Is there a difference in sound quality when streaming TIDAL Vs CD player

Here are some DACs between $1500-$3,500 I think would surpass the DACs in your Arcam.  If you are all in on digital music, it would be worth it to check these out.  Which is for you depends on your budget, personal tastes and synergy with your other gear and your room.

-Auraluc Vega
-Bryston BDA-3
-Chord Qutest
-HoloAudio Spring Kitsune Tuned Edition Level 3
-iFi Pro iDSD DAC
-Mytek Hifi Brooklyn DAC+
-Naim DAC-V1
-Schiit Audio Yggdrasil

Oh, and add the Benchmark DAC3 HGC to the list above.

Don't rule out Qobuz if you talk about stream. You should try Qobuz studio 192khz/24 bit. Compare to CD, it is day and night. Try it yourself.

I personally would be scared to purchase used speakers.  How does a novice even know they are in perfect condition?  Why is the party selling them getting rid of them?  That would indicate they were not satisfied with the sound quality.

I wonder if anyone has ever heard a pair of SALK Song3 Encore speakers?  For $6,000 they were much better than a pair of $60,000 speakers I heard at the RMAF.  They are certainly better than any of the Focal speakers I have heard.  Obviously, no one in this discussion group thinks much of Focal otherwise you would constantly hear people bragging about how great they are.  They are also over priced.  However, I do like their tweeters and their mid voicing.  I think they are designed to hear classic music and vocals such as Diana Krall or choral music.

“Why is the party selling them getting rid of them?”

I wouldn’t be worrying about this too much. People change / upgrade / downgrade components for various reasons. The key is to read available specs and reviews for the component or speakers you’re considering before you make a purchase. Next thing you need to make sure that used item has no operational or cosmetic flaws and what’s being included in the sale. 

SALK Audio makes great speakers and are reasonably priced. I am not sure about the analogy of $6K vs $60k....i think this kind of broad generalizations ( like any Focal speakers ) is too vague and carries no weight. I personally don’t care for low end Focals but once you get upto mid to high range they are pretty good. 

You find Focal’s overpriced, no argument there but so is everything else that carries ‘fat’ dealer margins. Plus Focal’s are being made overseas, so one must account for import duties and freight costs.
