Thanks all for the help. I find the Cambridge machine a bit cranky on start up to connect to my internet address. Sometimes it takes a couple tries to lock which is kind of a PIA as the full system is now on a power conditioner so one on/off switch does it all. The cable company is under contract and supplies the router and a TIVO to every apartment and while the router does not have an Ethernet connection (75 ohm coax to the TIVO) in the back the TIVO does. It would be about 30 - 35 feet and through a wall to get from one to the other but I've wired surround speakers through a wall before to hide cables so that's not all that big a deal and I'm considering it. I think it would be a better data connection for higher rez radio stations and Tidal hi-fi anyway and Ethernet cable is not very expensive. .. Any opinions greatly appreciated.
Any Cambridge users on Tidal? Differences in Tidal levels?
I've got a Cambridge CXN (V2) now driving a Benchmark DAC 3 b as part of a vintage but high resolution system. Sony XA 5400 ES is also part of the system driving the DAC. It's really amazing to me how good well recorded stuff sounds and how screechy awful some 20 year old rock CDs sound. Equally amazing is how good some streaming channels are and how awful others can be. I guess it's time for me to subscribe to Tidal as Cambridge supports that service. Can anyone give me some feedback on Tidal quality at different subscription levels and ease of use with the Cambridge app? Thanks in advance.
