Eversolo Flagship DMP -8 - Dac Streamer Server Preamp- A True Audiophile Bargain
I've had the DMP-A8 for a couple of weeks now to see if it could replace the Bluesound Vault 2i.  So far I'm not really impressed.  I had been considering the T&A as well but thought I could do (almost) as well with the DMP-A8.  The BluOS app ...

@signaforce Can you tell me your final thought process on the 150? I know its probably above somewhere but this was apparently a hot topic and the thread is getting quite long. I’ve been reading really nice reviews for the Eversolo 6 and 8, and t...

I'm looking at the Eversolo DNP-A8 as a possible upgrade to my Bluesound Vault 2.  I currently use an ethernet connection to my Vault > McIntosh 352 amp > tower speakers.  The vault does'nt seem to go much above CD quality so I recenlty got ...

Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz
@bipod72   This is where I got annoyed at both Bluesound and Tidal.  They are very careful with their wording on this issue.  I had to email them both multiple times to get a straight answer.  They seem to be intentionally misleading.   Tidal is... 
Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz
Except Spotify / Tidal are not hi res.  Only Qobuz is high res flac.  Qobuz also has many cd quality options that are not hi res flac. Tidal is mqa, which many say is not really hi res, Which is why they went to flac (on some recordings) but only ... 
Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz
@bipod72 Yes, but you're not getting the highest audio resolution.  Qobuz has h res flac, and the Tidal Connect app does, but not regular Tidal.   I can stream Tidal and Qobuz direct to my Bluesound and the phone is merely a remote.  But to get h...

Where can you buy the Denefrips?    
Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz
@yage I've been emailing Tidal and Bluesound for days now and it appears the only way to get flac is through the Tidal Connect app and not the Bluesound app that is imbedded in the Vault.    The BluOS integrated in the Vault is limited to mqa.  Bu... 
Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz
@eagledriver_22  The Bluesound Vault has an ethernet port for connecting directly to the router.  But the only way to get the Tidal flac is through the Tida Connect App and not the BluOS app.  Theres no way to directly connect my android phone or... 
Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz
@gkelly I admit I bought the Niagara without knowing the diff between the PC and a LPS.  Can you give me a simple explanation between the two?  
Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz
Ive been emailing Tidal support and Bluesound support for clarification.  It seems like the BluOS app only streams Tidal as high as mqa and the only way to get flac from Tidal is through the Tidal CONNECT app and NOT the BluOS app.  So I can strea... 
Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz
@gkelly I did demo the Rose 150, but I was in the middle of changing the entire system - amp, pre, speakers, t table etc, so maybe I didn't give the Rose a fair chance.  Since then I have done more research and it seems like much of the hype aroun... 
Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz
@yage Honestly I'm not sure if its wifi or Bluetooth.  But its still wireless flac vs the mqa direct wired streaming when I use the ethernet to the Vault.  So I think wired mqa is still better than wireless flac.  But maybe we need an audio engine... 
Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz
  @chocaholic Thanks for pointing out the original question.  I agree that it seems counter productive to use Bluetooth. I know that you can listen to Qobuz and Tidal through the BluOS app, but I think you can only stream mqa through the BleOS ap...
