I guess the streamer and DAT are incompatible.
Hi-res streaming on Qobuz
Although hi-res titles on Qobuz indicate streaming at 96kHz or192kHz, I’m not sure my system is reproducing those levels. Both my Arcam Rplay streamer and Schiit Gungnir multibit manuals indicate they accept up to 192kHz. But I can’t hear a difference in quality comparing hi-res to non hi-res files. Even if I do an A B comparison using the exact same titles with Qobuz hi-res and Idagio CD quality resolution, I hear no difference. There are no indicators to tell what’s happening, so I’m wondering if I’m indeed hearing in high resolution.
Is there any way I can be sure?

@ OP, Hey Richard, I use an Ayre Codex and Bluesound Node for streaming. The Ayre shows the output on it's display. I can definitely hear a difference between 44 and 96. Perhaps you can get a Bluesound Node instead of the Arcam. Though Bluesound support can be somewhat Byzantine, it is available, and they have helped me many times. You don't need the newest model. I still use the original Node (Square cube), and it works like a charm. Ebay should have a bunch for sale. Bob |
@rvpiano .. Chris Connaker wrote an article about DTS Play-Fi a few years ago which you might find interesting: https://audiophilestyle.com/ca/bits-and-bytes/dts-play-fi-has-major-design-flaws/ Basically, his issue is the stream goes through the device your app resides on, which may not support higher res streams. Are you using iOS? Android? |
