| Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday Thanks for the post! I connected iPad app and PC desktop app last night. Way smoother than any other remote app. Now if Qobuz would update firmware so JPLY FEMTO driver would sync up. | |
| Hlep chosing a streamer/server for my DAC Looked it up, Gustard A26 supports Roon and UPNP. JPLAY is a UPNP controller. Therefore you should be able to plug the internet directly into your A26 and use Roon or JPLAY to control Qobuz on your iPad. I’m sure yiur AI assistant can explain h... | |
| Hlep chosing a streamer/server for my DAC All good brand recommendations above. However, consider this, drop a DDC in between your MAC and the A26 DAC, reclocks the stream signal. Gustard U18 DDC is $499., USB to DDC, I2S to DAC. Then download Qobuz app (and subscription) to your MAC, ... | |
| Speakers for leading edge, transients, speed and big sound Wow! Wish I had that budget! +1 Klipsch Jubilee, Volti Audio, Altec VoT, JBL Everest. Synergy important, especially at that level. Amp, tube, SS, Hybrid? Source, TT, CD, R2R, digital stream? A lot to consider. Make sure room evaluated by acoustic... | |

| ARC Select Worth Price? @hickamore you should watch Michael Fremer’s The Absolute Sound tour of ARC on YouTube. They do a lot of testing and burn-in of their selected tubes for ARC gear. Most look like new production EH brands, e.g., Tung Sol 6550s, etc. ARC has built t... | |

Audio Research, Conrad Johnson, Cary Audio, Klipsch, v... | |
| Best affordable Linear Power Stage +1 LHY LPS. I have 5 LPS of three brands and think the LHY is best value for price. Vinshine Audio Singapore. | |

| Has it all been worth it? Worth it!! | |
| PrimaLuna EVO 400 v Cary SLI-100 +1 Cary Audio. Look at CAD 300SEI. Single Ended Triode Class A, full on tube experience for your Heresys. Upgrade the 300b to Gold Lion’s, and some nice NOS 6SN7s, Tung-Sol, Sylvania or RCA. Rated at 15 wpc but probably only outputs 3-5 wpc at nor... | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal +1 Qobuz for SQ. However I get occasional drops and spinning circle of death w Qobuz. Never on Amazon HiRes, but Qobuz superior SQ. Amazon has better algorithm suggestions. Never tried Tidal. | |
