I took the plunge and went for the trial. (I've also mailed Qobuz support and asked them what the limits are)
I've had the fun of having two Chrome tabs for the LMS UI up, one browsing Tidal and one Qobuz. Making the system play the same song from each service. I can see from UI that the data rates from Q are much higher, as to be expected. I also understand that the Touch cannot handle the MQA option so was expecting Q to win out, but this is my first ever shootout of these services. I'll admit I couldn't really tell the difference. E.g between the CD quality Random Access Memories on T vs the 24bit version from Q. It might well be the limit of my ears or the setup and positioning of my system. It all just sounds awesome to me no matter what I play. I think I would need someone who really knows hifi in my house to confirm this setup, however life is a little too short. Touch - Anthem MRX500 - Monitor Audio Silver and Monolith Ironically most of my listening is in the car and the family prefers the ceiling speakers of our kitchen, because that's the room we're in most of the time. Next step - phone and headphones. I have an MQA enabled usb-c adaptor for the phone. Maybe I won't be able to tell the difference on that either. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gvh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1879 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111710 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
