RE: Tidal is lossless. Well, not really. Tidal and other streaming services, must compress to fit a lot of channels into a small stream. Maybe after they compress and otherwise modify the bits and bytes, they don't change the signal, but I have never heard a streaming service that compares to the best in home sources, at least on good recordings. IMnsHO, anyone who touts such has not heard a really good system. |
Go with the flow .Unless you spend $2,000 you won't be happy. Does that mean anything that cost $200 is a piece of garbage? All I can say is you don't have to be an audiophile if you not rich.I feel sorry for the guy who has to spend $2000 ,5,000,10,000 because these guys are never happy.Even when there system has $500,000 speakers ,and cost a million or more .. .LOL . |
danvignau RE: Tidal is lossless. Well, not really.That's probably technically true, because of Tidal's reliance on MQA. Tidal and other streaming services, must compress to fit a lot of channels into a small stream.Oh no, that's mistaken. Qobuz, for instance, is hi-res and completely uncompressed. I have never heard a streaming service that compares to the best in home sources, at least on good recordings. IMnsHO, anyone who touts such has not heard a really good system.Perhaps you should go back and check your streamer and DAC settings, because - as you state - you're somehow listening to compressed audio. |
