In the chain below, Tidal 16/44 sounds better than Redbook, MQA sounds much better (afraid I might become an MQA junkie), and I can't hear a difference between FLAC and Tidal streaming. I have to go back and try WAV.
My disc spinning has nearly stopped as a result.
Also intend to try better ethernet cable, based on what I've read here on the 'Gon, currently have cheapo, want to try Supra. For what it's worth, I think PS Audio believes transmission via ethernet to be superior to toslink, upc, can't remember why tho.
Oppo 105D via AQ toslink or Tidal/Roon from modem via ethernet -> PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC with Bridge II.
