Just get a topping bc3 bluetooth module, a v90 dac by musical fidelity, and a samsung galaxy tab a 10.5 and be happy. Streaming on the cheap and it all works flawlessly. No need to buy expensive streamers etc..the tablet has Qualcomm’s aptx and Sony’s ldac. Get amazon hd music free for 90 days to try out. You would be amazed how nice this bluetooth topping bc3 sounds. Yea, it can be bettered, but at what cost? I’m a casual streamer, so this set up works great for my purposes. The only accessory I needed to buy to make it all work was a toslink cable, mini to full toslink. Unbelievably simple. The only issue is that samsung pulled aptx hd from the bluetooth codec menu, however Ldac is still usable. Even at the lower resolution codec settings, it still sounds wonderful to me.
Any way to listen to wav or high bit files with anything approaching audiophile sound?
Forgive the question, but this is my first time posting on Audiogon in a few years and I'm not up on some of the latest technology. I'm doing a project where I'm going through as much music as possible for a blog I'll be creating where I find my 1,000 favorite albums of all time and ranking them. I'm most of the way through my thousands of CD's (don't do LP's), and I have decent audiophile equipment, though nothing top of the line.
For other music, I'm going to have to listen to it online or purchase a digital version of the music, as there's no way I can afford to buy thousands more cd's, or they're out of print on cd's (as much of the music I love that I don't have is somewhat obscure), or they never existed on cd. Some albums I know I won't be able to find.
First off, is there a way to legally find more obscure albums online other than illegal downloading?
Secondly, is there ANY way to listen to said music in anything remotely approaching audiophile sound quality? Does it have to be a certain file type or bit rate? I've always stayed away from digital files in the past, but now I kind of need them. Is there some kind of audiophile digital storage device where I can download music to and play it on my stereo system? I'm pretty ignorant about these things, so again forgive me, and any help would be appreciated. I don't expect the music to sound quite as high fidelity as using cd's on audiophile equipment, but what are my options to get as close as possible?
