Music streaming

If you want the ultimate in streaming sound quality (for me and my audio system, Tidal came out #1) go with either Tidal, Qobuz or both.  Happy listening.

Thanks,I will check Tidal out.

Yes, you can plug an ethernet cable directly into the Vega and stream from there.  Remember you can also plug in an optical from a TV.  

So if I watch a video on you tube premium on my TV ,and use the optical output to the Vega I shouldn't loose much audio quality?

I have both Tidal and Qbuz, they both sound great. I’ve had Tidal longer and am more comfortable navigating the site. Just pick one and do a Trial. One thing I discovered is when I stream in my car Siri does not support Qbuz. I downloaded about 80 gigs of Tidal to my phone that I can play and stream when I’m in the mountains or off coast fishing and lack a cellular signal. Happy Listening, Mike B. 

You will get all that You Tube gives, up to 96kHz.  This is better than YouTube output I think.  It will sound amazing, if your tv is centered between your speakers.

The reason we use AES (196kHz) or USB (DSD etc) is to send higher resolution files to the DAC if they are available.  Qobuz streams vary from CD quality (44.1kHz) all they way up to 196kHz.

You can Bluetooth Youtube from whatever device you're using to the Vega.
