tl;dr - In the UK, office with 4 walls and a metal slidey cupboard-wall-door thing. Got 2 pcs that get loud because fans spin to keep them cool. Which mic what do? For the deets, I have absolutely given up on this ModMic 4 I bought years ago. Trying to get a clean sound that doesn't have...

Hello currently I have a Topping L30II and E30II lite connected to the PC, I use Equalizer APO and the HD650 are phenomenal like this. I have tried gaming using spatial sound from windows and it works flawlessly with Equalizer APO as well. I thought I would be able to watch streaming services...

Hello, I produce a mix of progressive house and trance. I like to build epic 16 (sometimes even 32) bar chords and make it very plucky with fairly modern drums and basses. I'm just about to finish mixing my first song after producing for 1.5 years now and testing pretty much every genre. I'm...

Hey all, This is my first post on the forum so please correct me if I'm not following standard protocol or posting in the wrong place. When I was younger, my dad helped me pick out a Rega turntable, Sonos Connect, Rega Brio, and Neat Iota speakers for my bedroom. I've had that setup ever...

Hi, First time posting but hope the collective knowledge can help me out with my upgrade. My HiFi serves a dual purpose for TV and music, and I’ve been on a journey to find the best/neatest (are these compatible!) solution. Tried AVR and 5.1 (way too many cables for my wife), tried new A/B amps...

Dear All: i'm a long time audiophile who just got a new system and a dedicated listening chair. as such, i'd like to use a larger interface than my phone to be used exclusively at my listening chair and exclusively with Tidal. i don't stream from any other music streaming service. i don't...

200 albums from Hyperion Records are currently available on a couple of streaming services: https://www.hyperion-streaming.co.uk/ More will be added, as described here: https://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/ Certainly interesting for those of us who appreciate classical music and do like streaming.

The HiBy R6 III + Dock sells for $599. HiBy has a "remote" Android app that you can use to connect to this from your phone via a BT connection and then play on the DAP. Seems like a poor mans alternative to the EverSolo DMP-A6 / HiFi Rose crowd. This DAP runs Android 12 which means all of the...

Hi @amirm / Reviewers / Everyone, Hopefully this thread is worth having, if not I fully understand and it can be deleted. I'm wondering, besides from a blind test, can audio sources i.e. streaming services (Tidal, Apple Music, Qobuz, Amazon Music, Spotify, etc or even radio apps like TuneIn...

To set the scene... around 20 years ago I was listening to FLACs ripped from my own CD collection on a Logitech Squeezebox -> Musical Fidelity X-DACV3 -> Audio Alchemy DLC -> Cambridge Audio SA200 -> Mission 752. Our TV was also connected to the DLC so one could have TV/Movie sound on this...

I am moving soon to a new house and will have a new listening room that requires me to change to shorter speakers. The room is about 40m2 and has 3.2m high ceilings. There will be no acoustic treatment and I am looking to move from my current passive speaker setup (Focal Aria 948 and Onkyo...

Hi - apologies if this is covered elsewhere, but I couldn't find it / didn't know how to phrase a search to find it. Is there any straightforward way (not necessarily easy) to {a} use a single Mac/PC as multiple streaming endpoints (e.g. packing 4-8 Wiims into a Mac Mini) or to {b} use a single...

Hi guys. I am a Tidal user (HiFi only) and contemplating a move to Spotify. The reason is that I don’t like Tidal’s playlist management. It’s very annoying. I was wondering if you could hear the difference between Tidal (CD Quality) and Spotify premium which is 320. These two are my only...

I have been using Tidal HiFi Plus for a while now. I used to listen to MQA all the time, and lately decided not to as I read a few articles against MQA. My new DAC (RME) is not supporting MQA either. This made me think that I might need to downgrade my Tidal account to HiFi only. ($10 vs $20)...

Hello ASR, Apologies for asking an opinion based topic on a forum about science. However, 'bit-perfect' is something to take note of here, as it is something that Qobuz supports and amazon HD does not. (Of which I lack fundamental knowledge of - so more informed people can provide insight as to...

I'm new to "HiFi" so bear with me. I live in an upstairs, carpeted apartment so high quality sound at low volume (without headphones) is my goal. My listening tastes are varied, mostly jazz and classical with some country and classic rock mixed in. My current audio setup is a 20 year old Yamaha...

Hi, There are now many offerings of online audio streaming services. Someone gives access to their catalog, someone broadcasts, someone takes money for it, and someone does not. If I pay, then I want to be sure that the service meets the declared quality. For example, now I am a Spotify...

Hey All! Selling a MiniDSP SHD Studio. Its an open box unit, this is an extra unit that I never ended up using. Original box not included. ***Microphone not included. Price: $825 with shipping within the states. Other notes: SHD Studio All in One Streaming processor w/ Dirac Live...

Hi all, I am looking for a bit of advice to buy/build a DAC/streamer or combination. Here is what I have. I have 3 pairs of studio monitors connected by XLR to the following equipment soup. 1st input (either USB, RCA, or XLR) Schiit Jotunheim 1st gen with DAC module, then Schiit connects to...

Now that lossless has hit the mainstream, will you be dropping your Roon subscription in favor of one of the major streaming services?
