| Streaming services. I can buy the CD and add it to my library then. My wife had the LP when we met and wanted to listen again, we had both forgotten about it, at least Tidal jogs the old memory when searching. Finding so many things hard to keep track. Thanks all. | |
| Streaming services. So far I have ben very happy with Tidal, surprised actually by the sound quailty. . There is one thing. I found a CD , Donovan's Cosmic Wheels one time and haven't been able to find it again. I can find the song but not the whole CD. Is this nor... | |
| Could I be a Retail Wretch? The last new car I bought I researched what I wanted and looked up the best price in my area for the model I was looking for. When it got down to the " hard " negotiating the salesman did the usual figuring on his paper and showed me his price but... | |
| Could I be a Retail Wretch? Have you ever asked the dealer to match the price ? | |
| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming The cost probably will rise. I used to watch TV for free not counting ads and was sold the notion of a nominal fee for cable and no more ads. Now I pay ridiculous amount for cable and have 5 times the ads. Hopefully streaming music won't take the... | |
| Dumb file size question. They aren’t different sizes because information is missing it has to do with number and/or lenght of songs. | |
| Dumb file size question. Depends on the CD, while a CD can hold 750 mb not all of it is used most times. Some uncompressed CD I ripped in Wav could be as little as 400mb or as much as 700mb and the 24/96 file will be a lot larger than the same recording in redbook. | |
| Integrated Amp or Receiver suggestion for Prestige 95Fs I used to have the 85f paired with the older Anthem 225 integrated and later a Micromega M100 because of the room correction it offered, they worked great with either. Before I sold them I thought about the new hybrid McIntosh that a dealer said ... | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed IS this cable done yet? As my father used to say can you stick a fork in it? I just hooked up a set of belden speaker cables yesterday I think it took them about 20 minutes to burn in same time it takes to burn a steak. | |
| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming I can't say if WAV sounds better than FLAC but I did rip all my CD's to WAV since HHD storage is so cheap and I can't tell the difference between streaming the WAV from playing the CD on my CDP both going through the same DAC. TO be honest streami... | |

| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming To me Tidal CD or MQA streamed through my node2i using the dac on my integrated sounds as good as cd on CDP through the same dac. Maybe my ears aren’t good enough to notice. | |
| Streamer/DAC combo or stand alone DAC with Node2? The dac in the node2i is pretty good but I prefer using the dac in my integrated amp which uses some version of an AKM 4490 |
