Qobuz Skipping or Short Pauses
@fuzztone your comment was, ‘there is no excuse running wifi into a streamer’, that comment seemed general, hence my general response. No idea what your reply is about given the above.   
Qobuz Skipping or Short Pauses
@edcyn I had an issue with ‘Dark side of the moon’ on Qobuz through my Auralic app, it wasn’t all gapless, but the Tidal version through the Auralic app was playing gapless. I’ve never had this issue before and the last issue with Qobuz (different... 
Your sub experience: Easy or hard?
I have a cheaper sub (Gallo Acoustics TR3) which I enjoyed setting up with my Spendor D7.2s. Before that I just didn’t have the low end in the room, with the sub it filled out the sound how I like it. Took a few days of moving it around, getting u... 
Spendor D9.2 Run In
I have the D7.2s and I bought them for their midrange. To me, vocals and instruments sound wonderful, and music that is subtle sounds as engaging as tracks with more tempo and energy. I listen to a huge range of music genres, and most sound superb...

YBA make them, both in CD player and transport varieties at different budget levels.  
Favorite religious song
‘Bethel Music - Pieces (Spontaneous) Live’ ‘Mary did you know’ - there’s loads of good versions of this

I can also advise just to listen to them and watch them change, I found that quite enjoyable. You’ll enjoy them out of the box, but you’ll notice over time some changes for the better and I think that’s part of the journey. Trying to break them in... 
The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same?
@markahall I’d be very interested in your findings once you hear the mola mola, against the previous DACs mentioned. I too own the ARIES G2.1 and at some stage wish to upgrade from the internal dac of the Hegel H390, Chord and Mola Mola were on th... 
I wonder what you would think if we scheduled a monthly Zoom Meeting?
I live in the UK and have been looking for audio clubs to join where I can either meet up or take part in online meetings just to talk about hifi. I couldn’t find any, perhaps I don’t know where to look, but it’s what led me to join this site. I w... 
Aurender Conductor latest fail…
It is always enjoyable when people that hate Apple, get so offended when other people choose to use their products. It’s cool, you don’t like Apple, but I happen to much prefer the user interface than android. I don’t see people bashing android to... 
Aurender Conductor latest fail…
I know this is an Aurender thread, but I had the same issue begin with my Auralic Lightning DS two days ago and logged it. It was only for Qobuz albums however, Tidal was working fine. Today I can access them fine except for one, which happened to... 
Let me explain something to you jive turkeys.
I’ve not read any of the comments, I simply wanted to say this OP has articulately made a very good point, thank you for making it.  
streamer Lumin U1 or Aries G2.1
I own the ARIES G2.1 and absolutely love it. The app is superb and the connection to wifi has never failed me, which was a big part of my streaming needs. It’s built like a tank, and does everything I need from it with no fuss, which again is a ma... 
Is it me? Will I ever be satisfied?
It sounds to me like you need time with your system. This hobby is a lot more subtle than we expect, a new system must go ‘crash, bang wallop’ for it to impress, but that isn’t what a capable system does. It took me a few months to fully appreciat... 
Amir and Blind Testing
Reading through this I was agreeing with the original question, in that if we are testing gear then we are listening with our brain not heart, so of course everything would sound good. However, @whipsaw then made a great point about a component we...
