| The Who (Deluxe) If anyone needs proof that The Who died long ago, read this article:https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/who-new-album-new-tour-townshend-daltrey-913902/ And then watch the 1979 documentary, "The Kids Are Alright," not the Hollywood m... | |
| PCM and DSD and MQA server Yes there are plenty of easy to use streamers, servers and combos available. Qobuz (hi-rez no MQA) and Tidal (MQA) offer free one month trials. You might want to check them out first to see if you need MQA decoding and rendering first.Your gear ... | |
| The Who (Deluxe) I am also of the opinion that The Who were over when Keith Moon died. The Who are like The Beatles, replace a member and it's not the same group.I understand that Townshend and Daltrey put out enjoyable albums and do good shows but they are not t... | |
| New upper trim level Corvette or seven year old used amps? Nice to put things into proper perspective. If you don't spend your money someone else will. Enjoy! | |
| SACD vs DSD Files Here is a thread that includes a list of players that can rip SACDs:https://hifihaven.org/index.php?threads/rip-sacd-with-a-blu-ray-player.3652/ It is not an easy process if you are not computer knowledgeable. Good Luck! | |
| SACD vs DSD Files Sound quality will vary from file to file or disc to disc also. Some excellent, some not so good. | |
| SACD vs DSD Files Both SACDs and DSD files can provide excellent sound. There might be differences between the way each sounds in your system based on the chain of gear each goes through before it is converted to analog.The disc spinner or server used to play the ... | |
| Another Analog v. Digital Thread? Not Really The Oppo 205 is nowhere near a really good digital player. | |
| Great Qobuz streamer. Upgrade from Bluesound Node 2 nekoaudio how is the Lumin app with Android devices? I had a Lumin a couple of years ago but couldn’t get the Android app to work very well. Has it caught up with the Apple app? | |
| CD sound quality: original pressings vs regular remaster vs MFSL, etc optimize, I almost included the road noise point in my post, but felt I had gone on long enough. You’re right, the car is a good place for lower dynamic range recordings. I don’t think the OP wants to upgrade his album collection for use in his ca... | |
| CD sound quality: original pressings vs regular remaster vs MFSL, etc georgehifi has brought up one of the factors to consider. George is a dynamic range true believer. He always likes the release with the greatest dynamic range. There is nothing wrong with that.Dynamic range is the difference between the loudest an... | |
| CD sound quality: original pressings vs regular remaster vs MFSL, etc Yes it does matter. There are good and bad sounding 80s cds, remasters and hi-res versions of most of the albums you're looking for. There are quite a few pressings of most popular albums and there is no simple rule to determine which is best. S... | |
| Grimm findings on streaming audio Hi nonoise, Watermarking does sound bad, but while I hear a difference between streamed music and cds, I don't hear the fluttering. Would you post a link to that interview? I'd like to read it although it's probably over my head too.Here is an a... | |
| Volume Wars-- Are things improving, getting worse, or status quo? The Loudness Wars are still raging but you can find exceptions. The Steven Wilson Remixes of some of the big prog-rockers (ELP, Yes, King Crimson, Jethro Tull) are considered to be tastefully done with good dynamic range. Steven Wilson is a contem... | |
| Diving into the world of tubes...help needed! branden, The Vincent integrated you are considering is a solid state amp. I think the tubes are in the preamp stage of the integrated. That's not a bad way to introduce tubes into your system, but if you want a tube amplifier you might want to ... |
