many thanks for the input. i was aware that this was going to be an apples to oranges comparison. just wanted to point out that spotty is an overachiever, coming out on top of the tidal plugin in many instances. may be others have had the same experience with these plugins.
meanwhile, the on-the-fly conversion from 256k CBR to VBR continues to intrigue me with the tidal plugin. perhaps mherger could shed further light on how this plugin works: 1. press play and receive 256k constant bit rate mp3 2. check if user is subscribed to tidal hifi 3. switch seamlessly to variable bit rate flac if user name and password are authenticated ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mcduman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66702 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110076 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
