George what streaming services have you listened to?Not sure but a few, I don’t ask when the streamer is on, we just A/B streamer v his CD transport, loaded with early lowest uncompressed albums
We do the A/B’s at Edgars place, with Total Dac Wilson Alexia’s and Gryphon Antillion,
He the editor/owner of Soundstage Australia and any reviews he does, he lists his sources and equipment. So you can find out when it’s Roon, or whatever, he try’s them all.
But he’s diplomatic as all reviewers and Audio magazine owners are. As the equipment manufacturers they pay for advertising and his wage. But I didn’t need to tell you that, as you’d be very gullible if you didn’t.
The only one I know that’s bucked the system has been Johnny Darko with this video, and he doesn’t talk about the compression later re-release digital albums have over early ones of the same thing
