Ok now I am frustrated with streaming
jmphotography OPThat’s exactly what it sounded like to me. I keep thinking now it may be my old amp failing.Put your CD player back on the system and see if that’s still the case Cheers George |
Though I understand the point of having either discs or LP's, streaming music is so much more convenient, and the library nearly unlimited. @hgeifman makes great points. My Verizon Fios service had issues for more than a year. Luckily, a good tech realized that it was something at the main terminal-They replaced just about everything inside my home, as well as on the street. Streaming music is still pretty new, so things are going to happen that unfortunately will take time/patience to rectify. Despite this, I believe it will become as good or even better than discs or LP's. Bob |
Network bandwidth issues usually result in delays while playing. Never heard it cause distortion. Been streaming happily for years now. WiFi can be obstructed by objects in the signal path and of course weak signal can cause issues. Laptop should tell you how strong WiFi signal is at a particular location. Try moving things a bit if possible and see if signal strength changes. In any case never heard of weak WiFi resulting in distortion. Should be all or nothing. Always possible lights, microwave oven, etc impacts WiFi signal but again never experienced distortion as a result. Make sure source devices are delivering proper line levels. Any volume control on play? Try a different non streaming source device as a test maybe or try a different input on preamp if available. |
