Your post confuses me. You state that you are frugal, but seem to be interested in spending more money should purchase improve the sound vs streaming. A good place to start is for you to post (on your profile) your full system down to all cabling. You might then state a budget and ask where it best be spent to improve the sound.
The difference between Qoboz stream vs purchased songs
I am a admittedly noob, so please forgive my ignorance. Recently, have had the pleasure of getting a Innuos pulse mini, what a game changer! I knew that with the mini you cant buy music, only stream. Using Qoboz, is there’s a difference in sq between the two? I live on a fixed income so I have to be frugal and am trying to figure out where it’s best spent. Thanks so much for any info on this subject.

The simple answer no.
I have two Aurender streamers using Qobuz and if the published resolution is the same and, of course the same mastering, then no.
Qobuz supplies over half a million high Rez recordings and millions at CD quality level. If you want high quality sound then I recommend upgrading your streamer and (depending on your system) the rest of your system. |
@carlsbad2 that's what I was thinking, right. @ghdprentice am always trying to up my game, the pulsemini was a welcome addition to the mix. Am currently thinking of the Parasound halo hint 6 as the next victim in this madness. Hoping this will replace the Marantz 7025 power amp, using a Marantz sr5015. Hoping to use the parasound w/ht pass through. Have some kef ls50meta, along with a rel ht1003. Synergistic research foundation power and speaker, audioquest evergreen interconnect, and iconoclast power, for cableing. Any thoughts on this is appreciated. @vonhelmholtz look above, have tried to post my system on the sight, I get stupid or something, but i cant figure it out, sorry. My budget is around $2500 a year. Thanks for any input you may have. |
