Streaming services --
Have just now cancelled my Deezer Hifi streaming sub, I had a 1 month free trial but I simply wasn't using it.
Qobuz 16/44 seems to work best for me
- excellent sound
- can cut & paste text for searches etc (can't do this in Spotify or Deezer Hifi for some reason)
- recording label is indexed so can be included in searches (I think this is unique to Qobuz?). I use this quite a lot.
- "CD booklet" download is available for a decent proportion of albums
The only downside to Qobuz is a short gap between tracks, which is a bit of a pain when the music is continuous. The only streaming service I have tried that does this right and is totally gapless is Spotify. But Spot doesn't work well on my PC and does not have the 4 above-mentioned benefits of Qobuz.
I might try TIDAL again - I haven't used it for a couple of years.
Cancelled my spotty freebee too, for same reasons, as tidal is integrated im my system. I couldnt get qoboz to work on my system pc. Only would work on ipad. Put me off alas.
Yes, the different streaming services seem to behave quite differently on different hardware/operating system/software etc setups.
One person's reccie may be totally useless to someone else who sees a different user interface and where the dang things behave differently.
Quite strange, really.
New stuff, not yet plumbed in...
- Linear PSU for my Wyred4Sound reclocker widget.
- W&M LS-06 speaker cables. I do love my LS-02 cables, so I have high hopes of these.

And running in now - sort of small brother to Grant's Nuraphones - Even H1 headphones with built in hearing test and correction DSP.

Ducks are best.

Not sure a duck actually swims, isn't it more of a flotation device with paddles attached?
