I listen to Spotify on my system and it sounds great to me. I listen to my music on my system and it sounds great to me. I listen to some hi rez downloads on my system and they sound great to me. I'm listening to the music, not the system. I have pretty decent rig with a hi end dac. A big music library, pre amp and amp, turntable and all that stuff. I've been able to tune out the system and just listen. Isn't that what this hobby is all about? The music.

Lower the jitter enough and even MP3 at decent resolution is great. I listen to Amazon Prime music at 10Psec jitter a lot using my Off-Ramp 6 USB converter and it sounds fantastic. Locally played .wav files of the same tracks at 24/96 are slightly better, but you need to be in the sweet spot with your eyes closed to hear the difference. Steve N. Empirical Audio |
