I'm Grant.
think amazon is 320 kb so quite good. I have a lot of stuff there and any time I have a listen it is fairly presentable tbhOriginally Posted by jandl100
I've just now hooked up the PC to the Dual Mode DAC via its USB port and am listening to my Amazon Music purchases. Probably low sample rate, but still sounds good.
Next step Tidal?

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

That's so they can charge you when you forget to cancel it. They are all at it. Amazon, Netflix etc list is endless.Just looked at the Tidal free trial - and the boogers want payment info.
The Amazon downloads are only 256Kbps MP3 IIRC - TIDAL is lossless FLAC. Go on give them your details. Be brave

Don't forget also that Youtube videos have the possibility of 384kbps AAC at 720p resolutions and above.
Listening to music on there can be pretty good - just have to find the ones that are uploaded at the higher rates and plenty of full albums on Youtube.

I've just run a test - 6.44Mbps - is that adequate?

Most definitely I think. Faster is always better but that should be alright it is almost three times quicker than the link I had when you were using but here. I now have 38Mbps as BT has finally installed FTC close by.

Hi,
It's dead easy to cancel Tidal, can be done at any time after sign up and you can do it during the free trial and it will not take payment when the trial period is up 😉

I look forward to hearing your impression of the sound quality. I'm only playing vinyl at the moment, but have considered Tidal due to its resolution.Hmmm - tempted then. I've received 3 emails now from Tidal prompting me to finish the sign-up process - I baulked at the credit card bit.
