| Downloads Versus Streaming @lalitk which is the very reason why I look at labels Qobuz and Tidal don’t have the rights to. For example Analogue Productions is releasing their remix/remaster of the Steely Dan catalogue. However, Walter and Donald already did remasters of the... | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @jbuhl So you've found a way for the Pi to work for you, which was something I was really interested in hearing about, thanks! | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @jbuhl All-right, not cheap but still within reach. Does it elevate audio quality to where it's equal to MPD? Also, I'm assuming you can now play DSD files via Roon when using the Sonic Transport? To be honest and it's a long way off but I'm rathe... | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @jbuhl So I take it that you bought a component from Roon or someone else that serves as the Roon Core and sounds better than your experience using a Mac computer? If so, it makes a good deal of sense to me that your experiencing better results wi... | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming Yeah, problem is that certain information about the remastering / recording process isn't usually available. Labels are not responsible in any way to be forthcoming about taking shortcuts or making compromises, you take your chances. Fortunately, ... | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @lalitk I don't know why you think that, the same level of compression happens on CD's and I'm guessing can occur with downloads, so my comment wouldn't indicate siding with one format or another. Compression is very real and often abused. So I'm ... | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @lalitk I come to find out also that many titles, even on major labels, are being hyper compressed. That would certainly negate any benefit from higher resolutions. | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @lalitk Thanks there's a lot on that post, probably much more than I need. I was asking for recommendations, not based on favorite music from an artistic slant but rather favorite streaming titles based on quality of sound. I have experienced what... | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming There's been mention regarding certain files on Qobuz that equal or surpass files stored on a hard drive. I'd be interested in knowing which files those are. What streaming titles are your favorites? Thank you again to all those who've shared. | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @jjss49 Will you tell us what you did to reach this level of streaming quality? | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming Streaming is very convenient and the quality is obviously precarious based on equipment, cables, etc… If I were to continue buying downloads and CD’s, I wouldn’t be depriving myself. I’m really curious however about the future of streaming and whe... | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming 😎 I’m listening to a DSD download of Bill Evan’s ‘Waltz For Debbie’. Its hard to believe a fifty nine year old recording from a night club could sound this amazing. Glad I spent the money! | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @jbuhl I was using an M1 Mac Mini. | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @grannyring & @verdantaudio Thanks for sharing your comparisons. What about a DSD comparison with high resolution files? For me, DSD sounds better than any other format. Good remasters also produce favorable results. @jbuhl I appreciate heari... | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @kota1 I was thinking about the NAIM. |
