How To Get The Best Sound From Pandora & Rhapsody?

Mitch4t - Sorry, I've never used Rhapsody and can't compare their catalog to Mog.com's.

None of the online streaming sites have everything you might want to hear. Fortunately, you don't have to choose just one. It's exploring the music that's important to me, not the bit rate.

I use Mog.com almost exclusively because it lets me control my listening experience more than the other sites but if I really want to sample something they don't have I look elsewhere. And when I find something I really like I buy the CD.

Hi Mitch .... I never compared the content of MOG vs. Rhapsody. All I know is that to my ears, with my system, in my room ..... Music streaming through MOG sounds considerably better than streaming through Rhapsody, Pandora, and Spotify.

Hgeifman. How do you know the Ayre will sound better in your system?

Ptss: That is a very good question. I will let you know in early February after I start using the Ayre QB-9 DAC.

I heard the Ayre QB-9 using the MAC Computer, my amplifier and my speakers at the Audio Store and liked it very much. I am currently using the MAC connected to the DAC in the Oppo 105 now and it does sound very good. I felt the Ayre QB-9 sounded better but the real test will be when I hook up the Ayre and compare it to the Oppo 105 in my system.

Best possible sound from Pandora, Rhapsody, etc. is to turn it off. It's junk sound.
