| Streamer Software Hi @stefanheisl normally we don’t look to kindly upon vendors hawking their wares here, and in this cases reviving a 3 year old thread for the purpose, but improving streaming software is an important topic. I listen to Classical, much of wh... | |
| My PerfectWave dac is working! It doesn’t seem like a dilemma to me. The DAC worked with a different integrated amp. You never tried anything else with your new separates and somehow decided to blame the DAC, but if the phono preamp also is producing no sound, then the proble... | |
| Jean Sibelius Recordings The Davis Boston series is very strong. I prefer it to the LSO cycle . I have the Ormandy, and the Philadelphia Orchestra was great in Sibelius.. I agree that the Makela cycle is very good, would like to hear what he does with Sibelius in anothe... | |
| My PerfectWave dac is working! have you tried another digital source into the dac besides the CA Transport? A streamer, or a CD Player, or even a television? The first step would be to see if the DAC works with other digital sources. If it does then the issue must be the CA... | |
| What's up with the Rega Apollo CD player? I owned the Apollo when it first came out. It was one of the first players that would put the first 10 seconds or so of a track in a memory and the scan it for errors before playing it. Unfortunately it rejected a slew of discs that played fine ... | |
| What's up with the Rega Apollo CD player? +1@oldaudiophile And then not have to worry about parts being discontinued | |
| Cambridge CXN V2 or Innuos Pulse Mini? I wrote a post that seems to have got lost in the ether. I have the CA and used to own the Node. The CA is much better SQ. The apps are comparable. Chromecast and AirPlay are nice features. You can use the DAC with other digital sources. You... | |
| Why limit yourself to one streaming service? I use streaming primarily to screen recordings for purchase, so having two services wouldn't make much sense. I switched from Qobuz to Apple because my wife wanted to stay with Apple and Apple is cheaper and "good enough" sonically. I have also ... | |
| Qobuz dropping rights to my favorites. A pox on their house (resubmit) Can some Moderator merge the two threads? | |
| Qobuz dropping rights to my favorites. A pox on their house. @mspot +2 Before I started streaming I had read many articles cautioning that the problem of deletions could be significant. I also use streaming primarily to explore new releases that I previously would have purchased and played perhaps tw... | |
| Is a highly discerning system enjoyable? Most early pop music was mixed for car or jukebox listening. Listening to a Phil Spector production on a fancy rig never does right to me. That’s not the fault of the system | |
| Looking for recommendations for new receiver Yamaha gets high marks for making dialogue intelligible. Anthem for all around immersive. Are your priorities music or video? Given your current space limitations I would opt for Yamaha. If you move in 5 years and decide you would prefer Anthem th... | |
| When CDs first came onto the market in 1982 ....... @ozymandias_ You are mistaken. Increased dynamic range, clarity, blacker backgrounds, lack or surface noise, no dust bunnies in the styli, no warped lps (the vinyl quality of the era was particularly bad). I couldn’t wait to switch to digital | |
| Bluetooth vs Turntable Recommendations @jjbeason14 The Bluesound Node is a frequently recommended streamer, but I am not sure about its Bluetooth capabilities. I haven’t heard the current version of the Node, but the Node2 was using an older Bluetooth codec that sounded muffled... |
