Whats on your turntable tonight?

Got a new streamer, so streamed all day yesterday (gasp). Not something I’ve ever done, so it must have sounded pretty good. But, back to my vinyl fix before football in a bit…

Lush - Ciao! Best Of Lush. 4AD 2LP gatefold 2015

Old 57's "Fight Songs"
Lp 2

+1 Steve

LOVE  "Fight Songs." Great album and one I need to pick up on vinyl.

Now playing:

Tiny Grimes, "Callin' the Blues"

Welcome to the digital world Brian!  What streamer did you get?

Unlike some, I embrace both analog and digital, and often one leads to the other.  I often discover things while listening to streaming music and end up purchasing the vinyl.  Sometimes I save myself some money by not buying something I thought I should pick up on vinyl.  There's certainly a convenience factor and no ticks or pops.  I love vinyl, but there's a lot to love about digital too.

Welcome to the digital world Brian! What streamer did you get?

I’ve had an inexpensive Dayton Audio streamer, which was just OK. After many positive reviews of the iFi Zen Stream unit, I found one available and got it. Funky looking, but added a lot of SQ. Only a streamer hooked to my Denafrips DAC via a XLO USB. And also have my music external hard drive hooked to it (with all my ripped CD files), which is nice instead of using DLNA. I have Tidal, and the nice thing is the iFi Stream has ‘Tidal Connect’ included, so can bypass iOS and Airplay, which I could not before. I think that made a huge difference. Now my iPad/iPhone is simply a remote.

Pretty nice unit. Never though just a streamer could make that much a difference.
