| Tidal vs Hi Res Files vs CD vs “Netflix”. My test. Incredible! Hey @classdstreamer Very good and interesting info.I've got similar results using Ethernet vs WiFi, not big difference, but noticeable. I also think that using a better streamer, not too expensive, like Bluesound, will give you another significan... | |
| Tidal vs Hi Res Files vs CD vs “Netflix”. My test. Incredible! Hello @dtximages I'm not streaming music from Netflix, I've just compared some two songs you can hear from a couple of movies on Netflix vs the same songs on the Soundrtrack albums from Tidal. | |
| Tidal vs Hi Res Files vs CD vs “Netflix”. My test. Incredible! Well, Im not an expert, but I understand bits are transmitted on packages that are then checked for errores with a protocol.Thats fine to copy files from one point to another without a time line to cover. I understand that when some packages dont ... | |
| Tidal vs Hi Res Files vs CD vs “Netflix”. My test. Incredible! Yes George, for me the CD sound quality came second on every test. I know that a good audiophile CD player will improve the sound A LOT, but I'm pretty sure that a good streamer will also be a BIG step up from the computer. So I guess it could be ... | |
| Tidal vs Hi Res Files vs CD vs “Netflix”. My test. Incredible! Well, I did the tests suggested, but I could only get one to function:1- Toslink vs I2S from the Gustard U16 to my DAC. I've got no music from my DAC, sometimes nothing and sometimes only static. The U16 has a buggy firmware and we all (the users)... | |
| Tidal vs Hi Res Files vs CD vs “Netflix”. My test. Incredible! @spenrock my USB rig (as my DAC, preamp and power amp) use AC treatment (a Filter and a DC Blocker) so I dont think it should be any ground hum. On the other hand, if a system gets more accourate, it’s true that it will show more easily the flaws ... | |
| Tidal vs Hi Res Files vs CD vs “Netflix”. My test. Incredible! @classdstreamer that´s a good option. Nevertheless, I think it will be worse as the I2S input of the Audio-GD R8 DAC is known to be the best input, as it is on almost any other Audio-GD and other brands DACs.Also, all the USB conditioners are conn... | |
| Tidal vs Hi Res Files vs CD vs “Netflix”. My test. Incredible! If its that, I dont know why Tidal doesnt use some similar effect.But I still believe it is better digital signal processing on the TV than on the computer for two reasons:1. I don't think adding some effect like surround will sound natural. The s... | |
| Tidal vs Hi Res Files vs CD vs “Netflix”. My test. Incredible! By the way, in fact my experience with Dirac is that it makes the sound flatter, less 3D. I don't know how, but somehow it affects the spatial cues on the signal and the deepness of the soundstage.A friend of mine, who has a small boutique factory... | |
| Tidal vs Hi Res Files vs CD vs “Netflix”. My test. Incredible! I think USB output is good enough and better than optical, BUT the computer sends a very corrupted USB signal.I think its not the transport (USB vs Toslink), but a source problem (Computer vs another sources).@murtazao I used Digital EQ (Dirac) an... | |
| Tidal vs Hi Res Files vs CD vs “Netflix”. My test. Incredible! @david_ten Yes WiFi sounds worse "on my Computer" than Ethernet. NOT by a big margin, but noticeable. I haven't tried Ethernet with the TV because I would have to run a long ethernet cable, wich I dont have, and the TV is hanged from the wall and... | |
| Tidal vs Hi Res Files vs CD vs “Netflix”. My test. Incredible! Hello guys,My answers by topic:1- I've been listening and improving my system for a considerably long time and when I refer to "better" sound, I don't mean coloured, but more accurate. By that I mean issues that I believe cannot be coloured or "in... | |
| Tidal vs Hi Res Files vs CD vs “Netflix”. My test. Incredible! Hello guys, thanks for the response. @sameyers1. Yes, I've tried running the Notebook with only its battery and I dont hear any noticeable difference. I will try again just to be sure. On the other hand, if I connect the USB output of my Notebook ... | |
| Tidal vs Hi Res Files vs CD vs “Netflix”. My test. Incredible! Well, in my case, the differences were easily detectable, but they are not big enough to force me to leave streaming (Tidal). Evenmore, MQA sounded better, for me and in my system, than my CD player, wich is truly a relief! Even though MQA catalo... | |
| Dealers and exaggerated treble I've been in a Bang & Olufsen dealer once and he showed me, for some minutes, their BeoLab 90 active speakers, ones that cost about 80.000 euros, and the sounded very bad, what a dissapointment. The whole system costed more than 100k euros and... |
