    Building a streamer software from scratch

    Hey, here to share my experience of writing PC streamer software from scratch. It all started with getting into streamers by buying myself a CambridgeAudio MXN10. Nice little box, but the software on it made me sell it a few months later. So, I started to look around for more flexible options...

    The new Big Thief album sounds incredible

    Hi all, Not often do you hear a spectacular “live room” album from a newer band in their prime and at the height of their success, but the new one from Big Thief is just that. Jaw-dropping room acoustics as good as any live recording I’ve heard, incredible imaging and separation, just a joy to...

    How to properly stream TIDAL, Qobuz, Deezer, et cetera?

    Hi guys, So I've been meaning to ask if there's an optimal way to stream these streaming service, if you know what I mean..., like some players which directly support TIDAL or Qobuz or Amazon Music and stuff, but what if I stream TIDAL through Roon, would the sound quality get better? and why...

    Tidal and Roon Issues with Volumio

    I have a Allo Digione (Rasberry PI + Digione HAT). I have upgraded to the Volumio level that supports using the Digione as a Tidal Connect endpoint. I am also experimenting with Roon by running CORE on a PC and the Digione as an output. If I use either Tidal or Roon exclusively the Digione works...

    Allo Boss 2 Configuration and Setup

    After months of pondering and reading/researching I'm finally moving into the DAC portion of my setup. I purchased an Allo Boss2 last night based on the Audio Science Review video/review. I'm seeing there are a lot of player/software configurations. I don't have a digital music collection so I...

    I'm EXTREMELY happy with Tidal

    Excellent quality, good interface, never freezes or shuts down. Creating play lists is easy and 90% of my song/artist/album searches are found. TIDAL HiFi relies on FLAC (16bit / 44.1kHz) $20.00 per month. Highly recommended. I use it on my phone to stream and play via BlueTooth and from my...

    Year of Tidal Hifi for $119 (or $99 with BestBuy rewards)!

    Pretty crazy deal for the HiFi tier! I got a year for $99, which is 65% cheaper than monthly. I like Tidal a lot and prefer it to Spotify in many ways, specifically music discovery and stations. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/tidal-hifi-yearly-subscription-digital/6407163.p?skuId=6407163

    Monitor Audio RS6 silver speakers; as good as you've heard (or better)

    I had just watched this old review from Thomas & Stereo where he gushed uncharacteristically about their sound quality. I find him to be the most reasonable YouTube reviewer, rarely going into hyperbole about every new piece of equipment he gets and always reminding people of the context of HiFi...

    Chromecast Ultra into Denon AVR-3500H.... good enough?

    Hello everybody, I should start out by saying that I am not nearly the perfectionist that many people on this forum are. I mostly listen to Spotify and Plex FLAC for my music. I’m thinking about going back to Tidal, but need to know if my current setup is worth it or if any relatively simple...

    Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 and Tidal MQA issues.

    I recently purchased this DAC and was having issues with the Tidal desktop app. I would see the DAC MQA indicator on only a few of the master recordings in the library. So I decided to try Roon, since the DAC literature claims it is "Roon ready". Voila all masters playing correctly, along...

    Ideal audio output level from Chromecast to DAC?

    Hey there, I have a Musical Fidelity VDAC II that I feed my main system with. I use a Chromecast with an HDMI optical audio extractor as my source (I've done A/B between this setup and a Chromecast Audio with optical out and found no difference) At any rate, I stream TIDAL HiFi to the system...

    How to get the most out of tidal?

    1) using a CCA at the moment straight into a Yamaha as2100. Need a dac obviously. CCA can't to MQA, but that's fine for now. If I streamed a flac tidal stream into the CCA, then used the optical out on the CCA to go into a dac/reclocker/something else, what would be the best device to use...
