Dealers Who Refuse to Honor Their Published Web Prices
Imagine what happens down the road when it breaks and you have to have it serviced. HA! Good luck. Buy stuff from a place that has humans that know high end audio and work at a real store. Not a website and a warehouse and voicemail.    Matt M

Qobuz vs Airplay
I have tried both Tidal and Qobuz using my Aurender X100L music streamer connected via USB audio to a Oppo BDP 105. I can safely say that Qobuz does sound very good (the best) but Tidal has a way better selection and a lot if not the majority of t...
