SR' lettering pointing towards the chassis. As others have suggested, try both directions and let your ears determine the 'right' installation. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... @oregonpapa RE: Gold CD, I just cued up the album on Tidal. Very nice but I wouldn't pay $600 for a CD, no way. Do you own the Gold CD or LP? I wonder if SACD for $29 would be on par with the Gold CD. Someday I will try the SR Blue. I dropped $60... | |
| Dedicated Outlets - The Latest Recommendations +1 Furutech GTD-D Rhodium outlets. I am using these in my dedicated theater room and very pleased with the sound. Yes, they are expensive but well worth the price. Also they don’t damage the coating on your male AC plugs. If you going by the code,... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? @willgolf,Great to hear that you heard improvements with PADIS fuses. Please do post your findings with SR Blue fuses. I went with SR Black’s last month in my preamp / DAC and they were substantial upgrades over stock fuses. About directionality, ... |
