I don't think it is ickstream. I see the buffering on the TOUCH only as
well, so not just related to my older Transporter. Also I can have hours
and days of use with zero buffering. It is only sometimes. And those
sometimes are typically early evening for me (I'm in Eastern United
States). I get
Anything that burns in or breaks in is also wearing out.
Why would you buy a cable that's wearing out?
(Basically, cable break in is a lie, just designed to get you to hold
onto the new cable until you can't return it, because they sound
*exactly* the same as much cheaper cables.)

@pippin, Could you elaborate on this. So my Transporter has a smaller

Well, it's all about that Net Neutrality thing everybody keeps talking
about.
Yes. I don't know the exact figures for the Transporter but Touch and
Radio use 3MB which

available.

There is one risk remaining: especially the old Squeezebox models have a
rather small internal buffer so they are a bit more sensitive against
unstable connections compared to especially the smartphone Apps (but
TIDAL's web interface for me always was even more sensitive).
Thanks for the detailed explanation. So I need to hope that TIDAL cuts
the same deals as Netflix in the future.

Yes. That sounds about right.
It'll be a bit of work though. The only way these recordings would sound
any good in digital is if we do vinyl drops at 384kHz, 32-bits floating

What burns in is your mind :)
Re cables as any reasonably designed cable is the same as any other ,
they can't per definition burn in as you can't hear them in the first
place .
And there is no property that change in any reasonable time span .
cables are the same for decades .
Maybe they

It's pretty simple, really. There's a big difference between systems
with servers running (mostly) on general purpose computers rather than
having software running on the limited, low power

Yes, please let me know. I usually also tell TIDAL then because I know
they are still optimizing their network and can use the feedback.
