    (Europe) Master Deals Thread on Audio Product Sales

    They only had a few items on Amazon.nl in April last year. They listed the 8300CDQ for €890 while other shops asked 1200>1500 for it. But since they are on the Audiolab distributors list I took the plunge and it turned out okay.

    How can I improve on mid 80s CD recordings?

    Could be those are pre-emphasized CDs and you're current setup doesn't deal with that, which causes them to sound very bright.

    Best software options for linux music streaming server that can also play local headless?

    Maybe you should give JRiver Media Center a try. I run it on a Pi 4 with Raspberry Pi OS to serve Apple Lossless to my Apple stuff, DLNA devices and a Pi running Moode, controlled with their JRemote app. It also has video capabilities but I never tried those.

    Mac OS X audio driver and SQ

    Core Audio is the audio layer of OS X so you can't bypass it. What you can bypass is the system mixer which down/upsamples everything to the samplerate set in audio/MIDI Config.

    Spotify Premium showing 44.1Khz 16bit in Volumio with Spotify connect 2. Is this really lossless or trickery?
