In the sand box
I like placebo sand mixed with some psychoacoustic pebbles.   Then a pure white quartz crystal directly over the amp's transformer. I also have a shaman come in and perform some cool looking stuff that aligns the polarity of the electrons.      
I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!!
@fpomposo  ......I've found the same thing.   I have the Eversolo A8.  The ripped CDs on the SSD is the best digital I've heard yet and better sounding than any streaming. So easy now to access the music. And I also found that WAVE sounds better t... 
I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!!
I find the same thing as fpomposo.  On my Eversolo A8 the ripped CDs on the internal SSD - in my case FLAC - sound markedly better than anything from Tidal and Qobuz,  even the high res stuff, and even the downloads.  There is more substance and d... 
“My Qobuz” and favorites suddenly missing in Qobuz
I hate the interface.  Way too complicated.   But I think that's true of all of them.  Even under favorites there are too many lists and stuff.      
If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it?
AI will do great things for us, like modeling new drugs (already happening), working out the tech of fusion energy (huge and already happening and a possible answer to the climate change/energy problem). Like fire that burned flesh but also raised...

I wish I could simplify the UI.  Remove stuff I don't use.

@mikhailark I don’t know but streaming, even on Qobuz, never sounds as good as the CD. And I’m not the only one saying so. And the problem is that I think most people buy these expensive streamers thinking they will sound just as good as CDs and t... 
HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS
I agree with fpomposo  regarding sound quality of streaming vs the local rip.   But yes, Knopfler sounds great.   And I like Bela Fleck and the Flecktones Cosmic Hippo and any Art of Noise for some audio fireworks.

Streaming is overhyped, along with streamers. It’s good in theory but it’s still not ready for prime audiophile sound time.  Despite what the mostly useless  measurements say.

Streaming - even at "CD quality"  just doesn't sound as good as local CD.   So if folks are expecting it to they will probably be disappointed.   https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=cd+vs+streaming+sound+quality   https://www.youtube....

I have the A8 and before this the Wiim mini and the pro. The problem is streaming in general. It just doesn’t sound as good as CDs.   Even on Qobuz. The CDs that I have ripped and in the internal SSD of the A8 sound great. Best digital sound I hav... 
Eversolo DMP-A8 vs iPhone plugged directly to integrated amp - why no difference?
I have the A8 and it’s the best sounding digital source I’ve ever had. Have all my CDs on the internal SSD. Makes for a very convenient way to access all my 400 or so CDs. High rez streaming from Qobuz sounds great. The DAC settings are subtle but... 
Digital LP’s
^Because it's higher rez and sounds better than cd.  
Digital LP’s
CDs are never high rez. They are constrained to 16/44 . LPs are usually mastered from 24/96 or higher, so at least have a chance at being true high rez. Everyone seems to miss this point. It matters a lot.  
Digital LP’s
@abnerjack Because it’s essentially the only way to get high resolution recordings into the house. The closest high rez digital gets is from places like Qobuz which streams some music at 24/196, and SACD and DVD audio which I believe is roughly th...
