    Dutch & Dutch 8c Review

    Wagner: Die Wallküre, WWV 86B live. Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks. Conductor: Sir Simon Rattle. Track: Act 1 - Vorspiel but we listened to more than this track. What I mean with the "dynamic range" is not that it might was maybe louder in the digitally session. At the very...

    Gustard X16 Balanced MQA DAC Review

    Thanks for the information @Laserjock ! I read that the lightning to USB3 adapter allows a 24bit depth via the iOS Tidal App. I saw that there is the one version that needs power to get more features.

    Gustard X16 Balanced MQA DAC Review

    Thanks for the useful overview! Regarding MQA is more or less a nice to have because I first decided for TIDAL and then recognized that they provide MQA. So I want to try it out and am interested in the format.
