I've had my BPS1500 mains supply from Airlink for about a year now and I've know about the mechanical humming since I first installed it however it was hidden in a cabinet so the noise was not...

I would look into Superlux. It might seem on the low price range (£20-50) but they are simply outstanding (and not just 'for the price').

I have had 3 different pairs and listened to 5 and they...

So the Cat6 UTP doesn't suffer from air RFI?

If a streamer is powered by a conditioner (cleaner power source) and has an ethernet (lets say cat5/6/7/8 shielded) from a router (powered by the "out...

I have a Zen Mini 3 streamer which has a built in SSD and CD drive for getting music onto the SSD. Before I ripped any CDs onto it I took a USB HD with Back In Black on it and plugged it in the back,...

The reason for my reply is that I am very interested in any (essentially) free upgrade in SQ for my system, but I do have a question. The USB cable I use is connected to a streamer (source) and then...

It sounds like MQA are staffed by 50 lawyers and 1 CEO/face of the company. Tidal can thank their lucky stars that 100% of their customer base aren't audiophiles.

GoldenSound breaks down MQAs response to his original video.

Faith in MQA restored........not.

Thoughts?

I've honestly confused my ears before trying to determine the difference between the two and as sound quality goes, I've struggled to hear the difference between FLAC and WAV, I just like the piece...

Do/can you obtain 24bit from physical media or Hi-Res downloads only?

How did you digitise your vinyl? Is it all in the player? Because I used to have a cheapy record player that advertised that but all it inevitably did was record the vinyl as it was playing and saved...

Yeah I've heard that, I don't think the device I have that plays SACDs has an analogue output so I guess it would end up just playing the CD layer anyway so I don't feel too bad about missing out....

Yeah I have a UHD Blu-ray player that plays SACD but the interface for music is almost unusable (although it's actually a decent front end for playing regular CDs, almost competes with a Mac playing...

Honestly I think I just need to research DSD and find out what sources use DSD because I'm not familiar with it but if streaming services don't use it and there's no way to get DSD from a regular CD...

So I don't have the play, I don't have a SACD player (or any SACDs for that matter)...so until I have any of them, I can ignore DSD and put this update slot in the "never use" catagory?

Because it...

Completely agree but with hard drives being so cheap and black Friday deals on 4 & 8TB drives making them highly affordable, I just personally feel a certain piece of mind knowing the file is free of...

What exactly would that do? (I'm genuinely quite interested). And how do I install it?

If you have the space, go with WAV. Completely uncompressed and no loss of information. I know there's far more detailed explanations out there but to be honest, I think it's fairly safe to stand by...

No reply from their team so no update unfortunately. Will maybe try again.

That's great news, I've had endless problems with my boiler, HW and central heating since moving in, there's all sorts of noises in the pipes still and the hot water tank makes the most inane...

Yeah I check the DRDB even before buying a CD, just to make sure I get the best DR (if I can), but I'll do that for SACD in future too.

However, where is best to buy SACD in the UK?

I do the exact same thing, I've used Spotify to find about 25% of my collection tbh.

Just out of interest, how much do you pay for your average SACD? And where would you suggest getting them?

What was the valve doing? What about it needed fixed?

I fully agree. I've been bolstering my collection for the last few years and it's impossible to deny the quality difference. I also like having the physical copy, something about opening it and...

I had to make the same decision when deciding on how to listen to music and tidal just doesn't compare to FLAC/WAV from CD but I guess it comes down to how much is that worth? Most people would say...

A mate and I did a side by side blind comparison of Spotify and Tidal a while back (we had no idea about the MQA scam at the time) and even then we could hear a Tidal 'signature' on the music that...
