Why do you prefer using LMS instead of web browser?
I use browser in my linux box (my main computer) to stream Deezer. I think it works rather well and the sound seems 'normal'.
- even though I could, I don’t want to install EQ software in my work laptop, I’m in and out videoconferencing all day and I purposely use different headphones for that
- my DAC is connected to another PC (where I have EQ software) in the same desktop, but I switch USB docking stations to get screen and keyboard access to that, which makes it messy because the docking drivers are unstable and after several switching backs and forth, it takes really long to reconnect the two external screens
- I realized that I listen to music more frequently if I am not on my desktop during weekdays. Mostly because of mental health separation of workplace and entertainment area
- I am using LMS on a old laptop somewhere else in the house (or my personal PC) and then use iPeng from the phone to control deezer flow, and stream it to my phone or the iPad (upnp) where neutron takes care of the EQ, both my headphones are easy to drive
- I could use an uPnP player in windows to use the DAC - AMP and EQ there, but I needed to make sure LMS could reliably stream FLACs from deezer HiFi (Qobuz is not available here)
- switching my work laptop to Linux and then dealing with pulseeffects and the many office-work dependencies from my day is throwaway work
- achieving the LMS-way would help me to set up a headphones station where I can allow my wife to use any headphones she wants to try and share my hobby with her; we’ve developed a dynamic where we share playlists of new music we discover every week and it’s a fun thing to do until we can get vaccinated here in Costa Rica
