| If Steely Dan had a different vocalist I've binged on Steely Dan and Donald Fagan's solo efforts since the early 70's. Dunno how I missed out on Monkey House! Thanks for the "heads up"! | |
| Qobuz Connect working Beta demonstration....yay! Now we wait for streamer support. Years ago when I had Spotify, Spotify Connect worked great.

| All Hail the meek --yet mighty – NODE 2i I've been using a 2i for 4 years now. I'd been running it with an external DAC and was quite pleased. Last fall I got a open box N130 for under $200. I haven't tried a different PS yet, but I did a an audio quest power cable to the mix. The N13... | |

| A listening test of two power amps Much a do about nothing IMHO...sorry. What an incredible amount of trouble to go to to make a comparison between two amplifiers that does not necessarily align with real world sq and whether or not one sounds better to the listener or not. | |
| FYI - QOBUZ SERVICES WILL BE TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE The time mentioned would have been a midnight..Central time. I just got around to checking at 1:20 AM, and Qobuz is running just fine. Outage must have been short-lived. | |
| Differences in YouTube, Spotify, etc. Started out with Spotify... Lower res was OK in car or on a Bluetooth speaker, but the low music quality grated on my ears when listening on my stereo. Tidal was OK, in spite of lossy MQA garbage. For me, Tidal connect was erratic and forced me t... | |
