Solo streamer

@mahler123 there is such thing as lossless compression. Absolutely everything is compressed on the Internet to save bandwidth and improve speed. Without any losses. Think ZIP archive.

@rvpiano I’m listening to the 9th again, streaming from Qobuz. 
It sounds fine, still slightly overdone with loudness but it’s not offensive by any means. Running the following:

Aurender N200 via Audience StudioOne USB to Bricasti M3  that feeds Boulder 866 integrated via Nordost Tyr 2 XLR. Bricasti does an amazing job with this recording. 
 

Anyone using any kind of isolation feet/platform with the Aurender? 

Thanks,

Not a fan of Bruckner. Hard for me to listen to.

I accept what you’re saying though.  I think it may be a DAC thing.  Although, other than Pittsburgh/Honeck, just about  everything else doesn’t exhibit this problem.
