Streaming Services
Hello, Folks -
In an attempt to (somewhat) get with the times, I am incorporating streaming as a source in my audio system.
In my research I’ve seen that sound quality varies among the providers.
I’m looking for a provider suggestion. A service that you feel has high sound quality.
For the most part this would be for classical music. Some classic rock and jazz would be a plus.
I’m a fuddy duddy with my equipment and am not looking to change anything out. What I have:
Conrad Johnson HD3 USB DAC
Conrad Johnson Premier 16LS Preamp
Conrad Johnson Premier 12 Mono Block Power Amps
Vandersteen Quattro Loudspeakers
PGS interconnects
MacBook Pro
Any suggestions/recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you very much for reading my post.
Regards,
Randy
@tcotruvo I think it depends on one's preference, but I find Qobuz is more consistent and natural sounding versus MQA. That said, certain songs on MQA sound fantastic. I have both for that reason and will continue to. For the reasons I mentioned though, I am on Qobuz 99% of my regular listening.
Tidal has an advantage in a better algorithm for suggestions and similar music to stuff you've added as a favorite. |
The Rose rs150b has an internal Dac so just plug in the internet to the back and you can stream many of your streaming services (just log in). More importantly, through Roseradio you can stream hundreds of high quality internet stations. You can add stations to your favorites depending on your taste. Mine is Jazz vocals and I have maybe 20 in my favorites. To me this is the only way to go. |
